Bespoke Industrial Coffee Table - Forme Industrious @ScottTurnerformeindustrious

Uploaded July 2018 | Updated September 2026, 4 hours ago

What can I say...I like making coffee tables :)
Steel is 5mm thick, end straps 3mm. Table top is 40 mm Maple finished with Danish Oil. At the time of the video I applied 5 coats of oil with about 8 hours drying between coats. I would like to apply more in the coming days to get the sheen up a bit more. The maple has beautiful curls in the grain. The steel is finished in Gloss Acrylic.

Many thanks to my Patreon Supporters whom provide wonderful support allowing me to design and make these creations which I share with you all.

$Can you Improve a cheap Mitre Saw?? - Is it worth it? - Forme Industrious A Sliding Compound Mitre saw is a very useful tool to have, whether you are a DIY weekender or a professional wood worker. There are so many on the market these days, and they all do the job but in my opinion, with greatly varied results. I have a saw that is 8 years old as of 2021. Its one of the cheaper brands and in this video I explore options to overcome some of the saws deficiencies. In the end I encountered multiple major problems. One of the issues is the Arbor float or play. This has been with the saw since I have had it and I have always wanted to fix it if possible. Yes the saw is in poor condition. The rust came very fast in fact, even when stored in my shed. I have the benefit of using some high end tools at Studio Dubbeld. A high end quality cabinet making and wood working school/business. In using their saw I quickly noticed how nice the saw works and how accurate it is, and it is not new, being 14 years old and used daily. Note 1; it is not my plan to throw mud at the cheaper saws, rather highlight the issues I have found since trying to up my woodworking game. The cheaper saws on many accounts are fantastic for their target buyers being DIY enthusiasts. They often do a lot of what the expensive brands do at a fraction of the cost, however with less accuracy and durability in my opinion. Note 2: I do not recommend trying to fix Arbor Float in the manner in which I depicted. Reason: you do not know what problems are behind the housing, for example, worn bearings/ housings. Cracks etc. Treat my video as a lessons learned on this manner.
