Wow you guys would not like my shop then… I have been in a wood shop since diapers and was using a bandsaw (with supervision) in kindergarten. Yes I have all my fingers and no most of my tools don’t have guards. As a woman with long hair the only thought I had was the glue in his beard…
I like this guy, he's not talking too much - just doing the work. Great job. One thing I'd like to know though are the dimensions of the table and the legs
Nice project. Turned your scrap into a table you could sell. One concern. I really like your beard, however, other then getting glue on it, it could easily get caught in a drill press, sander, table saw, etc. It will pull you in or simply get ripped off along with a good chunk of skin. When I entered the work force, we had to wear ties, however, those ties had to be removed or tucked in if you went out on the manufacturing floor. An older colleague told me that he is in the company safety video, during the 70's he had long hair and it got caught in a machine and totally ripped off part of his scalp. So please, it's long enough to tuck into your shirt. Just remember, someone always wins the lottery and the odds are almost zero that that will happen, but it always does.
as someone with long hair (past my shoulders) recently getting into woodworking I'm always concerned about this as well, I put my hair into a pony tail and shove it up in a hat or down the back of my shirt to keep it out of the way
Nice project but theres one majior down fall which puts alot of people off and thats the background music! People either watch a video or listen to music cant do both lol
I agree. Music is usually annoying and unnecessary. We would rather hear the sounds of machines, woodworking tools, and narration & explanations of the steps being shown. Besides, would you really listen to this kind of music in your car for hours while driving down the road? I don't think so. Not exactly the Beach Boys... But great job on the table!
@@mikebond6328 Muting also keeps people from hearing narration, instructions, and the sounds of woodworking, which is what we are all here for to begin with. Not the music. Eliminating music is the best option, outside closing the video, giving it a thumbs down and going to someone else's video.
I'm gonna do one of these. Only exception is I think I'd rather use a router sled for final flattening. May not be necessary if I joint and plane my strips before the final glue up.
Titebond should really consider sponsoring this guy. Im a novice just starting off, but personally I didnt like his style. nothing against him, just my personal opinion. great outcome on the piece. keep it up bub.
This came just in time for us. We recently built a fence to code: 5' high. But the nice (7/8") cedar pickets only came in 6' lengths so we have a ton of 12" x 5½" pieces left. Hate to just toss them. Thinking of building bird houses or other projects. This is a great idea to use it up on way fewer projects. If I do this I will lay the pieces out in a brick pattern, though for additional strength. Thanks for the timely video.
My suggestion would be to make end grain cutting boards from your leftover cedar planks. You wouldn't even have to cut them to a uniform width, on the contrary, the irregularity in the resulting glued block would be more advantageous from the point of view of strength. Good luck from Czechia!
Was thinking the same thing, like a herringbone or something similar. I thought the end grain was a nice look, before you glued it. Either way you gave a lot of scrap wood a purpose.
I was thinking same, 'next time' glue up, herringbone or 'brick' pattern plus blanks for bowl turning, that many pieces would give some very interesting finished articles. Always great to see 'scrap' recycled into something, when it looks good it's even better
I like this build believe me, but I would have used a flattening jig which is easy to build with wood. Not knocking your piece or work Turned out very nice. I did see some high areas around the perimeter which means it was not as flat as it could be.
Definitely wouldn't use a foam roller to spread the glue! The foam will soak up the glue, which in turn reduces the amount of glue on the work piece and excess wasted glue on the roller! Surely this is simple common sense???
As a gal with only a small workshop, i. Just loving those clamps to hold everything together . Awesome job. I personally am someone who is always picking up peoples scraps of wood. Love to make signs and little bird houses planters . Nothing fancy or that straight haha but working with wood is satisfying. Just handy to have the tools i think. Great job. Love the tool shop. Very neat and serine. 😊
You sound like me .. same here picking up scraps from peoples skips and garden ( what they are obviously dumping ) love wood working but like you said just straight lines as haven’t got the fancy saws . Want to do bird houses and great idea to do planters . This table turned out beautiful ❤❤❤
Just wow!!! I've got so much I wanna do!! But my body is giving out on me so fast that I'm creating vicariously thru all my wood working leather crafting upcycling repurposjng family! I just wanna have 24 hrs to create all that I wanted.... 😂 lol awe to sweat from working not from pain that's a Lil slice of heaven folks... u did a great job. Heavy n I know long-lasting senor well done
You really need to show how you should use your push stick on the table saw. Im sure you know how to use it, but there are a lot of new crafters who would no have a clue. Remember safe first . Thank you
Amazing! everything, starting with the number of comments...I quit counting. lol Video work, simple explanation, no blaring loud music, great use of scraps, down to earth. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this. I know glue is strong, but Im worried over time, 5 years, 10 years, down the road this is doomed to crack and fail mainly because of two issues. 100% reliance of glue, and 100% end to end joinery. But I do hope I am mistaken.
@@britt8855 That's true for long grain but not so for end grain. I hope no one sits or stands on this table. Try an experiment yourself to satisfy your curiosity.
@@howardsmaid3491 This was my concern watching this vid. Surprising that for all the comments, this is one of only a couple that recognized the problem.
Unfortunately I don't have the machinery you have to do these projects! I'm a novice!! Wouldn't even attempt to do your work even tho I'm sure it's great!!
When you were squaring up the long strips, how did you know that the side on the fence was straight? Wouldn't that have giving you gaps during the glue up? Thanks
I wish I could find somebody local that has cedar scraps. I have a very shortbed truck bed camper that I need desperately to put some cedar shingles on to save the roof.😊
I have Festool. What's wrong with that? From your handle, it seems you may have fancy camera gear. I sure don't have anything fancy. Just a phone camera..... Is that a bad thing? We all have our tastes, right?
@@silverstake88 Not a thing wrong with Festool. I was just stating it is nice to see a RU-vid woodworker without a full shop of sponsored tools, like Festool. Most of us can't afford Festool tools but wish we had them. It is nice that you can afford and use them. Are they really that much nicer? They seem to be. :D
I loved this for the simplicity of design and build. The fact it was made from scraps and turned out looking so nice is pretty amazing. Well done. Keep up the good work.
I dig the vegvisir on your hand man. I have one on my foremarm. That beard makes you look Norse! You got Norse blood brother? Also, you were wearing a KC hat. You live in the area or just a fan of the Royals/Chiefs? Absolutely amzaing work btw.
Thanks man. My wife and I visited Norway a few years ago and got the tattoos while we were there. She has the same one on the same hand as me. I have Swedish ancestors, so i suppose I am Norse. I grew up in KC. Always a Chiefs / Royals fan. We live in Oklahoma now. I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching!
So how do you put a price on this because it just looks like a table from a retail store? I don't know how many hours and supplies you did and used to make it look this good, however still will it be a high dollar table or a budget item in spite of all the work you had to do to make it? At first I thought you were going to make it a chopping block or one with legs and leave it natural. This I believe would have been a high dollar item.
It sold for $700. It took a total of about 3 hours over 4 days to build. There was lots of time waiting for glue to dry. I probably could have made more on it, but $700 seemed like a fair price.
I’m even cheaper than you, sir. I use wood I gather from my own property and split boards with a froe. People don’t appreciate how much effort goes into a build like that. Beautiful work.
Great looking table. I think I'll try that with my scraps when I get a few more saved up. I hope you have a nice Easter and don't forget where you hide your eggs. God Bless my friend.
I really like the video and I’m not trying to be mean but every time you reached across the table saw I was praying you didn’t get cut 😮 you really had me worried.
@@averystreetdesignstudio Wow that’s a good price. How did you sell it?? Facebook, your own site, word of mouth, etc. I feel like I get blacklisted on Facebook and nobody ever even sees my sale posts
I love the video and the ideas in here. But with that, please invest in a riving knife or some sort of blade guard. It only takes one nasty kickback to stop you from ever being able to do this again.
