Nadia Karpov aaah i see. Well, I learned a lot from your video and used it as a guide for my own project making this lamp m.imgur.com/gallery/QGGFnQN so your inspiration travels far my friend
@@ChristianKanzieNilsson Hi. Nice lamp, but I do believe you've lost the beauty of the original weathered beams that have almost driftwood effect about them. You know, it's relatively easy to make the effect you created using brand new wood (as Nadia demonstrated), but pretty hard to achieve this driftwood effect. So why eliminating what you had naturally? I personally would prefer much better using the beams as they were (plus cleaning and probably lightly coating for wood preservation). Insted you got this standard "rustic" look. But hey, if you like it - fine, I just couldnt help ranting as I do like this very driftwood effect. Have a nice day and more great projects!
@@vsemprivet to wash his own right :) I couldn’t be happier, it exaggerated the natural wood just the way I wanted it to and it’s been a year or more and every morning I see it and think “nailed it” 😬
Funny, I used early american and will add dark walnut on top but can't find a video that gives it that real uneven rustic, not so dark finish that's more natural yet weathered (and not washed)...but good job on this one!
Dear god. The idea behind re-using wood isnt just decorative. Look on craigs list for free scrap wood or pallets. Recycle them. Will your next video be about how to fake like you bought your food from a sustainable source?
if you want more trees, buy more wood. the more wood that gets sold the more trees get planted. stop crying, theres more trees now than there ever was.
Michael P. Smith Hi! Thanks for the comment! We used sandpaper #80 on the belt sander Here is the link to the article (and it also contains materials we used, so coarse sandpaper is #80, and fine is #120) : www.dodesignyourself.com/barndoor/
Looks like you could also stain the entire thing with the darker stain. Then sand the top and restain with the lighter stain and it would turn out good also if not better
Hey dumbass! Have 35yrs of creative woodworking and high end cabinetry even in yachts, this guy did a great job and it didn't look manmade when done. Doubt you're even still around to troll to make a comment or reply again. Two parts to this. Doesn't matter. Well done and the mouthy hack can get back to his game.
@@inventorcreator7267 hey oh I’m here guess what I been doing it for 25 years. I didn’t say it wasn’t a good job . I was just trying let him know. But u out of all people in wood work should know to line ur grains up. Bye now
Nice project however your video editing is garbage, you post this to show a how to yet you speed it up and edit to black and white to distort what your doing. Typical RU-vid douche trying to get ads and make money not teach a thing
Awesome for pine wood ... i really love this video i already pretty much knew how to do it but i love the other details u have done ..you really made it look nice .i know what i want to do with some of my wood shelves .. hey was wondering can you do another video with like a white wash and age it same way and clear coated ? that would be really cool as well ..thanks so much for posting .:) and to the thumbs down this was by far an awesome video if you have nothing nice to say about it then lets see your work !!
Thank you very much. I'm starting a 1942 vintage truck tailgate bench tomorrow and now I don't have to visit the local distributor of old barn wood and posts. Thank you again, your project looks great!
