- I made these end tables to match the TV stand i had made previously. The tops are Walnut with a Pine body. There is no footage of the painting because my sweet wife painted them for me(Thanks Patty!). The Table Top Clips are Rok Hardware 14 gage (Amazon) and the felt pads are X-Protector 8 Pack (Amazon). Any questions , just leave them in the comments. Follow me on Instagram @ Bamafan35. Thanks
I used your video to make my endtables. They came out great. Thanks.
So glad! I just recently made a pair for a customer, only walnut instead of cherry. Happy woodworking!
Beautiful job Bammer. ... But I noticed all those Big Orange tools and equipment mixed in with the Crimson.
Well done.
Wonderfull Job... Thanks a lot for share !
This is similar to my next project. Nice contrast with the stain and paint
Thanks man!
Brown paper bag👍👍👍👍
Where did you get plans from may I ask? Great job!!
I got them from Anna White. I changed the dimensions. www.ana-white.com/woodworking-projects/rustic-x-end-table
Crimson Woodworking ; thank you
Did you do a half-lap for the cross pieces?
I'm building one for my daughter and I used the same process as you to find the angles for those cross pieces. I used a half-lap (my first attempt at one) and it came out great.
Another design decision is whether to put the cross pieces flush with the outside of the frame or inset. As I'm looking at mine, before gluing, I'm kinda liking the look of them being inset. Personal preference, for sure, just curious if you even considered it.
I inset my cross pieces 1/4 inch. I didn't half lap them, but that would work fine. You're daughter will love them!
can you explain the finish on the top, sanding what type of coat....and what do you mean by brown bag. Thanks Noob Woodworker here
Glad to help. Sand your walnut or whatever wood you use progressively up to 220. Then raise the grain by misting some water on top (or use a wet paper towel). The grain will raise no matter what finish you use so get it out of the way by water popping it first. Next after the grain is raised sand it again with the 220, it will now be super smooth. Air it off or vacuum to remove all dust and you're ready for finish. I used spray can lacquer (semi-gloss) because lacquer will bond to lacquer without sanding between coats (but lightly sanding between coats is fine too if it feels rough). If you use lacquer wear a respirator and leave a door open or do it outside or you'll get a headache. Water based poly like Polycrylic is another great option. Just use a good brush. Then after the lacquer or poly has cured for 3 or 4 days, get a brown paper bag and buff it one last time. A brown bag is the equivalent of 2000 grit sand paper. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions.
@@crimsonwoodworking9609 thanks for then quick and detailed response - how long do i raise the grain for with the misting? thanks
@@d100763 just let it dry. (30 to 45 min) It will feel super rough, but re-sanding with 220 will make it smooth again.
Did you make you planer catch bag or is that something you bought somewhere?
Man you're making me feel old... I can't remember exactly. I "think" it came with a leaf bagger and just happen to fit. But I love it, I just wish it held about twice as much. The blower is so strong you don't need a vac, just something to catch it with.
Where can we get the plans you used??
I based this build off of Ana Whites X design End Tables. I changes the height to fit our sofa. Here's the link.
