Wow! That is a beautiful table. And I love the lessons learned at the end! That tidbit about the sander is right on - I accidentally scarred an edge once with mine. Great work!
Nice video, but I have read and seen when gluing the table top, the clamps are supposed to alternate between over and under the wood parts. Also, I have read and seen that when arranging the table top, to make sure that the grains alternate between them, because it would avoid swelling of the wood. (Not sure if done that wa or not in your video). But for clarity, I am not a wood worker. I am just interested in the craft.
Sorry, no. This was a one off build and I didn't make any plans. If you send me your email I can send you some rough dimensions though. My email is in the contact area on the RU-vid channel page.
Don't know if you will ever see this but I like this table. But I need to know if you would like to share the cut list for this because I want build one for my very first home . Thank you
Have a question. *NOT* a criticism. Just curious. You fasterend the top to the apron and legs with pocket hole screws. They won't allow for any wood movement of the top if humidity changes. Do you think this might be a problem down the road? I'm definitely not an expert on this stuff but am considering a build like yours and wondered about htis issue. Any thoughts?
@Steve Seale that's a great point, thanks for asking. I live in an area that does not get significant humidity swings. I thought about using the typical table top hardware, but thought I would try this technique and see how it held up. So far no problems. Thanks for watching!
Nice man! I just used your video to make my own. I'm stuck at the washers for attaching the top. I didn't find the screws you used so mine stick up so I'd need a hole on the bottom of the top for that to work. Do u remember the name of the screws you used? And I need better bits to drill through these washers!
I actually just used pocket holes and screws to attach the top to the base. I don't remember exactly which length screw I used. I just made sure it would work before sending it. I do want to try those figure 8 washers to attach my next top though, they seem like they would work well. Thanks for watching, glad it helped inspire you!
Thanks for the nice words. Do you mean the nominal size of lumber used or the dimensions of the table? I can measure something for you if you have a specific question. Thanks for watching.
Awesome job! My wife had pinterested something exactly like this. She saw this video with me and now wants me to do it for her. Have you ever thought about creating plans, cut measurements etc.? Really awesome job sir!
@Juan Thmoas Thanks for the kind words. I have thought about making plans and cut lists for future project but I just don't have the time at the moment. Maybe some day in the future. Thanks for watching and good luck with your version of the project!
