- I Use Bulk Hardwood Flooring To Attempt To Build A Dining Table With Minimal Tools For A Fraction Of The Price. I built a table using hardwood tongue and groove boards, similar to my earlier coffee table build. The result is a great hardwood surface.

let me know what you think! Also here is my other video on the Hardwood Coffee Table: ua-cam.com/video/JVqCEDQ6Cl8/v-deo.html
I love how you showed all your mistakes as well. Thank you
The elegance of the simplicity in this is just amazing
I can’t believe so many people aren’t subscribed! This is like one the best maker channels on UA-cam IMO. Keep doing what you do I love these videos they are so zen and really inspiring when I want to make something in the workshop :)
:)
I did a double take. He has a good amount of subscribers. It’s so relaxing to watch. Amir makes great projects and videos
He just got one more!
Man that looked ROUGH until . But you persisted and kept at it, and it looks BEAUTIFUL in the end!
im confused for your nailing straight down, why not go in on a angle?
Awesome job. Your patience is refreshing. 👍🏽👍🏽
The table looks sharp and great colour. You could try drilling tongue at a 45 degree angle then putting the nail in. It saves filling all those nail holes. I've done eucalypt floors and we actually clamp the boards together. It's usually shrinkage in the timber that happens, so no need for a gap. Not criticising what you've done, just some suggestions to think about in the future.
This simplicity let all the project amazing, congratulations, Hi from Brazil
I did this 7 years ago for our dining table and it has been amazing. I used 6" wide hand scraped Maple from a local flooring store. They only had two boxes left. Discontinued product and leftover from an install. I got it for $60 and its beautiful. I did a breadboard end design, and trimmed with some Maple from a local wood store. I have left the planks finished as they were from the box and it has been so durable. We now have a 2 year old boy and it's getting some serious love.
Nice job!
good to know it holds up over time
Very nice, thanks for taking us along the journey of building this beautiful table. It’s also great to know this is even possible, as it opens up a lot of creative possibilities, like pre-staining the pieces in slightly different shades before assembling them.
That's a great idea!
I enjoyed this immensely and am happy to have found your channel on Reddit. Subbed.
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the feedback, and welcome to the channel :)
These vids are therapeutic, I subbed so fast my man
Finally a use for the load of spare veneer flooring tiles I’ve got laying around in a cupboard under the stairs
dam that came out so good. i install hardwood floor for a living but never thought about doing this thank you so much
What a great idea and design! And thank you for suffering for us as regards spaces between the pieces of wood. I would have thought such spaces were necessary because the wood widths were not exact enough to create a clean surface... but you proved they're VERY precisely cut!
Now, of course, the one thing that bothers me about the table: From the time when I was only about four years old and was investigating everything in the house... and I saw that the bottom of the dining room table was not finished... I've always complimented designs that finish even the side that nobody would theoretically ever look at.
But hey, the bottom of your table looks great! UNTIL you see that those legs are held in place by flathead screws though the table leg has cylindrical mounting holes. Come on! Pan head or Truss head screws, or countersunk through holes in the leg assembly, are the right kind of screws to use here.
Thanks for the project!
Can you really glue the solid wood planks to plywood without worrying wood movement?
Great content. Excited a new video came out.
The reason we’re going through this trouble is…because it’s freakin genius! I love the outside the box thinking!
Very nice step by step instructions. Have some extra wood flooring and will be making a desk using a similar method, albeit its pre-finished.
Love this. You are a stud Amir.
Absolutely beautiful result! Well done!
Thank you for the feedback :)
Nice project Amir!
Really nice table and sick music too during 4:48
I’m going to support the heck out of you on Patreon once I get a job. Your content shouldn’t be free man. Keep up the good work👌
Everyone here commenting on such a nice table but they all miss the best part of this video at the end of it.
You know what I'm talking about.
Ah yes, the man with eyes as sharp as a razor
My meatball sharp meatballs have identified the crem de le mem
was waiting for the next amir video
New subscriber, 👍🏼 thanks for the video. I picked up a huge pile of used tounge and groove last fall and thinking about redoing my parents bathroom.
Lovely!
I'm going to make a kitchen countertop for your RV using this method. I love this!!!!!
Did you do this and how did it go?
Hey Amir, love the project! One question: why did it matter that you had the groove facing out rather than the tongue?
It has to do with the way the boards lock together. You can snap a grooved edge over a nailed-down tongue, but you'll bust the tongue off trying to do the reverse.
@@carmium Got it, thanks for the tip :-)
rotate the top around or cut a m/m or f/f conversion strip. Gaps? route a shallow groove ( with straight edge ) and inlay thin strip slightly proud of top and sand flush. contrasting wood color if you wish. gets rid of the small top bevel of the small top bevel on pre-finished strips.
@@MrBonners they make spline, we use it for reversing the direction of a wood floor to install into another room so you can have 2 grooved sides facing each other, then glue a spline in the middle of the 2 and nail the tounge of the new board. Hope this helps anyone in the future, spline is very cheap
ikea gerton hardwood tabletops are on clearance right now in some stores if you have one nearby; Solid wood and only $50 for 61"x29.5". about $4/sqft with a lot less work.
Your work looks great but here's an option for those of us without $3000 worth of tools.
The tools hardly cost a quarter of that. Building your own things is different than buying, people build because they want to. Don't get me wrong, I actually own a gerton table top, but they're on clearance because they're being discontinued. Maybe you could buy a table top and modify/ stain it for some personalization.
Yes very beautiful table you build here im making similar one
Maybe a tip to help someone but If you hit a flathead screwdriver into the ply substrate next to the board you can use it as a lever to pull the planks tight while you pin them down to minimize gaps
I really enjoy your channel! Soon I might attempt a copycosmo project at which point I’ll pay a lil somethin to your patreon. Thanks for the content. Blessings 🙏🏻
Fantastic!!!!
Cheers 🍻
Rock on!
The stuff you make is awesome but the vibes are even better:)
Love the video! About to buikd a desk for the Mom in law based on this. One question if i can bother you!
Would skipping the space all together have been worse? Or is that space and filler step necessary because of wood movement. Thanks!
Solid table, solid video! Subbed for sure
Welcome to the channel :)
Very nice
I did it again, i pussed like button during the first ads
:)
I made my very first table out of bamboo flooring and plywood underneath, and then two thin pieces of oak to add a flair to it. It could probably support a thousand pounds lmao. I figured why not get the most expensive and beautiful hardwood I can get. But unfortunately I don't have that many good woodworking tools so the desk ended up with a slight curve to it... Though for my first time wood working I'm quite proud. I'll probably make another for fun.
We don't make mistakes, we have happy accidents.
Lol, ala Bob Ross?
The table looks amazing! I am curious though. Instead of nailing the hardwood down. Would it have been better to use a hardwood flooring stapler? With the correct size staples that wouldn’t penetrate the backboard.
Nice project. is the top pretty heavy? Also without a center bar do you find the table go side to side too much?
I wasn't sure if you were mimicking WOBY or not. Then the clip rolled. Lol
What did you use for the edge of the table top to make it smooth?
Is this still holding up looks great by the way thinking about doing this myself
Couple of questions. Why do you go with water-based polyurethane? Would you not make the table again with the gift card gaps? Great vid!
Water based dries in 20 minutes and since the workshop is outside so many bugs would get on it if it was any slower
Was this new or reclaimed hardwood flooring?
dO YOU HAVE A LINK FOR THE WOOD?
Shrek is love, Shrek is life
Wait, wouldn’t the ends fail due to wood movement still on this?
groove on the wrong side? just rotate the sheet around or fill groove with cutoff strip of tongue or groove strips, or route a female/female, male/male conversion piece . Router with a straight edge, a thin shallow inlay groove down the gaps and fill with a thin strip ripped from a long strip, slightly proud of top and sand down. gets rid of the small top bevel on pre-finished strips. contrasting coloured wood for fun.
By the way, what’s that red thing do on your drill?
Magnetig bit holder :)
@@A.Mere.Creator - Oh I see. Would you mind sharing the link to buy it? It wasn’t in your tool list in the description. Also, how do you like it?
It works great. makes it faster to switch bits, but I"m not sure where I got it, they all work the same tho, just find one that speaks to you :)
How you gonna watch this and not subscribe???
You've heard of "You Can't Make Furniture From Construction Grade Pine", now get ready for...
Hey Amir, I have an older bamboo cutting board that has developed some fairly deep cracks (when I got it, I didn't take care of it properly, I.e. didn't oil or wax it). Would you have a suggestion for a filler for said cracks? Its my biggest cutting board and I don't want it to give out on me just yet!
Wood filler like that are not tough enough for something like a cutting board, your best bet would be to close the gap with clamps and glue, but if they’re too big, epoxy will do it ua-cam.com/video/iaIW798vO3Q/v-deo.html
whoever disliked this doesn't appreciate art
If your just glueing it down the direction doesn’t really matter
8:11 :D
Ahhhhh... I thought this was a $2, square, foot table.
Wow, that's totally a valid interpretation haha
@@A.Mere.Creator I was like, there’s no way. Unless it were tiny? Haha.
Have to fill gaps.....or epoxy!
