Building a Modern End Table | Plans Available
Building a Modern End Table // Side Table // Plans Available
In this video, I show you how I built TWO Modern End Tables (the Sophia Collection) out of quarter-sawn white oak, white oak veneer plywood and walnut. These will be used as end tables (or side tables, depending on your preferred nomenclature) in our house, but they would also make great bedside tables. I love the push-to-open drawers which eliminate the need for drawer pulls and add to the sleek and minimalist modern look. The application of Rubio Monocoat really made the grain on the white oak come to life and I look forward to seeing these every day for many years to come. **See link below for downloadable plans to build your own!

Always a blessing when a woodworker actually speaks and narrates in his videos. They actually teach us something.
I really appreciate the feedback. Thank you for that!!
And his narration is always funny and smart.
This video defines so well the time in which we live. I tip my hat to you good sir.
Bourbon Moth Woodworking That’s deep bro. Have you been drinking? 🥃
You got all the KZhead OG woodworkers giving you props in the comments. That says something.
i know its a small thing, but i really like how you keep the audio of the machines being used in the video, its even better because you made the machines noise subtle, its a cool addition to the video!
I really appreciate that feedback! I’ve gotten away from keeping some shop sounds in my latest videos and do plan on getting back to that. Thanks!
One two three.. and this masterpiece has been done!!! Cool stuff, man!!
Thanks very much! I appreciate it! 👍🏻
I haven't seen precision work as yours anywhere else, and believe me I have seen videos all over youtube. Keep posting such amazing crafts.
Wow, thank you! I will!
Great video Keith! Love hearing your personality showing thru on this voiceover.... Oh yea, table is pretty nice too 😉
Thanks so much, Mike! I really appreciate that. I've been deep diving into your videos lately, got a little concrete project coming up...😀
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking I agreed, love to hear your personality throughout the video. I subscribe from Argentina
@@juampykoch4261 Awesome! Thank you!
Ok Mike get back to the renovation... I'm having withdrawals and you're just watching other makers.... 😉.
@@mattgrimmett6067 😂🤣
Fine Arts; are the things that human hand, head and heart work together. Congratulations on the project and the way it works smartly, hiding great experiences.
Thank you very much! You are very kind! 🙏😊
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking You're welcome. See you. greetings.
I don't know what draws me more to your video's the woodworking, story telling or Jerry. Beautiful pieces.
Wow, thank you!
The voice overs are seriously the best on you tube. I love comedy and woodworking and i get both from this channel great job
Dang Michael!! Thank you! That means a lot. 🙏🏻👊🏻
This is AWESOME! Love the voice over and the double-mint was 👌🏻 classic! Thanks for putting this together, I hope to one day challenge myself with a build such as this. Thanks man! 🤙🏻
Andy Kremer - Alpha Kilo Woodworking Thanks so much Andy! And I’m normally a Trident guy, but that D-mint was quite tasty 😆
I watch these videos and I'm jealous as hell. I couldn't even dream of such tools. Yea I have a jig saw, circ saw, and a router. But other than that, it's all hand planing, chisel work and a sanding block. But I'm not doing 15 minute KZhead vids. Thanks for the dreams tonight.
You can do a ton of amazing things with those limited tools!
Keith, Your tools especially your measuring instruments are awesome!!!!! and your attention to detail and precision is inspiring. Thanks Rus
Thanks a lot, Rus!! I appreciate the kind words. 🙏 Happy New Year!
I love the whole process and the story telling of the making! Such an inspiration!
Thank you so much! Super appreciate the feedback and I'm glad you liked it. 🙏👍
What a joy watching you work and explain everything. So many talents other than woodwokring! Videoediting, teaching, voiceovers, organisational skills, jokes etc. Do more videos pls! 🙂
Wow, thank you!! Your comments and kind words are very much appreciated. 🙏 More videos on the way!! 👍
Love your IG videos, but this longer format full build is fantastic! Can't wait for more. Great job!
Andrew Johnson Thanks so much Andrew! There are definitely more on the way! 👍🏻
The level of details is spot on. Beautifully executed project.
Wow! Thanks so much. I appreciate that!
Great tables, Keith. Love the intro!
Fix This Build That Thanks Brad! Super appreciate that! 👊🏻
This is amazing. This level of precision is awesome, your skills and your experience are so satisfying to observe in action. Respect.
Thank you so much 😀
This is a combination of Comedy Central and great woodworking, doesn’t get better than that!
😁 Thanks so much! You’re too kind! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻👍🏻
Just because you have a million gadgets doesn’t make you a woodworker. I have plenty of friends with thousands and thousands in tools and fancy gizmos and can’t build worth a crap. If it helps you and you can justify it, buy it! This on the other hand is BEAUTIFUL craftsmanship! Amazing piece! This is the first video I’ve seen of yours and I love the process!
Thanks so much Robert! I do love tools and gadgets, especially when they help with accuracy and enjoyment of the craft. 👍
Awesome work Keith! Congrats, a hug!
Many thanks!
Magnificent! Precision in every step, way to go! One day I'll build something 5% similar 🤣
Maycon Silva 🤣 I have no doubt you can build it!!
Amigo lo felicito mucho por sus lindos trabajos;,,,y le digo también que le tengo una envidia sana y limpia por todas esas herramientas extraordinarias hermosas que tiene ud.... bueno un gran saludo desde aquí de Chile....todo mi apoyo en sus vídeos...
Thanks!
He has the coolest workshop and tools I’ve seen on KZhead
Thanks!
Hi Mr. Johnson, your work is really custom, and great, and you are using great tools, alas, we do not have access to these tools here. Congratulations to all of you who are both a master of the work and have a great tool, I love carpentry, especially carpentry in your style, glad to have subscribed to your channel, good luck 👍👍😍🌹
davood khalilzadeh [ moblirankar ] sofa Thank you very much! I appreciate the subscribe and your kind words. Best of luck to you 🙏🏻👍🏻
Been a big fan of your IG for a while, I’m glad to see you on KZhead
Thanks so much, Jake! I appreciate you following me over here, too!!
Thank you, brother, you are a teacher by nature.
So nice of you!
I bet this is how God makes things. My first time watching your videos and I'm in an awe. Pure art. 👌
Thank you so much 😀
I have absolutely no intention in making this build but your video was done well enough that I watched the entire thing start to finish! I hope you don't take another two years to post another!
Mech Master Wow! That’s very kind! Thanks so much! And there’s another build in production edit right now! 👍🏻
Hey Keith I just started watching your channel and let me tell you.. You have awesome skills and excellent camera presence. Love your design style as well! Keep it up man!
Wow, thanks Chris!! Super appreciate the feedback and your kind words!! 🙏 👊
как приятно работать с таким количеством хороших станков и инструментов ..))
🙏👍😎
Un saluto dall Italia 🇮🇹 ...e complimenti per la tua attrezzatura e bravura
Thank you! 🙏👍
Wow.. this is like the most number of “Exotic” tools if have ever seen to make a pair of side tables. You have a tool, clamp, etc.. for literally every step of the build, 🤯
What can I say...I love tools!
It's off putting. "Oh look, I just need $15,000 worth of tools and I'm only 2 minutes in" It's fine for entertainment purposes, it can be enjoyable to watch a pro do their thing, it's the reason things like pro sports exist. But outside of entertainment value, this is useless to anyone who's not a professional.
@@phil2782 the design of the piece is pretty basic so it can all be accomplished with basic tools with some resourcefulness.
Nice work on those side tables. It seem like you went to woodpecker and added the whole store to cart lol. Great video on explaining all steps.
Obviously Keith is not one of your run of the mill hobby woodworkers. 😄
Beautiful, so talented
Thanks Alan!!
Самый чёткий и педанчичный столяр что я когда либо видел!!! Мечтаю иметь такое же оборудование и приспособы для работы с деревом, а также быть таким крутым столяром. С меня like и подписка!!! Very good working!!! Minsk, Belarus.
Thank you very much! 🙏🏻🙌🏻
insane storage of worktools!
👍🏻😁
Awesome & good humour voicover too! Greeting from Hungary :)
Kornél Pataki Greetings!! 👋🏻 Thanks so much for the kind words - I appreciate it!
Nice job bud!
Jonathan Katz-Moses Thanks JKatz!! 👊🏻😎
Wow these are beautiful, modern tools make these furniture pieces. I wish I had the time and space to be able to have all these tools and to figure out how to use them.
Thank you very much!
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking this kind of of really simple but practical design I can see it being easy to add veneer or a bit of angled trim around the doors etc. 👍🏼
Those tables end up being so beautiful, its worth getting a near fatal case of tool envy watching this video.
😜 I greatly appreciate you putting your life in danger to watch! I much happier that you made it out alive on the other side 😉👊
We need more content! Not only on IG. Regards from germany
Thank you sir!! I have more content in the works....thanks for watching!!
I second the motion
John Aye aye, sir. I’m on it. 😎👍🏻
I third the motion!
Dan Barillaro Oh man, now I’m really backed into a corner 😂
Thanks for the shout out!
Jonathan Katz-Moses You bet!! Love that stop block! 🛑
So much woodpecker! Woodpecker as far as the eye can see!
And that's just how I like it!! 😜 😂
Dude you are my hero! amazing work. that router table is badass.
Thanks dude! I appreciate it 🤘😎
Отлично !
Thank you! 🙏👍
So amazing, I just wish I could have all those tools hahaha it seems impossible for a regular person to follow this video!!! BUT the job is AMAZING
I’ll admit there’s a lot of superfluous tools in this vid 😂, but this piece can be made with basic tools and creativity as well. Thanks for watching and the kind words!! 👍🏻
I thought so as well, this is beyond me with the lack of tools.... the build was great though
These are very sharp! Ignore the people complaining about your tools. You don't have to buy them all at once, rather work hard and slowly acquire new and better equipment.
Thanks Jacob! I appreciate the support! 👊
Amazing work
Thanks a lot 😊
Good day Keith. Is that your hobby or your income source? What a precision work Keith,a good carpenter can materialised his vision. Keep it up.
Just a hobby! Thanks so much for your kind words!
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking expensive hobby :D wish I had this equipment.
@@tomverleysen5639 I've actually spent 25 years investing in my shop setup - it didn't happen overnight. There are actually many videos on YT that show how to setup shop on a very modest budget. Definitely worth looking into.
You got me at the “maybe subscribe ah mhmmm ahhh??” Hahaha love your work, subscribed!
Right on!! Glad to hear my Judge Smails impersonation tipped the scales for you! 😜👊🏻
I love the red devices you use with the linear jig for the saw.
Thanks! You can check them out here: www.woodpeck.com/parallel-guide-system.html?rfsn=5849653.fdfd0da
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking thank you so much 👍👍👍
Precise craftsmanship, obtuse commentary… Does anyone else see the irony? (Another great video from my new favorite channel… Great build!)
😜 Thanks Ralph!! Super appreciate the kind works and the ironic tie-in! 😂
Dude I love your voiceover! I’m ashamed to say, I didn’t even know you had a YT channel -___-
Bevelish Creations Thanks Alex!! 🙌🏻 And I’m way more embarrassed that posted a video in 2 years. 😆
"Seasonal wood movement" - does it happen to hardwood and small sizes as well?
The smaller the piece, the less movement you will have. But yes, all woods will expand and contract whether hard or soft. The amount they move is species specific and based on environmental conditions.
first minute i hesitated to extend my time to stay on your video , but its just a eye treat , a smile on my face , i am happy to see you shared the plan for making. love from india
So nice of you! Thanks for watching! 🙏
What an awesome hold of tools!!!! What a precision! What an explanation! What a work!!😍😍😍the best!
Thank you so much 😀
He’s crazy, his phone wasn’t even hooked up. He just liked ringing the bell.
Brian Prusa I told you to clean out this garage...I have to put my car in!
talk about long advertisements ... this is a 15 minute Ad
Thanks for watching!!
best Ad in years... i watched all of it :D
Love the "doublement gum ref" and the two Jerry's. Lol. A little techy with the tools, but your videos are so entertaining - love the voice-overs.
Cool, thanks a lot!! And I'll be trying to dial down the tech for future videos 👍
Keith thanks for the video. Absolutely love the dry humor narration, please never stop!!!. Very entertaining as well as instructional!!
Thanks dude! Super appreciate it! 👊🏻
Mmmmm again a marketing/advertorial woodworking channel. Have to pass on this one.
Thanks for stopping by! Just so I’m clear...I can’t use the tools in my videos that I’ve paid for?
Keith Johnson Custom Woodworking you can do and use anything you want. Paid or not paid for. It’s a free world (at least the part we live in). But for me its looks to much an advertorial channel for woodpecker and others.
I can see that, but those are the majority of tools I own so there’s really no way around it. I appreciate the feedback. 👍🏻
I'm jealous too but can appreciate the enthusiasm and skill level. I DO NOT want to sound like another one of his entry level admirers praising how "amazing" he is but, I'll reluctantly give credit where credit is due. He's got cats. I have cats. I F'n love cats. Almost as much as I love woodworking, so this dude is kinda my new hero. So much for that reluctancy.
Sos genio con la carpintería esa prensa me quedé loco con toda hermientas
Thank you! 👍😀
Great project Keith... I'm picking up a ton of great tips from this video, Thanks!
Wow! Thanks Jon! Super appreciate that.
Love the “twins” joke. Double double !
😜😂
Best voiceover in woodworking
You rock Ben!!! Thank you so much for that. 🙏🏻👊🏻
I know this is an old video so I hope you see this comment but we need a current shop tour! I’m gonna keep watching your old videos until then lol
Maybe one day! Still got some more shop organization to do 😜
First video I’ve ever seen of Keith’s and I’m already convinced to subscribe. Absolutely beautiful woodworking.
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏻😁
Love it Keith! Thanks for using Rubio!
Rubio Monocoat USA Right on! Rubio gave me the perfect look and feel on these pieces. 👌🏻
My favorite videos are the one that you narrate. Sweet wood working.
Thanks Bob! I really appreciate it!
Came for the woodworking, stayed for the commentary. A+
LOL! I appreciate that very much!
That is craftsmanship!
Much appreciated! Thank you 🙏🏻👍🏻
@ 13:00 "unfortunately the veneers (Dutch word coming from "vaneer"- meaning, literally, "fans", because the Dutch were the inventors of marquetry work- the art of working with veneers) were much redder". Of course they are. The treatment they go through makes them always "pinkier". So yes, you absolutely have to adjust colours. The choice of a greenish ue was the right one. There are two colour families: red, and green. To counterbalance one, you use the other. Nice, clean work , so thumbs up. Signed by an old European cabinet maker.

Thank you sir!! Color theory comes in handy in woodworking, too!!
@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking My pleasure. Thank you for your reply. Wood is such a beautiful and rich material to work with. The possibilities are endless. Best regards from France.
Love your sense of humor! If we were neighbors we would totally be besties. Great build.
Thanks so much!! Always nice to find like-minded humorists.
Me gusta su trabajo, también soy carpintero 👍🏼
🙏 👍 😎
wow man , i love hand working , that's art .
Thanks 👍
Man!!! I considered myself a good woodworker, but after all the mind boggling perfection, you make me reconsider my trade. I think selling window covering might be best for me. You just made me look like an amateur
Too kind! Thanks very much. And we all have room for improvement no matter what our skill level. There is always something to learn, so keep crackin' at it. I try and learn something new on every project. 👍
You have the fanciest tools for a home wood shop that I've seen on KZhead. But better than that, your commentary makes watching the videos much more enjoyable than the dryer commentary of a lot of the other channels. Subscribed!
Wow, thanks Adam!! I appreciate the kind words and the sub! 🙏👊
Amazing, Keith. Stills, magazine article and video...all superbly done and all while building an exquisite piece, er, uh, exquisite pieces. I salute you, my friend.
Thank you so much, Jeff! That means a lot. And thanks so much for all your help with the article - it was a pleasure working with you on that project.
Gracias por enseñarnos a aprender y regalarnos de su valioso tiempo maestro Johnson de Aguascalientes México Francisco gamez 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀 es usted genial bendiciones para usted y toda su familia un abrazo muy fuerte y saludos cordiales felicidades

So much red and awesome. Great job, Keith.
Mortgage & Mitre Thanks bro! Yeah, lots and lots of red 😆
The only thing I have ever built is my Ikea office chair, but I love your IG account and now I am really excited to see your videos here on YT. Thank you for sharing your talent and humour!
Raul Suhett de Morais Too kind! Thanks so much for watching and following along. And I’ve put together plenty of those IKEA projects together over the years, too. Probably too many 😂
I loved the detailing in your work. Precision work.
