will gluing every side of the joint cause any expansion issues? Curious if any twisting or warping happens since this will be outdoors and exposed to the elements. Unless the table is small enough to not be enough movement to matter?
Thank you, we have learned a lot from you...we can feel your passion in explain your content about CNC router project in detail..Great job!! ☺🧡
The castle joints are perfect for this table. Well done and well instructed for we weekend sawdust makers. Thanks!!
Many thanks!
Nice ! That's the best explanation of a "castle joint" I've seen. That Cedar looks really good with the chunky design.
That's awesome. 😃 Nothing but the best coming from you.👌
Thank you so much!
Very nice. The joinery is something that only other woodworkers will fully appreciate and I'm sure we all do. Great job.
What a great build video. Thoughtfully presented, nicely explained, well shot and edited. Really great.
Turned out great! Clearly explained.
That turned out awesome Marie! 👌 That’s a strong joint for sure! Thank you for sharing!
Excellent!
Now I want to make one!
Nice table
Nice work on the outdoor coffee table Marie! Thanks for sharing the video with us!💖👌👍😎JP
your work is top notch, You and Tamar are my favorite youtube woodworkers.
That turned out awesome Marie! Have a great day...
Thank you, same to you!
I’m so happy and relieved you’re showing the castle joint on the table saw only! As a matter of fact I’d love to see plenty more joints from the table saw if you’re willing to demonstrate?! No shame in that whatsoever, I like chisels etc. but like you I’d rather have a more easy and consistent method to utilize over hand cutting each and every joint.
That's a really nice looking join, nice table
Very nicely done! Easy to follow video and explanations as you guide us through the build.
Beautiful to watch in every possible way
Thanks, appreciate it!
I saw this at the store cost a hit start searching I must say you did it perfectly just I don’t have the power tools only got circular saw but I shall try it one day
Beautiful work ... as usual.
Thank you kindly 😊
Glad I got my cedar 2 yrs ago :)
Looks great, Marie. Now you need to make a 6-sided table (lol). It's good to see one of your videos again. Take care. Bill
Lol, will get to work on that 😉
Good job nice explanation thank you for sharing these castle top joinery good job by for now I look forward to hear from you God-bless
That castle joint came out great. Easy tutorial 👍😁
Great video!!! Thanks!
You're very talented. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Nice job, you always make it look easy
GREAT project, all the effort was well worth it, those joints really highlight the table! !! !!!
Nicely Done Marie!! Easy, Peasy? Right?,,lol
Beautiful table 👍
Love the saw dust trick! Really finishes things off nicely.
Very elegant joints Marie! I too will put it on my "I want to try it" list. Thank you for sharing.
Love the table and the beautifully clear explanation of how you made it. Happy new(ish) year from Wales. 🏴
Really nice..I’ll be building this for my patio.👍
That is very good work. I like it
Awesome ..... l like the square edge to and hitting the edges sanding pad is a nice finish.... Thanks for the video
awesome design!
This table is exactly what I want for my back deck. I might make two of them, just not in 40°C weather.
My favorite Espresso wood table 😀. Amazing project.
Thanks!
Beautiful joinery. 😎
😊👍
Thank you for a clear and informative video. I'll purchase the plans to support your channel. BTW, you are...gorgeous.
Thanks, appreciate your support!
What a beautiful table!!! I’ve been wanting to try my hand at castle joints and am in the process of putting together a counter for the front desk at my business and this is the PERFECT design! Thank you for your inspiration!
This is awesome! I now know what I am going to do with the 4-4x4x10' cedar posts I have been holding onto for years now.
Indeed, knowledge is the greatest power.Thanks, very enjoyable, always
Definitely A great summer gift ❤
I like the way you EXPLAIN.
Nice work
Great looking joinery, maybe I'll try this for an outdoor table!
Awesome- got to try this. Thanks!
now my goal in life is to be able to craft something like this :) great job
absolutely perfect video on how to do castle joints. I have been making cutting boards for years but always wanted to learn how to make furniture but the joinery has always deterred me. over the last two or three months I've gotten serious about it. Couple times a week I would look at a video on basic joinery, hoping it would grab me, but I could never find one that inspired me, or seem to be doable to me for my first table base until I saw this one. Early last night, I went for it. Following this video step-by-step, which was very easy to do, but you get to the important points right away. There's not a bunch a jib jab about stuff that has nothing to do with the project. It's just precise and to the point and wanted. My table base came out absolutely perfect. And I am now hooked on making furniture. Thanks to you and this video. Well, I should say the second table base came out perfect. The first leg I made on the first base I hugged out all the material and moved onto the second leg and the third leg and the fourth leg just going off my marks. Obviously, I paused your video and missed the part that makes total sense about the importance of not moving the fence..ooops. Needless to say everything was off just a little bit, but the second go I watch the entire video from start to finish and then went back and follow the steps and I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you very much.
Another great and instructive video.
That would make a useful potting bench as well for the gardener in the house.
Very satisfying
you made that look easy. Now I must try. thanks.
Great job! Love the castle joint!
THANK YOU!
- A W E S O M E ! ! ! Beautifully done joints. Of course, mine never turn out quite that near perfect but feels "do-able." Thanx 4 the video.
Great video, DIYM! How about a video building your tenon jig? Thanks !

wow,,, im still very new to table saw,,, and yes with my newly and first play accendent i am very scrayed
Hey there! I came here from /r/woodworking. What a great video and great build. Castle joints just have a certain amount of majesty to them, and to show them off here is excellent. I love finding new woodworking KZheadrs i can learn from; I just subscribed and will be sure to check out the back catalog!
Great job on the castle joints! I recently made a bed using them and the tips you provided here will definitely be helpful for my next project using them.
Fantastic work, Marie! Really well done! 😃 I'm thinking about making a wooden support for my mother's compost exactly like that. 😃 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
I like this technique thank you
Great job, looks really nice when done. Going to have to build it this winter. Great tutorial on how to make castle joints easy. Thank's.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful table, Marie, and a great video on how to make a castle joint. Yours will now be one of the handful of videos that come up when you search for "castle joint". I love the look of the joint as well as it's inherent strength. I plan on using castle joints for my workbench, if I ever get around to making it.
I've been watching your channel from the beginning. You've come a long way! Very nice build, amazing joinery!
nice joint
Very nice!
New Subscriber. I appreciate the simplicity of your approach to sharing your wood craft. I’ve become a fan. Thank you
Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to provide this video. You are an inspiration. Clear instructions, and great result. I'm definitely going to try my hand at this.
Great, I will try.
Awesome job. looks like I will be building one, just hope it turns out as good as yours.
Very very nice. Good jobs 😀💪👍🤗🤗🤗
Much appreciated!
This is a great video. The table is attractive and your instruction is on point! I’ve watched a few of your videos and have been impressed by their craftsmanship. Good show! 👍🏼🌞
The table is awesome! You made it look so easy. I’m actually making a table now, but the top overhangs the base, but maybe I’ll try your table next time as i like the look of the castle joints. Good job!
it is easy with a correctly set up table saw with all the sliding module (and the planner and probably the miter saw that are "just" quietly mentionned)
Looks awesome ! very well done !
Thank you!
Looks fantastic you inspire me! 😊
Thanks, appreciate it!
Nice.
What a fantastically complicated and we'll executed build.. I have been watching your excellent channel from the very early days... You have grown into an accomplished wordworker/designer... Well done Marie
Way to go man, this looks good.
Marie thank you for sharing this project. I'm about to build a bed frame for my son and was looking at some clever joints :) Btw shiro = castle in japanese. 🥰
