I'll even provide a video review... You betcha, with a fashionable tie and blue shirt. ;-)
Great looking coffee table. I would love to build one.
Just as long as you don't wear the tie when you run the table saw. Har.
This looks like a good watch!
Yes Please! Count me in!
An A&C coffee table, and a pair of end tables, is my next project. I like the design of this, but might want to do thinner vertical slats on the ends to match some other furniture I have already.
This would be very useful. Thanks for all of the great content on the site.
I'd like to build one, too. I do have some white oak, though its not quarter-swan. We'll see . . .
This a really great project. Greg always teaches and explains his techniques like a real pro.
I love the Arts & Crafts movement. Simple yet elegant
Three daughters and three requests for coffee tables, amazing how they all like Arts and Craft as much as I do!
My guilty pleasure. Watching others do the work.
i would lie to learn more about the arts and crafts movement

Well that coffee table I bought at Bob's Discount two years ago is really showing it's value... I could use a little help here.
Thanks!
Arts & Crafts furniture has always been at the top of my list.
Paolini does a nice job in this video series. I really like the techniques for breadboard ends. Also, his use of a hand square chisel punch was a nice technique.
Cool
I'd love to have this DVD. Count me in!

Greg You're The Man!!!!!!!
Beautiful table!
I'd Love to have a dvd on building this table, it'll come in handy as my wife is looking for me to build her some living room furniture to replace the old worn out store bought stuff we are currently using.
I'm in.....
I would be interested in viewing the video to repurpose and redesign into a sofa table. Not many people use coffee tables today. But it strikes me this design could convert into a great sofa table!
. . . or hall table!
This would be great, I will put my necktie on and start up the power equipment. actually I would like more how to info. You cant go wrong with great instruction. Perhaps a little safty would be nice to

I'd look forward to reviewing it.
I can just see that coffee table between me and the TV -- and I'd do at least one more as a gift. What a great prize!!
Lately, I've just started looking for some options to design a coffee table and a pair of end tables for our sofa. This would be really nice to have.
I have started out in woodworking a few months ago with a collection of hand tools. After watching Mr. Paolini's video series, I have fallen in love with the arts and crafts movement! He has inspired me to buy my first jointer and planer this month to really dive into the world of furniture building! I hope gain the skills he has learned over the years and make just as quility furniture!
Can't wait to see his next project!!!
This was a great series, and I'd love to have it on DVD.
Looks like a nice video.
I'd enjoy seeing it.
Looks like a great video. I hope he covers fuming as one of the finishing options.
Greg always gives us good direction and technique. Certain to be a ood video class.
I thought this series had some really good techniques & I love the look of the table. I would love to have this on DVD so I could really study it & make it.
Here is my comment.......pick me! pick me!

Yooooooooooo!
Ohh! OOhhh! pick me, pick meeeee!!

Hi:
I have seen the finished table in Grogery's shop and it is beautiful. Now I need the DVD and plans so I can build one to go with my building of his Morris chair.
I would think it is my turn to win.
Thank You
I would really like to give this table a 5 star rating. So if I won, I could review the DVD and give it 5 stars.
Hi, I am in.
I want this...
Enjoy arts and crafts. Delighted to make a coffee table.
I've got my fingers crossed.
Arts and crafts furniture is my favorite. Would love to build this table with the help of the dvd video, never had one as a guide
I really enjoy Paolini's furniture and instruction, thanks for posting his stuff, and please post more! I've watched the videos for this table on FWW.com, but it would be great to have the full instruction and plans. I did just buy the plans for the bow arm Morris chair he did videos for, and I'm really looking forward to building it. If I only had the time... I think I'm going to have to quit my job so I can spend more time in my shop!
It's neat to think of Arts & Crafts over 100 years old, but as timely as it ever was. A classic in every sense. Looks like a good video.
Nice table.
This would be great! Greg did a nice job in the video series!
Throw my hat in the ring also.
Intend to make a coffee table this project look great and would like to build one
I've always liked this table and it would be fun to build.
This video series has so many useful tips and techniques as seen in the weekly newsletter videos. This is one DVD worth owning and definitely a valuable resource!
My 15 year old son had shown no interest in woodwork until seeing articles on the Arts and Craft Table and now all he wants to do is build it for his woodwork class major project.
Looks like a great project to make for my daughter.
Looking forward to viewing this DVD
The Fine Woodworking Magazine articles and online projects are excellent. I enjoy reading and watching them and find them filled with tricks and tips that are useful for the shop.
Yes please :-)
My Father and Son really enjoy the information provided on your web site. My father does not have internet in the North of Ontario and my son likes the info that I send to him. Thank you. Kim
Definitely count me in!
A perfect table for my living room. I love this style of furniture.
Greg always does great work and his videos are awesome.
This looks like a great DVD to have and great project to build. The coffee table is not only attractive but should survive the grandchildren and their children.
I recently built a similar table and used this video for guidance. The tips and tricks are priceless. Every woodworker should view this gem.
I've just about got the kitchen done so this would be a good start on the next project.
This would make a wonderful addition to my woodworking library.
Yes, Yes, Yes - me too !!!
My wife might even enjoy me having this video due to the potential result ;-)
This project looks like fun. My nephew can use a coffee table. This would make a good college graduation gift.
This looks like an excellent DVD for my library
Did someone say woodworking?
It's high time I replaced our dated coffee table and learned some useful skills in the process!
Why can I not post under my own name? Why does it always go up under Kwerkusalba instead of [email protected]?
Aperfect wedding gift for my Grandaughter. I would love the DVD.
I have some beautiful wide Hickory that I would love to make this Coffee table with it!!
Matching Sofa/hall table?
I'm In.
I love this style of furniture and have already completed a few projects. Also, this looks like a great DVD to have and the coffee table perfect for my living room. Definitely count me in!
My brother-in-law has been asking for a table made in the Arts ans Craft style, a DVD would make the planning process a lot easier.
Love the magazine and the website.
Cheers
Looks interesting. Count me in.
WOW! I like it!
Would love to give this DVD a watch.
I love Gregory's work and I would truely enjoy this video.
Count me in! Thanks.
Please put my name in the hat as I would like to have a copy of the video. That's a great looking coffee table, too.
Would love to watch this DVD.
FWW articles, videos, and DVDs are the best available, and I suspect that this one will be exceptional as well.
Would love to see this video. We have been contemplation getting a new table for the living room and/or the deck!!
I'm a new woodworker (recently retired), and I'm rather new at using on-line reference materials. I've been following Gregory Paolini's work for a couple of months. However, my system is painfully slow; thus, a DVD will remove the pain and will put all the relevant info in one place. "Heaven on Earth" ?
Great project!!!! Would love to have the DVD in my collection!!!
Such a DVD would be well used in any workshop. I am returning to woodworking after 20 years away. This DVD would be a great addition to my woodworking library.

PAlease add my name to the list. I like free stuff.
I'm all in!! exactly what i am looking for :)
I would love to win this it would be worn out in very short order LOL. please add my name in the drawing.
I assume this will be how to produce a one-off table vs. creation of numerous special jigs that would be more relevant for a production environment.
It is actually something I want to build for my home.. though I think I am leaning towards maple.. My new favorite wood..

Arts and Crafts is supposed to be Oak isnt it? gerneally speaking anyway.
Count me in
Please add me to the list
Would love this DVD seeing it done makes learning easier .
Well executed design, looking forward to building a similar one.

Wow. I just purchased a bunch of beautiful quarter sawn white oak and I've been trying to decide which project to build .... hmmmm this looks like a real good choice.
I love anything Arts and Crafts Style. This DVD would be perfect for my husband and me to learn woodworking together. I'm a hands on type learner so the DVD would be great so that I make sure we would do everything correctly. Plus, my husband desperately needs a hobby because he gets bored so easily.......please help me!!
This should be an excellent project. I have yet to make an Arts and Crafts large project, but this might be it.
Sounds like a great dvd
This would be a great addition to our home. I am replacing our store bought furniture with home made pieces in a similar style. I've found that adding a little walnut in with the oak is distinctive and pleasing.
Sign me up, please
Perfect timing, I am in the process of making A&C end tables. When they are done I will need a coffee table. Count me in please.
Sign me up to win this. Looks like a wonderful collection of information.
Great design. Overcome the mini-work bench problem.
Pick me!
I made one some years ago based on the design of an old one. This looks like a much better design. I would be happy to try this one out.
I really like the looks of this table. I am a fan of Arts and Craft, and have a beautiful 100-year old buffet to prove it.
Good luck with this teaching tool!

I'm thinking about building one for my new Craftmans house
it sure would come in handy. By the way keep up the out
standing work with your magazine!
I recently completed the Morris Chair from Gregory Paolini's video series. I'm looking forward to making this table.
I love Arts & Crafts. Sure would like to win!
Love arts and craft style! Greg does nice work.Would to view the DVD. Thanks for the chance.
I think this would be great. I
just finishing a a&c dresser really like to have this dvd!
Three reasons why I should build this (in order):
1. prove to my wife once and for all ....
2. I already have quarter-saw white oak
3. we really do need a coffee table
Looks like an adaptable plan: Shorten the width to make a side table, increase height for a telephone table, etc. Nifty.
My wife says, "Either win it or buy it 'cause I want that table!"
How come I'm not recognized as woodguy43 and who is Kwerkusalba anyway???
I have always wanted to make some Arts and Crafts furniture, this table will surele be the first!!
I have a log cabin that needs furniture. I plan on making as much of the furniture as I can. The Arts and Crafts style suits my cabin perfectly. My plan was to start on a coffee table first and I plan to start in a few months.
I took a course from Greg this summer. A great time. He is a good instructor. Would love to have this video to add to my knowledge base.
My wife just had a house built and wants to fill it full of furniture so this DVD would allow me to show her what real furniture looks like instead of the store bought stuff.
I've built many of the Arts and Crafts projects from the magazine but not a coffee table - and this one looks super. Thanks for the opportunity to win the DVD - I could be the new FW Aussie Correspondent completing my first review for the mag. Next challenge for this woodworking woman will be sourcing the quarter sawn oak...
Recently retired looking for projects.
John
My wife is into crafts and she would love this table!
Just what we need in the new house.
I would like to give an Arts and Crafts project a try. I love the style.
Arts and Crafts!
Count me in - Thank You!
I'm in - Thank You!
I enjoyed watching Greg make his Arts and Crafts Coffee Table. He had a lot of good techniques on how to produce the table with some extra tricks and humor added in. He showed different ways to get the same result, which could be helpful depending on what tools you have. And I really liked his method to finish white oak. I’ll have to try that on my next white oak project.
Thanks!
Tim
I'd like to have a go at building this table.
Gregory is the Arts & Crafts guru. That comment alone ought to get me a copy of this DVD, HA! HA!
