This was perfect as a vanity desk for me. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxMAlHv7-BBWMrPRm5-uEoD6rtdT7SG2Qr Especially the glossy finish. Easy to cleanI was looking for something that wasn't the traditional white and with more of a modern feel. This fit the bill beautifully. I put it together with no problems, by myself in under an hour.Make sure you double check where you place the drawer tracks before screwing down. I had one track that needed to be aligned with different holes than the rest.
I think that it would help you if you put that assembly board on the other side of your workbench. Then all you would have to do is turn around to use the miter saw instead of walking all the way around like you are doing to trim the ends. Great video and build by the way looks great.
I appreciate the comment and tip david! Its a great idea honestly, ive actually moved into a new shop well after this video, ive just been in a slump with uploads, i have about 9 i have to edit and upload but the mountain just seems too steep at the moment, Ive got new content coming soon though! Please stick around and check it out!
I can't believe I watched the whole thing, 46 Minutes, well worth the watch. I've been looking for something like this. I just ordered the parts for a flattening sled, and this project is what my little shop needs. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to make a few $$. I have most all the tools now, with the exception of CLAMP'S on can never have enough CLAMP'S... Did I mention CLAMP'S LOL! Thanks for the time it took to make this video.
I like the way that you wiped that board off with your hand. In slow motion. Excellent. Informative video. I think i will try to build a table. Wish me luck
Mmm! I really enjoy the way you explain and the effort you are putting in to use your camera to really show how you mean. It’s like being with you in your wood shop showing me how to go about. I live unfortunately in Sweden, so that might be just a little bit of a too big leap. But if I was in the neighbourhood, I would bring us a couple of cold ones. Keep it up, man. You are doing great!👍🏻
I would totally have a couple cold ones if you! If you're ever in Michigan! Thank you for watching man! There's always rooming my shop for more people and cold ones! More videos coming soon!
Hey, I saw this tip the other day about the stuff you use to clean the sanding belts. It's kinda expensive to buy that block, but did you know it's the same stuff used for shoe soles? The salvation army and goodwill sell shoes and you can find the ones with that same material and buy for only a $1 or $2 a pair. Remove the uppers and use the soles to clean the sanding belts for cheap! Good tip! 👍🏻🇺🇸
So the reason for using 'good' wood is mainly to save time. But then we lose all the character of these individualistic pieces! The amount of work you put into that table definitely paid off in beauty. Thanks for sharing.
It`s beautiful, I don`t have any luck with the minwax, mine feels smooth and flat, but when you get close up there are millions of tiny micro bubbles. The last top I made for a steel base table, I did one pour of epoxy and let it flow out, torched it and loved the results, boy is the epoxy expensive, love your work.
Deano from Biloxi, MS USA by way of Napa, CA USA. Thanks a bunch for the tutorial. I learned quite a bit, like, how the biscuit cutter and the whole entire process works. Pretty kewl, dude!! You got another subscriber and I look forward to going through your videos.
I appreciate the kind words! Thank you so much! Sorry it takes so long to get back, I'm jump starting the channel back up! Stick around for more content!
Don't screw down the table top like that. You can maybe do it in the length direction and get away with it, but in the width, it will prevent the wood from being able to expand and contract with the seasons, as it is going to do anyway, and it will split. You need some kind of slot or swivel where the screw can slide a little in the width, while still holding the top down. There are a number of hardware pieces available specifically for this job, or you could rig up something yourself. Check out old tables. The ones that don't do this are either made of plywood or particle board, or they have cracks in them. Don't let your projects self destruct.
@@tjerkheringa937 No, he didn't. Plywood grain alternates direction with each layer. This runs all the same direction. Expansion is not the problem. Contraction is. If you look at better quality furniture, you will see various solutions to the problem of wood movement, while still holding something like a table top securely on the base. I can pretty much guarantee you that in a few short years this top will have cracks in it. This is a good example of how not to do it. But experience is the best teacher.
Just cool. Love to know that cost that gal. The labor, OH my. I have a pile of pallet wood in my drying shed. Not sure what I'm going to make. I also believe I'm gonna cut up some of my scrap pile to add to the whatever I'm gonna make. It's getting way to big. Awesome
Thanks for the video, it was useful to watch. Personally though,i thought some sections were too repetitive. Watching wood being put through the planner or belt sander gets boring real quickly.
Agreed! I really need to refine my editing to get rid of some of the repetitive stuff, nobody wants to listen to the high-pitched mind of a sander for hours on end LOL
I love how you explain things especially the biscuit joiner, i don’t have one and I know it’s not rocket science but it’s nice to hear an explanation Table looks super cool too. Sub from me👍🏻
Thank you for the kind words! The stopblock acts to align the strip for minimal waste, and allows me to setup and cut many at a time in quick order. The reason I'm trimming in the first place is to reduce the gap that happens when i butt the edges together during the assembly.
@@arlingtontrains7 a friend that had stopped at a local lumber supplier picked it up for me and left it at my shop door! Thank you for the kind words! And thank you for watching! New videos coming out soon!
The main reason i use the brads is to help hold everything. It would be incredibly hard to keep everything from sliding all over if you were to try to glue this without using brads. That being said, if you were to use straight unsegmented layers, using just glue wood be fine. Thanks for watching rob!!
beautiful! Love those strips! What is that long clamping guide rail you've got for the circular saw there? Would like to get my hands on on one of those!
They always go in the planer first! Its a risk i have to take,. i generally run each board across my metal detector to make sure there is nothing left behind, and then do a visual inspection along with sanding to make sure there aren't any stones or dirt left on the wood. And then just gotta make sure to keep the brads low enough in the board, and hope they dont wander upward. I have definitely nicked a few blades over the years. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I've been making these for about 6 years now, in some fashion or another, and from my experience i haven't had any complaints yet! Not to say something might come in the future though. Thanks for watching!
My guess would be that due to it being recycled pallet wood, most of the extreme expansion over time has happened to it already. Add to that there's so much glue and the final coats of poly on everything I'd think it should be good!
Does anyone know how he manages to use Brad nails n then run through table saw, and use biscuit joiner. Is it a case of getting blade for saw that's multi material, n biscuit joiner goes through them OK. Ty all

Your videos have been a huge inspiration for me but after building a similar tabletop and coming back and rewatching this video since gaining that experience.. I can't help but feel like you made it so much more work than it had to be? For example.. what was the thought process behind the first initial dry fit (about 2:40) just to grab the specific amount of pieces of wood that was needed? I understand you had to make the end square but why not just square ALL the pieces, since you've prepared them all for this regardless of if its this project or the next? Or to really save yourself more effort, when you are breaking down the pallets and shortening each piece - just cut them square the first time. I mean absolutely NO offense by any of this, but it all just feels like a colossal waste of time? You have the pieces ripped down to size already when the video starts.. if they were all square then you could do a quick dry fit, and as you go you would cut the pieces on the ends to fit the 36" length. Then you can just glue it from there. No need to take them apart like at 9:32. This way would also save you from doing two additional dry fits.
Im a work in progress for sure! But i needed to lay everything out at first to make sure first that i had enough wood to work with on that specific project. I definitely could have just squared them there as i went in that situation. My process is being refined every time, and I'm a bit scatter brained for sure in that instance. But i absolutely have to take them apart layer by layer before glue up, because i needed to both glue and brad nail them, in a quick enough amount of time that the glue doesn't begin to fully set before i clamp them. Clamping is an important step because I'm not relying on the brads for the clamping pressure, they are more so there to stop everything from sliding around during the glue up. Without brads it would be nearly impossible to get everything perfect. And during that process if I'm also trimming pieces to length it adds a lot of time that the glue wood have to dry. I hope that makes sense,.. This table was from a few years ago though, and my process is much more refined now, i have table jigs setup and most if not all of the piece refinement is done before glue up. Still trying to figure out how to get away from brad nailing though, I have a bunch of videos coming out soon showing off my process evolving. Thanks for the comment and the questions! So happy to have inspired and i hope you stick around for future videos! There are a lot coming!
Dude. Nice job. Good to see normal everyday people doing great work. Then you brought it home to your lady. Smart guy.
It's like watching an old friend build something using gifts from his beloved grandpa, in a barn behind his mom's house.
It's a pleasure to watch your work. It's good that you work with secondary wood! Soulful and pleasant video!

You can thin the wood filler down for smaller holes and it will apply easier.
It's a really nice top but slacked on the legs tick the easy way

Cool...👍👍

I like!!!
Thanks Verano!

Do you have to put conscious thought to where you shoot the brads to avoid hitting them with a blade later?
Nice table and the legs are gorgeous! Can you explain me the purpose of that 'stopblock' when you trimmed the strips?

Hello, great video. Are the brad nails necessary?

Great work but the head mounted camera when filling in the gaps was making me nauseous
So am I understanding correctly, you alternate 1/4" & 1/2" slats? 👍🏻🇺🇸
Man the finished product looks so good! Can't wait to get my hands on one of these tables, are you currently taking commissions?
Just make one! It will be fun😂
Is that all hard wood or is there some pine mixed in there? Looks good!
Creepy music.....beautiful table!
Really nice and helpful to watch. Do you happen to be using the sander instead of a plainer because of the metal bits in the pallet wood?

Unbelievable 😂😂How can one brain be so mixed up...
can you tell me what nailer you use in this video. what gauge nails
I think it's just a rigid pneumatic of some sort, can't remember the exact model name, I think I used 3/4 to 1-in brads I'm pretty sure
Do you think there will be any problem with wood expansion over time? Very nice work, enjoyed watching.

Beautiful. So I too can make a beautiful table using nothing more than recycled pallet wood and....what? $50,000 worth of machinery? Nice!
16:39 thats what she said
nice product. but the hardest part to all of this is getting all that expensive machinery under a single roof.
With time and materials this table may have to sell for 10 grand to make a profit.
