The other weekend, I was filling my face with the best comfort food around and binging hours of YouTube videos when I came across this wild build by the Slovenian Woodworker. I took one look at his innovative “floating” coffee table and realized I needed to make my own floating cave table build. For my coffee table, I wanted to make it look like a cave. This meant I had to do a ton of gluing and cutting to achieve my vision.
So follow me as I take on one of my craziest challenges yet! If you’re following along at home or want to try it out for yourself, be sure to take a look at my video below.
I started my build off by cutting a bunch of strips from large slabs of wood. Next, I cut the strips into 18-inch parts so I could fit them inside my 20-inch wide planer. A few mistakes happened along the way, but that didn’t stop me from pulling off this crazy build. After gluing the strips together, I began to make the cutting boards. For the final steps, I needed to carefully assemble all of the pieces together.
Overall, this was a fun and challenging build that I can’t wait for you guys to watch.
