Snooker Cue Legged Mid Century Style Coffee Table

I mentioned in my last vlog video that I had an unusual find recently, 16 snooker cues, which I found leaning against a wall behind a bin.  
People who've been watching my channel for a while will know that I predominantly like to use salvaged materials in my projects, so I gave some thought to what I could use these for and the first idea I had was using them to make some tapered legs for a coffee table.
First I wanted to make a top for t

Repair and Veneer - Mid Century Coffee Table Makeover

In this video I'm going to give a complete makeover to this midcentury style coffee table which I picked up recently at a local house clearance for just £5.
The table has some serious problems at the moment - as you can see there's lots of wobble to the table and not all of the feet reach the floor - there's actually a 20mm gap here - and that is because the top is extremely warped and twisted as you can see from this shot.

How To Package & Send Large Parcels - UK & International

In this video I'm going to talk about how I package and send large items within the UK and internationally too.  I know that sounds really boring, but I do this quite often so I've got some good tips which I think are worth sharing, and I've seen a few people asking about this in woodworking groups and forums.
 
I've just finished making this large oak dog bed, I've already posted a video about how I made it which I'll include a link to in the description box below.  It's pretty big, 1m by 60cm and 50cm high and it's pretty heavy at around 19kg.  I

Making A Herringbone Beech & Mahogany Side Table

 
In this video I made a mahogany and beech herringbone design side table with a pedestal base.  The sort of table you'd perch a drink on beside your sofa!
I started by cutting all the mahogany pieces to a consistent length at the mitre saw, and then I ripped them all to a consistent width at the tablesaw.  I figured I could use these to form a herringbone pattern, but the problem was that I didn't really have much material to work with.  
I had some 25mm square strips of beech and I thought this would look nice alongside the mahogany
