Reclaimed Timber Desk build - Forme Industrious 

To all the woodworkers and makers out there: You probably don’t think about it when you are hip dip in it and enjoying what you made but 80 years from now, maybe one of your great grandchildren or someone else’s will love to know who made that, maybe where and when. It will add so much enjoyment to owning the piece and might save it from destruction to have your signature etc on it somewhere. I now it is only a little table right now, but in a couple of generations, it will be an heirloom and family history. Love it!

CNC is not cheating, Scott. It's another tool that many now have. Excellent work!

Great build Scott! Cnc are just a super handy tool definitely not cheating

Really really nice table. Reclaimed wood does present problems but when it is well made you can’t beat it

It definitely is not cheating. If a woodworker 100 years ago had access to a CNC Machine they definitely would have used it. Looks great Scott.

Great to see the projects start to roll again. I love the bar behind the desk assembly. It is my favourite thing you made .... just pipping the tool draws you made,

Scotty, I think you've earned the title Renaissance Man, Jack of All Trades just doesn't cut it. Great video. Cheers!

Good to see you up and running again. You both must’ve been very busy setting up home and workshop. Another good video, thanks for doing them, very enjoyable and good to see someone thinking outside the box to achieve very good results.

La alegría y el agradecimiento. Hola amigo Scott, me alegra tu retorno a las fuentes, dar libertad a la creatividad que tanto te caracteriza. El agradecimiento viene por parte de esas viejas tablas hacia tí, olvidadas en el tiempo y obligadas a no lucirse como hubieran deseado, entonces...ver nuevamente la luz pero transformadas en un objeto útil y sencillamente bello creo que es motivo para ellas participar junto a tí en ese..." me siento feliz, me siento feliz " como supiste expresar oportunamente. Felicitaciones amigo Scott y un fuerte abrazo!

Nice one Came out really well Good to see you back in the shed Agree with the exposed screws

Glad to see you making stuff again. Nice workshop you made too.

Nice work Scott, you make fitting those dowel pegs look easy !. The desk came up a treat.

Fantastic to see you out in the shop creating something useful and beautiful out of recycled materials. 👍👍😎👍👍

Your channel is truly an inspiration to people like me who love to take things into their own hands. A hug from Brazil for you.

I Built a third life table from some scrap heading to the burn pile. It was a very limited amount of wood that I had to get all of the parts out of with no room for mistakes. I really enjoyed working within the limitations and the whole time it just felt great reusing someone's trash to make something beautiful. Also I am a woodworker and am a bit of a snob with CNC stuff. But it is just another tool. More power to those who enjoy it. I work on computer for a living and I don't want to come home to another computer when I am getting lost in my shop. Always enjoy your videos.

Hell yes your back,love ya work mate,cheers

OK, You can no longer say you’re not a woodworker! Nice design, nice table/desk.🛠️⚒️🪚👏👏👏👏

Hi Scott, she turned out very elegant looking. There is something satisfying about reclaimed timber especially if you reclaimed it from a skip. I am just finishing a kitchen window made from Sapele hard wood I fished out of a skip. I hope you enjoyed your travels

👍🏼 Great video as always… so cool that the recycled timber came from next door to where you used to live.

Nice, simple and clean. Good to see you making that Forme Industrious furniture again.

Amazing as always - love the colours and design. Thanks for the excellent video

Good to see you still smiling.

Absolutely amazing job again. And I happy to see your “old” furnitures what you have made in the past.❤

Good design on the table & it came out great. I like taking old wood and making something new out of it I find it very satisfying . It’s great seeing you working in your shop . Thanks Scott

A CNC is just another tool. People should just accept it. If having one doesn't make you a woodworker, then I'm good with that. Love the beautiful simplicity of the desk!

Your videos were already missed Scott, nice work!! 👌😉

Can't wait to watch this later Scott, I've been meaning to do a project like this for myself. I really enjoy your editing style and humour. 👍

Excellent, Scott! Great seein' a more traditional "Forme" project video, again! Don't get me wrong. I love the homestead videos, too! In other news, I wore my Forme Industrious t-shirt to work the other day and somebody asked about it. I told them all about ya, haha! I showed them some of the amazing furniture pieces you've made and they were blown away!

Good to see you again Scott. I’d watch you in the dark with a flashlight. Nice little desk you made. I just got back from my annual Knitting Retreat in Ogden Utah; it was a very nice break

Nice work Scott. Definitely gave me some ideas for IKEA-inspired designs.

Très belle réalisation,bravo,j’aime le principe de fabriquer avec des matériaux de récupération,à bientôt salut Jeannot 🛠😉

Good to see you back in the workshop I use old wood with nails and screws I have a $20 eBay stic metal detector and it work well have saved my plainer so many times Maybe the best investment I made All of the best

Very nice, I love old timber it has a story to tell.

Nice to see a new video of you creating again. As always I enjoyed your content. Here’s to more in the future 👍

Great to see your cnc machine going again

Great video. Super instructions. Lovely desk. Mahalo for sharing! ❤

Hi Scott, I know you dont know this but your raw videos that are specific to your life skills actually resinate to a broader audience. Myself for an example. I never thought this entertained me so much as it should. I wait in antisipation to the next videos an videos after that

Poetry in motion. 👍

Nice job, Scott. Nothing wrong with using the CNC if it gets the job done. Cheers👌

Great to see you finally used some of that timber. It came up looking great. You were spot-on to highlight a blemish rather than trying to cover it. That never works very well. Sweet piece of furniture, mate.

Great work, and a really beautiful table 👍 great use, of refurbished wood 😁

Hi Scott nice work buddy, looking forward to seeing more..

Very well done, taught me a few things which always makes my day

That's some bloody nice planks mate !

Turned out great 👍🏻

The desk looks great! It inspires me starting my CNC machine soon.

nice job done right here

Always a fun watch! Thank you

All of my favorite possessions were made from garbage or found items. I'm not sure exactly why it's so rewarding. It just gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling every time you use it.

Very nice use of scrap wood. I too am sold on the thread inserts. I use a brad point bit to transfer mark for drilling, instead of a pencil, it only makes a fine point to locate drill. With the prices of new materials these days, saving scraps is the way to go. Thanks for sharing.

Nice project, Scott. The table looks great. Greetings from Belgium

Turned out beautifully

Thanks! Always inspiring!

Nice one Scott! Cheers.

Good on ya Scott!

Muy bueno Scott! Grato siempre ver tu contenido. Saludos

Amazing work!

It's good to see you again, Scott. It's been a while.😊😊😊

Thanks Scott - nice job - I see you have a few newer tools for your woodworking

Very nice, well done. 👍

Finally you have made yourself a bigger desk. Now you need to make another to keep your eldest happy haha😂

Great video and table 👌

Well done Scott.

love it , done well as per useal scott

If not with a block plane, a cabinet scraper or card scraper makes removing epoxy patches a breeze without ruining sandpaper. Only takes a couple swipes and you avoid stressing about creating dips like you can while sanding. Turned out great!🎉

Now if all of us thought and behaved like you do Scott.

Nice wee project, came out mighty fine. Great to use reclaimed materials, using the CNC, if you have the big lads toys, use them, doing stuff and enjoying doing them is what its all about for most of us. We all i'm sure have bought new tools to play with , and that make our projects a bit easier or more fun . i bought a plasma cutter instead of using oxy torch for cutting my metal, did I really need it , not really, but its fun to use. unless we profess to being a purist in a certain field, then use what the heck you like. kind regards to you and your lass.

Отличная работа!!! Привет из Анапы.

lovely, well done

That was a good idea marking those syringes for Resin and Hardener so you could reuse them again...😜

Great job

Now you need a good desk spring lamp.

Nice one!

great job

So true mate, who needs bloody Ikea, when making it your self, is so much better 👍👍

Beautiful piece of furniture. Tapered legs look so much better than straight legs. BTW, you should make a "CNC is NOT cheating" t-shirt to sell!! I'm going to cut a sign from steel with that text next time I'm running the laser. I always found it strange that people think some tools are OK and others arent't. I think it might just be envy or a lack of understanding of the skillset required to run the tool. Anyway, my better half and I enjoyed your video as always 🙂

I need to build a small table for a spare bedroom, like a writing table. I think I am going to steal this design if you don't mind. :)

Nice work, thank you for sharing. And you don´t need to apologize for using a CNC machine. It´s a tool, just like a handplane. Anyone who says its "cheating" never had to push the Start button on a CNC and worry about what it will do to your workpiece. CNCs are uncaring and unforgiving, so taming them to do what you want is a great skill to have.

nice work :) "I could do that if I had a CNC" etc etc, well, I do have kind of one, a small 40W CO2 laser, and its just as hard as any other tool to learn, and isn't always the correct tool for the job, same as anything else :) very much enjoy all your vids :)

You'll have to get one of those magnetic nail finders.

Good to see you back in the workshop again Scott , gotta love the character of reclaimed wood, red pine or cedar ? Cheers from down south

Scott it’s great to see a project video, not that your construction build weren’t entertaining. I’m not sure but I was concerned about the table top fixings. I got the 6mm machine screws into the inserts, I use these a times as well, but I would think just 1mm either way ( it was an 8mm drill through the top ?) might not be enough allowance for seasonal wood movement. I like the cnc results with the butterfly’s. if I had one I’d use one, mine a manual but like anything, it what works for you. Regards

Another great video, thank you 😊. Is the timber old pine or kauri pine given it's from up north and wide boards. Looking forward to seeing what you create next, no matter what it is 😊

Hello sir, I would love that. 👍👍❤️❤️

Hey Scott Another big well done for this one. Hope the eye lash straighteners were not Jude’s?!?! Cheers from NZL

Nice project, well done. For the paint, how well do you think using an end mill or even a small fly cutter with tungsten carbide to strip the paint. I don't think anyone would look down on that use of CNC (tho I don't look down on it for your use of it).

Interesting video, have you done one on the CNC, pro/cons etc, have you found its worth the money🎉

It's so hard to buy decent quality cabinetmaking timber that is priced realistically. Using recycled is definitely worthwhile.

Scott, a lovely little table. The wood has such warmth to it. It looks like a pine or fir. Is it native Australian timber?

I had an aunt n uncle in Armstrong st. They're both gone now.😊

heat, but by heat gun, worked best on my old porch windows. They were also years of paint, latex over old enamel. Some of the old enamel was very hard and didn't want to come off any other way.

Thanks for showing me the angled dowel to replace two straight ones that won't fit. Q, I can only find threaded inserts made from alloy metal. I think steel would be better but I can't find any. Maybe some engineer type figured out the softer metal is better for reasons I don't know. Any thoughts?

Scott, you sure that handheld sander is big enough for that job? 😉

CNC is not cheating its just an nother tool in your workshop shed

Nice

👍👍👍

Don't you afraid of wood cracking in the table top? You screwed based directly to the top. Or you made enlarged holes to compensate wood movement?

What sort of timber? Looks like maybe Hoop Pine?

WRT the syringes, R = hardener, H = Resin. Is that right? ;-)

Skarsten Scraper, check one out.😮😊😊 And you are still Off Grind.
