This is nice when you're having extra company over and you need another table for a dinner. And then you could hang that on a wall in your garage or your shed until you need it again.
Paint a nice design on it and simply hang it on the wall as an art piece. Remove it from the wall and use it as a table top when guests come over. Yes, I know, it’s a genius idea. 🤣
I was taught in shop class (eons ago) to use 0000 steel wool to apply stain instead of a brush or a rag. That way all the stain goes into the wood, including the oil, instead of the rag soaking up the stain and oil. It also smooths the wool a bit more. Then use fresh 0000 steel wool to smooth the raised grain between coats.
Watch for oil on new steel wool as others have advised that the oil they use on steel wool causes black dots on Wood. Feel free to correct me if that was only with one wood or one brand of steel wool.
Couple more things to add. Glue, it's "stronger" but only when applied properly. Thin coats on both pieces being glued, not a heavy coat on one side. This pushes the glue into the grain on both sides, and letting the glue surfaces meld with each other ensuring the strongest bond. Glue is sorta stronger as well. It is however, weaker to expansion stresses and shock forces. Over time glue will become brittle as well. Always best to use both screws/nails and glue. For the trim, you should attach a bit of fir strip along the end cut sides as nails and screws don't hold well into the end grain. Attach a fir strip along the edge, and attach the finish trim to that instead/as well for added robustness of the finish trim. I would also recommend getting countertop epoxy to help give the top some dent/gouge resistance. Even with poly, pine is soft, and will definitely start showing damage fast. Final thing. Save yourself that folding table and take a look online, like Etsy, and find some nice legs to put the table on. Willing to bet you can find some cheaper than the table your putting the table top on. Overall though, I do like a simple build though, especially one that I can reuse wood I already have for. And this did come out looking nice.
Nice simplistic table top. If you have a router with an ogee or 1/4 roundover bit, it would add a decorative touch and avoid splinters from the edges. Thanks for the dual project video.
You made that table top look way to easy with the nail gun. I keep telling myself I need to invest in one but always change my mind when I see the cost. 🤣 Maybe one day.
🎉wow! I wish i had found this sooner. Could have saved lots of time from making a farm house table. Its all good. I love my table and i love yours too.
Great idea for when the folding table gets some wear and tear to the top, and you can store the wooden top. I think I’m going to do this exact thing for an outdoor space I’m planning. Great idea
It would be cheaper to just get a new folding table. Then spend all that money on wood, stain, air compressor. Air hose, nail gun, nails, wood glue, and wood filler.
Folding card table cover is beautiful✨ Your narration is improving- the number of times you said "..go ahead and .." or ".. just go ahead and .." is going down🙌🏻 😉
@@GoodlyEarth Well I admire you for making these videos and I know that it’s a lot harder than it looks🙌🏻 Here’s a good way to train yourself to avoid filler words or phrases. Buy an electronic VIBRATION correcting dog collar with a remote for causing vibration. Best for beginners. Buying the electric shock correction collar will accelerate your training. Get results FAST! Grab an assistant such as wife, kid, or neighbor and give them the remote, with instructions for using it. If your assistant is an adult, have a couple beers or drinks. Oh yeah, have someone else take videos of your training. 👍🏻 Turn on the device and fasten the collar around your neck, centering the vibration divise in the front of your neck. Begin your demonstration and speak smoothly and confidently. When you say 'uh' or 'er',stumble over your words, or say 'go ahead and…' your assistant will use the remote to cause the collar to vibrate. Repeat the process, increasing the strength of vibration as needed. Good luck and go ahead and have fun!!🤩😂😂😂😂🤣
That is one of the coolest ideas I have ever seen for an outdoor folding table. We have two like this that we use on our patio for gatherings. I'm going to get started on this next week. Excellent video and now a new subscriber.
Lol... This reminds me of when my office turned an old metal framed table into a nice conference room table. Basically did what he shows in the video, only with higher end wood, etc. Plus, we did a frame around the legs also... which helped provide support and made it look really professional. Lastly we paid a company to float a single piece of smoked glass on the top (after finishing the wood and stuff of course).
I honestly thought you were gonna detach the top plastic white part and re attach the wood top you made. Still awesome work. I'm happy someone else had the same invasive thought and actually did it lol
My comment has to do with the size of the finishing nails. If your using 1x6 boards and your nails are only 1 1/4” long that means only a quarter inch is actually going into the table top which isn’t really enough to hold securely. I understand that you don’t want the nails poking through the top but you could use a 1 1/2” or even a 1 3/4” and the nails wouldn’t be long enough to protrude through the entire 2” of both boards put together. This is especially true since you plan on removing the top and folding the base when not in use. The more you move the top, the more chance of that slight 1/4” pull out.
It also looks like he didn’t glue the long boards together, which means the cross boards are the only things holding it together & although glued across it there are too many weak spots. The edging won’t keep it together either.
@@Elizabeth-rq1vi instruction vids like this make me laugh it’s going to last about 6months to a yr before it falls apart, all the comments saying they will copy it too 🤦🏻♂️

I ALWAYS CLICK WHEN I SEE YOU POP UP AND IM NEVER DISAPPOINTED. 💕
I liked it much better before the stencil.
LOOKS fun enough for me!
Beautiful work! Turning a card table into a beautiful wood dining table…Amazing! And stenciling on wood making a fantastic design, Love it!

Thank you! You are an excellent instructor.
What a great idea for the folding table.

The black and copper stenciling is outstanding
Wow!!! I love this so much. Your wife is a lucky woman indeed.
I have a feeling the wife has tons of diy stuff around the house. Maybe even a little spoiled lol
Great Video! Fast Easy and to the Point

OH WHOAH THE TABLE IDEA THANKYOU!
I'm going to go ahead and leave a comment--nice job, it looks great!
Wow an actual achievable and affordable project. (Folding table project)

The narration was so relaxing, he's like the Bob Ross of DIY's
Love that table
I love what you done with that table overkay
You’re so interesting to watch! Really great video voice (even for Audible). Great story teller! (1st DIY)
Those were both great ideas! Thank you
So glad!
Thankyou for sharing.
I love that table top. What are the measurements for that project?
6 feet long and around 30 inches wide.
Remember to measure your specific table if you are going to try this.
Love the table!!!
Very, very creative n lovely.
Great work loved it.
Would be nice to see a hinged version of this table. 🤗
His wife would probably faint !
@@sticky59 From the table or it's weight 🤔
This was brilliant with the wood table !🎉
Very nice project and not complicated at all 👍
LOVED IT VERY NICE ,HOME HANDY MAN ,HAPPY WIFE ☺️😉

What I want to know is where to buy that folding table.
Recorded horizontally:)

Great idea, with the folding table. I like the stain mixed in the topcoat.
Beautiful work
Gave me a great idea. Perfect for when you need an extra table for the holidays! Thanks
Great video 😊
Fabulous idea! I have tables like this that were stored in a shed with stains on them. This will be a great way to fix their appearances. 💕♥️♥️❤️
you know what else works.. a table cloth
Beautiful.well done.
You make it look so easy
I love this and it came out so beautiful i am from Nigeria I would love to know the names of those machine tools used.
Also enjoyed your motive!
Beautiful workmanship! Thank you for sharing 🤗
BURN THE SURFACE WITH A TORCH OR PUT SOME GASOLINE ON THE SURFACE (A THIN LAYER ONLY) BEFORE THE CLEAR COAT ,
IT WOULD GIVE TO A SUPER ANTIQUE FINISH.
Are you serious? I will have to try this!
I love it
Thanks god bless
Nice work.
I love this! I almost think I could do this myself! (My husband is an awesome musician/keyboard player but he doesn’t really build stuff)
You can do it!
That was super cool!
Wow awesome thank you for sharing. 🤗👍😆🎸

the boards are 3/4" thick, so 1 1/4" nails penetrate at least 1/2". They just hold the boards until the glue dries.
Weren’t you listening? Those nails were one and an inch quarter.

@@spycedezynuk yup I wanted to smack him putting poly on like that. But when your making a table out of another better table I guess it doesn't matter
Cool project !!
