I never like commenting, but the fact that you made your table plan free is amazing. Wow me and my husband are going to attempt this. Thank you! We have so much scrap wood.
Stumbled upon this video and there are a lot of ways to make this better… here are my notes Just assuming that this is a very basic table for people without a table saw (if you have a table saw trim off the rounded edges of the 2x6 for the table). First point - when making a table top, alternate the growth rings so you have semi circles on the end grain going up and down and up and down. This will help to limit cupping and bowing. Second gluing AND screwing the table together is unnecessary. The glue is what holds the board together. Just clamp it together (if you don’t have clamps, I guess you could use the pocket screws….) Third, NEVER screw the breadboard ends to the table. That completely defeats the purpose of that design element. Wood moves (especially this type of construction grade wood) with the changes in the season. It wants/needs to swell and shrink with the humidity in the air. If you prevent that (say by screwing the boards together in the ends) you risk the table top warping or snapping under pressure. So avoid the breadboard end altogether or google how to do it right (which is with an oversized mortise and tenons that are not screwed in but pinned loosely in place to allow movement and keeping the table flat). Fourth in securing the table top to the legs do not use pocket screws. Use little l shaped brackets but leave a little wiggle room for wood movement. You want the table top to be attached to the apron but still be allowed to shrink and swell with time.

This is beautiful 😍 thank you for sharing this. I'm going to check out your other videos
Awesome! Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow You're so creative and talented
Great job 👏👏👏👏
Any way you could make a video on how to make bench seating for this table?
Did you RIP these boards and/or run them through a planer?
What kreg jig is that for the 4x4? I can’t seem to find anything that will work for over 1.5”
Where did you mark for the pilot holes on the 4x4? Thanks
See my website thediyplan.com for exact measurements. Thanks
How long did you let the glue sit for before you started to sand the table top?
About two hours
Is there a tutorial on how to do the chairs?
right now I do not, maybe in the future I'll make a tutorial for chairs
hello, i am new to building and would like to know the type of wood you sued for this table
I used regular construction pine lumber from Home Depot. See my website for more details, thediyplan.com/kids-table/
What type of wood is the table top?
I used regular 2x6 and 4x4 pine
@@TheDIYPlan Thank you, it looks beautiful.
Am I trippin? Or am I missing the part of the video where you attach the surface to the legs before you start to sand?
Yeah I tried to rewind for that part too. Lol
Hi, he starts the process of attaching the legs to the table top at minute mark 3:06. Very late reply but hope it helps :)

So if you use l Shaped bracket, and dont screw the ends of the wood this will be secure enough to hold top to the 4x4s?
Is that a SIMS song?
What color stain is that?
The stain is called Honey. Make sure to use pre-stain before using stain.

A great variety of designs is on the woodglut instructions website.
