Beginner: planer, jointer, table saw, jig saw, miter saw, bar clamps... When I was a beginner I had a skill saw, drill and hammer. I don't think people know what beginner means sometimes.
I am a beginner . I don’t have a planer or a joiner. I have a cheap tracksaw , drill and jigsaw . A couple small clamps from Amazon and safety glasses .
the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. ru-vid.comUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
@@hvwoodcreations6278 pallet wood is the new toilet paper. ;) Cheap wood might be a little bit misleading... using wood the wrong way is more correct here. I would have used harder wood and standing annual rings for the table top.
Mate , a quick tip for beginners , ALWAYS alternate the boards / growth rings radius , it helps to prevent cupping . And time taken to ' joint ' the boards will give a better job . Nails .....hmmmm. A biscuit jointer for beginners is a good tool , or use dowels .
@@darrenpodger7294 Dowels and biscuits don't actually add any strength per se. The glue (even without dowels or biscuits) is so strongly bonded, that you could put a glued panel under a hydraulic press, the wood will literally split in half before the glued joint separates... because the fibres of the wood itself are actually weaker than the bond of the dried glue. As an example, from a channel dedicated to playing around with hydraulic presses... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8jESD2-lv-M.html The actual point of dowels/biscuits, is not to add strength, but to hold the panel fast while clamped until the glue has done it's job. Without dowels, biscuits (or in this case, headless nails)... one can very easily experience shifting as the glue sets, only resulting in more work needing to be done to re-level the piece. Personally, I found the use of nails here for beginners quite genius. It enables large projects on a very tight budget. Those who have the money for say, a festool domino tool, it will only make their lives easier due to not having to whack the pieces together, but for a beginner or those on a tight budget, this works absolutely
@@grahamb7947 I would not put dowels and biscuits in the same category when it comes to strength. I agree good wood glue is going to be adequate for strength. On a panel dowels do not add any strength, but on a small joint it does. Sorry, I don't find the nail idea of any us here. He should just glue it together and that be that. By the way you can get dowels and drill dowel holes pretty cheap.
It means do not glue and/or screw the aprons to the top in a way that doesn't allow for wood movement as doing so will eventually cause the joint to fail and it will crack. Instead don't glue at all and use a figure 8 or z-clip fastener to attach the top. These z-clips require grooves to be made in the aprons so that when the top expands or contracts, the fastener will move with the wood instead of forcing it to stay put (this is what causes it to crack). I'll find a video showing this.
This is a perfect example of just because you have expensive tools doesn't make you a better craftsman. This was hard to watch. If you have a jointer and a planer you should have been able to make that table top flat. That wood was gorgeous, DON'T STAIN IT!
I hate to be critical but as someone that would like to learn, I'm getting nothing from this video. Other than frustrated because there's no instructions
You might want to think about lowering the blade on your table saw when using the planer on a combination machine. That’s a good way to saw off your hand, or your helpers hand, or shoot a piece of material across the room or through a window.
The method you used for tenoning on the table saw was quite dangerous and is likely to lead to kick back. You should create a tennoning jig that holds the piece in place while vertically running through, otherwise a wobble at the other side of the blade will send it flying.
This is an outstanding INTERMEDIATE woodworkering project. Seriously! What beginner do you know knows the first thing about planing? Even by hand? What beginner do you know knows how to proper cut a mortise and tenon? These are are not beginner techniques and this project has to ve drastically changed to suit a novice woodworker. For example, the table top should be made out of a solid core door so that it is completely flat. The joining should either be butte joints or maybe half laps for the ambitious beginner. I usually despise this type of comment because it's on EVERY woodworking video ever, but it's definitely warranted here.
Uses expensive shop tools for cuts and joining that can be done without expensive shop tools then uses nails as dowels which are the absolute cheapest item for a beginner.
I don’t think when he said beginner that it was about his power tools it was about the simple design around making this desk… I have a lot of power tools and I just built a desk I still consider myself a beginner because I put all my tools away for a couple years and then drag them all out to try to do something again and have to remember the skills that it takes to do each one. I really enjoyed watching him make this since I’m still going through Nick‘s and cuts and slivers from my last project.
Yeah..beginner's could do that..!! Easy..just make sure you have All the tools you dont need the bandsaw... get a circular saw n a guide to keep your cut straight
Even taking a plank that is not square and true and getting it to an accurate piece of wood on which you can cut joints for perfect fits, is more difficuit than meets the eye.
I can see the joy on the buyer’s face at TK Maxx, thinking of the 500% mark up. Also, the grin on the face of the Romanian car washer when they export it to their brothers for resale in Chechnya.
wouldn't you want to joint a face flat then joint an edge parallel to the jointed face. then plain the board jointed side facing down and then rip to final width?
I found the translation of his title to english caused a grammatical error. The “beginner” was supposed to reference the skill level of this project, not his ability. Which makes sense if u watch some of his other vids. Dudes pretty good. A lil rough, but got some skill. Hope this helps.
Beginners? You have a planer and a jointer. DIYers who have woodworking experience don't even have those two tools, and this is titled for beginners? Whoa mind blown.
Remember some of us don't have all that fancy equipment especially beginners like me. So if you show us beginners using the basic tools safely i think you will nail it. Me i have jig saw,circular saw,router,dermal and a dril,impact set oh and clamps lol that's it. So I turn to the smallish stuff to learn and make money to buy the nicer things.
Why would you use nails and not dowels for top and also don’t glue top to the bottom that will expand and shrink and your have cracks after time. Need to do it right.
wow, commenters ripped him a new one! As a beginner, I have a chop saw and a handheld planer. what was hilarious tho, is the sped up version of a roster crowing, lol!
Yeah, here we go again. He is using framing lumber, it's not dried, so it will split, shrink, and warp. If he is planning on this being an out side table, the glue he used will fail within a year. This is a complete waist of time. Please don't try and duplicate what he has done here. There are a lot of really good woodworking videos on youtube, please check them out.
Actually, indoors or outdoors, this will fail. Legs to styles are glued cross grain and the wood will expand and contract in opposite directions, causing greater stress on the joints. The top glued and screwed up is even worse! Never glue the top to the base, as the top will expand and contract the most! Just a few screws with elongated holes in the base to allow for wood movement will help prevent the top from cracking and cupping. Pine is a soft wood and is more susceptible to movement due to the environment. So, even greater care and design planning is ideal to a better, longer lasting build.
Great beginners projects when you have access to. all those great high end Industrial tools. I don't as a beginner have access to any of that or the money to buy it. Thanks
Hi Woodworking Guide. I agree with most of the comments on this video. It's a great project, but simple projects for beginners. The ultimate in misrepresentation. Why not just promote it for what it is rather than try to mislead people who see right through it in seconds. Although, presenting it as you did got you 1.1 million views and 436 comments, which is honey to advertisers. Integrity = 0 Money making = 10
Why all the hate? Everyone complaining it is not a beginner project and the expensive tools and shit. Those are the tools needed to work with wood and the table has a simple design anybody can attempt to make even as a beginner. Use whatever knowledge/ideas you can get out of this video and add your own touch to make it better if you wish, hating on people that are trying to share something good with you is just low, don't do it.
You always make great work. Love to watch your videos. What brand is the "planer-jointer"? I'm looking for a machine with this size (not too big) and it looks very stable.
find a way to stop it at 12:08.. it is a twisted sister. the front left foot doesn't touch, like a 1/4" space. sloppy staining too. He is always sanding, like this is sculpting.
