I love finding old things and bringing them back to life with a fresh new look. I found this cheap oak table from the 80's at my local Goodwill and upcycled it into a beautiful piece of fine furniture. The legs were made of solid oak which gave me a ton of options. And the top was veneered so I tried some new veneering techniques of my own. I really love the end result and hope it enjoys its new home.

9:32 I'm not sure how often you have this situation, but this is how I joint thin panels now. ua-cam.com/video/b-kXTKVVTL4/v-deo.html It will quite literally change the way you woodwork. I have a second table saw now that I dedicate to it so it is always just setup. I have it installed side by side with my main saw and they share a fence in the middle. I cut to the left and joint to the right. I installed a fence from Very Super Cool Tools (best table saw fence I have used) and its flexibility allows me to do some really cool things. Anyhow, I hope you buy one and find it useful.
Did you add Steam to your mug? at 6:54
@@cewaffles I did. 😁
@@MakeSomething Nice touch.. Cheers
A wise man once said- can we just have some fun!
Someone at Goodwill now: Wow, I can upcycle that modern table into a great 80s table!
I hope so!!! haha!
Oak IS the new walnut!!
Probably paint it white.
I’d like to find that piece and put REAL brass inlays back into it.
That would be awesome.
😂
I live in the same city. Time to make it a reality. Haha kidding! I would just rock it in my house after all he did with it! Looks sick.
Somebody is going to buy that from Goodwill again and refinish it 🤣
Or fish it out of their dumpster lol
😂 so true!!!
Hopefully, in a nice 80s fashion. 🙃
They'll probably paint it.😂
@@Smedleydog1 a rustic 80s color I bet! 🙃
Just after college, I got an almost identical coffee table , without the inlay, that I sanded and stained back in 2000. That table lasted me for another 20 years and I ended up giving it away when we switched decor. I could literally stand on that thing. It was incredibly sturdy and I still miss it!
I had the whole set of those bad boys. Two end tables and the coffee table. Those suckers were like Nokia phones. Indestructible!
@@rosetealatte9282 Me too. Bought them in about 1988. Just sold them a year or two ago to a couple looking to decorate a contemporary home with period furniture. Also, the guy in the video made the end table look worse.
Built different, man. Things were mad to last. My oak furniture has gone through generations.
I remember seeing a lot of those tables in peoples homes waaaaayyyy back in the day. 80's was an awesome time to be around. We were so cool.
I thought I was too!
@@robandsharonseddon-smith5216 You thought you were? No no no. You were cool too back then.
@@robandsharonseddon-smith5216 as one thinks, so one becomes….you were cool. 😎 grab your jams and OP garb, crank the boom box and relive the glory days.
The 80s was the last decade of having fun. And living through it
This cracked me up right from the start because I have that EXACT table, in fact, a set of 2 end tables and a coffee table. And they are indeed from the '80's, and have lasted longer than 2 wives!!!
I love the fact that you brought the table back to goodwill! Keep up the awesome video's!
So much fun watching this video- I especially loved how you gave it back to the goodwill place.
Brilliant job as always. Thank you
What price did Goodwill put on the table the second time?
That was an unexpected and wholesome finale
So, you took apart a $10 1980's table, rebuilt it with another $100s of wood plus time, just to make it look 80's again. Great work
😘
I have a very very similar table, w/o the 80s decorative inlay or 80s decorative channel. I actually have 2 side tables and a coffee table that all match. I’ve always thought about refinishing them. Now this has inspired me to follow through with it.
Thank you for sharing!!! Love the top! Love the legs! But they don’t match. Of course, that’s my opinion and I could never do what you have done. I love to watch people do woodwork. I’m always amazed when things go together with no gaps! I made two things in shop class and didn’t get good grades on either one because even with power tools I couldn’t cut straight lines!
I love oak, but I like dark oak mission or craftsman style furniture. My kitchen cabinets in my old house were custom red oak with a danish oil finish.
I love oak, I hate you, I love your videos.
Bring back The Drunken Woodworker, he loved oak, especially big roundovers 😂
Hey Andrea - stop posting comments, start posting videos again! :-)
I feel so old and uncool. I liked the table before he worked on it.
I guess I just don't have any taste.
Great video and it did turn out pretty good.
I love the fact you do these upgrades for the masses.❤
The improvements to the legs and adjusting their placement to make the tabletop extend past them was smart and modernized the look, well done.
this was totally an improvement, agreed!!!
My mom has that same end table! To be fair I think she got it from the goodwill also decades ago
I have that set, along with solid oak California king waterbed with Mr & mrs dresser, hutch mirror, and oak Dining room set. All are solid oak, heavy as lead. They don’t make anything like that anymore. Raised two kids, 3 dogs, ten+ cats…still looks like new. Not understanding your dislike of oak, but to each their own 😊
My husband has corrected me, this looks similar to ours…must have been a popular design
Love you when you do these goodwill upcycle projects
Of all the things you can build from oak, the best thing is a fire.
Love the pattern on the new table
Fantastic work, Dave! It turned out more than beautiful! Nicely done! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Definitely loving the design you put on the top. This came out great!
Awesome rebuild of that old table David! I also like that you took it to Goodwill! 👍👍👏👏
That is the coolest restoration I've ever seen. ‼️💯 Great job🎉❤👏
Great work! This is the kind of content I love. Keep these types of videos coming
12:10 ".......... i nailed it to the bench" 😂😂😂😂 gettin a good laugh outta that. so relatable, too.
This is very cool. You should put a maker challenge out there for other makers to find a piece from a thrift store find and upscale it. Please tell me about the vintage tool behind you that looks like an old delta or Rockwell small jointer.
I'd be down for that! 👍🏼
Cool project Dave and you didn’t disappoint me……I was waiting for “Sand in the place where you live”. Love it
Good on you for giving it back to good will. It’s so beautiful I’d have been too tempted to keep it
14:12 I was waiting for the song 😂
Really enjoy the process,. "Everything is an experiment". Love it!
I can’t tell you how much I love this channel!!!!
8:18 this definitely has an MC Escher vibe to it, so cool
0:40 🤣 "we were real careful driving home"
table: SLIDES AROUND AND BEATEN MERCILESSLY
Love the random pattern that you got and the transformed legs are cool.
love how the top came out. (the stripes on legs still read 80s to me tho). what a wild thing to watch you work on this and especially that 'veneer' on top. loved it with the edging. totally wiped away that old look. would really like to see you do one that the WHOLE top is a funky pattern. bigger table. like just now pictured a coffee table with that or another crazy design. (also realizing just now that this is probably how chess boards are made lol)
WOW! What a transformation! Very nice work!
The tabletop is gorgeous! 👍👍👍
The different woods in the initial glue up then getting cut and rearranged reminded me of Damascus when blacksmithing. Definitely a cool patter and pretty trippy.
This is you at your best and most edutainmental. Well done. Thanks!
That squarespace ad is smooth.
Great tips love the finished results, ooohhh by the way Elvis bust is a great touch
very inventive use of an old table.. Epic cool.
Ha ha! Awesome work! I would've tapered the legs also but the black with inlay looks great. Way to bring that piece into the new millennium.
This is the first video of your that i have watched. When you got that table at Goodwill I thought that was a crap thing to do. Always watch to the end. Someone is going to be really happy having a nice piece of furniture.
Great video. Super geil redesign, refurb, upgrade. Cool how you donated it back. Mahalo for sharing! 🙂🙏🐒
Great job! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Thank you! I loathe the whole '80's Golden Oak aesthetic, with all the fake-fancy veneer and those massive roundovers. Thank you from rescuing that table from an eternity trapped in a low-budget knock-off of Miami Vice.
I too have nailed a project to my work bench, we had those same tables when I was a kid.
Really enjoy the goodwill videos!!
Very cool love watching your videos you always are so inspiring to try new things thanks
I hope the design is thin enough so that it won’t be effected by expansion and contraction. Nice job! It gave me some ideas for some old similar tables I have in storage 👍
Nice transformation. Remember so many of those tables from my childhood.
I love the new design
I bought the same table new in the 90's, and I still have it, don't know why. 🙃That would be a nice winter project to re-create it. 👍
I love that you got it from goodwill and donated it back to goodwill!
you are fearless. It is good to see. Thank you.
In my college apartment I had this exact style but it was a coffee table. It was painted black. Also bought at good will.
Я смотрю Ваш контент с превеликим удовольствием! Это счастье,-видеть шоу настоящего мастера своего дела! Восторг! Привет из России,Татарстан.
Super cool pattern on the top, the table came out great! Also the sand in the place where you live suspense on this video was off the charts 😂
Your dust collection system must be top notch in that amazing shop.
Good job giving it back, hopefully they got good money for it after.
Been follwing your channel for yrs. I was going to be critical at first, but then you hit us with, "Can't we just have a bit of fun?" Yes... yes you can. Keep having a bit of fun and the channel will flourish more than it has already.
Amazing wood shop, I want to do things like this…I don’t have the tools,etc so I’m sticking to a few other things like replacing legs, I like putting some legs on smaller bookshelves, add legs to a smaller cupboard and painting chairs, etc.
You sure do have all the tools ! Wish I had all those !
Brilliant job - love it ❤
Modern day twist on the Ship of Theseus paradox with a circle of life vibe. Many layers to this (No pun intended.)
Top tip always show oak! Oak is beautiful and awesome!
That old table looks pretty
Super cool!
Thanx for the FUN 😜 new here just found the Chanel ✌🌞👍
The 80 were the time to be in oh and nice table love your skills
I recognize those Goodwills! Greetings from Toledo!
I would definitely see the finished product and say “ wow that’s outdated but someone could make that look more updated “ 😂🤷♀️
HOW are you doing?!
Great work David 👏🏼 true art, making cool stuff just to make cool stuff. I dig it
"And that's how you get rid of the eighties. So now, I'm just going to die" ...dramatic pause... "these legs black".
really nice!
"Take off the top, then tackle the legs..."
That's how I approach all of my projects 😂
😮
I had the same table!!
You're going to laugh, I have a bookshelf, table, and coffee table exactly like that minus the gold strip. My parents purchased it in 1979, I went to the store and helped pick it out. I have hardwood oak floors so it looks really nice still.
I have searched for the past couple of years to replace it but sadly everything seems to be pressed wood today. You have inspired me to upgrade what I already have.
You look me in the eye when I'm sanding at you!
this video made me subscribe so now i want to watch them all.
That Q-bert looking design on the top veneer that he made means the 1980’s is still represented in this table. Well-played, sir. 😏
New sub…I love your style! Btw I laughed so hard when you looked at the camera while sanding!
😁 Welcome aboard!
Best sanding clip ever 😂😂
Our contries need more tv shows like this channel.
That was cool and selfless. Improving it and then donating it back that’s a classy, man. Kudos 👍🏽
I love the 80's ❤
I need to make that crazy cross cut dilly. I already have most of the hardware from a CNC router I built… then rebuilt… and now do not have space for.
10:50 I laughed out loud, it's so you!
I loved the scene at the end where you are sanding with crazy eyes 😂
Continuing to work on his pieces during the sponsor is genius
I absolutely love that you remake things and then drop them off at goodwill. Consider taking them to a goodwill in MD though. Insert baby voice? Cheers.
OMG...You had me cracking up @14:15. I almost choked on my chicken wing. I'm still laughing...You're STILL staring at me...
That top pattern is niiiiiiiice.
Bought a similar table at the thrift store a little while ago. 3x3 oak legs, framed glass top. I just cut it into pieces for other projects. Perhaps I'll think differently next time.
@12:01 when u give the "NAILED IT!" quote a new meaning. 😆 looks awesome Dave!
#i❤1985
We are working the title I see. 😂 I hope old man Al will turn the valves on this one for us .
Ah, the classic Holiday Inn / Motel Six collection of fine hotel furniture.
