Cerused Oak Coffee Table [] Stunning coffee table build [] DIY Build
In this DIY video I build a coffee table to compliment the sideboard we already have in the space.
To achieve the look of a 1.5” thick table top, but not to have the weight or expense of using all that oak, I instead use laminated boards around the perimeter to give the illusion of heft.
After it’s built, I use a two step finishing process by first staining it with black india ink and then massaging the Rubio white deep into the pores of the oak to showcase and celebrate the beautiful grain of the wood and of course to seal the surface.
Check it out and let me know if you have any questions!

    How have they held up over time? I’m in the NW and a friend likes the riser mounted ones. There are some places that would be difficult to access if replacement is needed. Also can they be removed from the surface? I suppose there’s enough slack to pull the connectors out through the hole if needed

    I'd prefer just to use little stick on lights as it is much easier to fix if something goes wrong with one of the lights and also means no need to drill holes in the decking

    • @billymacmakes
      @billymacmakes 5 місяців тому

      Are each of the stick on lights you are talking about battery operated? Otherwise, what are you doing with the wires? You'd have to drill holes to run the wires behind or else you have them in the front, and that is ugly. Each of these LED's is easily swapped out should anything go wrong, as you'd just have to unscrew it from the connection and put in a new one. But after many years, all mine are still going strong!!

    all joking aside, I have a used vintage ryobi AP-10 benchtop planer that has the fold down rollers along with the infeed/outfeeds. I have zero snipe for the first time In my life. I pad 50 bucks for it and bought some new German HSS blades for 30. total 80 bucks for a result that can compete with something sanded with 1000 grit sandpaper. its funny how much I've spent on previous planers that all got stolen, but created the worst snipe ever.

  • @pstrzel

    • @Aaron-nj4ou
      @Aaron-nj4ou Рік тому

      Place a piece of melamine inside the full width of the planer with a stop on the infeed side underneath so it can’t get pulled through. The technique in this video will work for a one off but will get expensive having to make piece a for ever piece of wood not to mention the blade wear from cutting into the plywood/ melamine of the runners.

    • @billymacmakes

    • @billymacmakes

      It's certainly not the best for a planer, however I plane lots of cutting board glue ups, so it's getting challenged with that too. It's a helical head, so I can rotate the cutters a few times before they'd need to be replaced.

    Great construction! One question: Did you use the exterior siding also on the sides that are protected by the house wall? I want to install it in a place where only the front will be visible and that will save material & cost. Or what did you use to protect those sides? Thanks!

    • @billymacmakes
