I am a beginner to woodwork, the main test I have with this bundle ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt is that I think that its hard to settle on a choice of the plan and outline to use as there are a large portion of them there.

No se en que país estas pero acá en Argentina existe una madera o mejor dicho un árbol llamado quebracho que es así cm lo ves y se usan para durmientes y montar las vías de los trenes ... sin tratamiento es muy buena .. de echo esta madera puede estar bajo el agua durante 20 o 30 años sin descomponerse
An admirable concept except he should have cooked the wood overnight to kill the bugs. Did you not see the termites falling out of the cuts as he cut the wood on the table saw?
Yes, I mean, using a prybar to pull it out before you started, that's just the coward's way out. Most of the tools, however, looked like they had been destroyed long before they found this railroad tie.
As a professional forester for 40 years with the U. S. Forest Service, and knowing much about wood treatment, NEVER TRY SALVAGING RAILROAD TIES AND REUSE FOR ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For real! Ties aren’t even really suitable for retaining walls unless gravel surrounded like where they were originally used. Dirt on them rots em in a few years. As for the nice table, I would leave that out on the porch. Open to the sides so it doesn’t trap gasses still escaping the wood.
The amount of rod and degradation of the ties suggests they were likely untreated, or only treated on the outside. Termites wouldn't move in were it treated through and through.
Your skill is amazing 👍 Couple years ago I made a chairs from an old rafters. Didn't have professional tools so it came out kind of raw but functional.
Very nice. During the entire video, I wondered if this table still smells like a railroad tie smells. They are treated with some strong chemicals. Also, I think a dark piece of tempored glass instead of the wicker stuff would look better and be more pratical. But still very nice and great video. Thank you!
I wiped out a couple of chain saw blades cutting these things up for a garden project... There are many stones and gravel that have found their way into the cracks and cervices of these weathered-out boards... Overlook one and your chainsaw is toast....
Holy creosote Batman! I hope you did not breathe any of that, and carefully swept up all the dust and buried it far from any running water. I also hope that table will never be used indoors. You should always be concerned around anything organic that can spend 100 years laying on the ground without rotting.
Awesome work! Although, the way you make some of those table saw cuts should keep you up at night. Sure it's technically a rip cut when the board is on its end, but you can use a crosscut sled to keep kickback from occurring instead of standing on the wrong side of the table and hoping for a good outcome. Really they take like 10mins to make. Be safe!
I was trying to explain that railroad ties usually contain creosote and other carcinogens. I would never allow furniture recycled from railroad ties in my home. The worker is really endangering his health because he was not using a respirator and cutting, sanding, planning makes a lot of saw dust. But in the case of railroad ties, creosote and other carcinogens are released. He also did not appear to have protective eyewear and at times handled the ties with his bare hands. Once again creosote can irritate the skin.
Creosote is horrible stuff. Sleepers and old telephone poles containing it must be disposed in toxic waste treatment plant in Europe. It's unbelievable that this kind of videos exists.
Very nice design indeed. It is so good to see that these old retired sleepers are being a given a new life instead of becoming fire wood. BTW would you like to consider completing the good works with a 'Toughened Glass' top?
The pressure must have been very low when they treated them. The ties from the treating plant nearby are treated all the way through. The pressure is high enough in the chamber to absorb around 8 gallons per 7x9x8.5 cross tie. That's part of the reason they are so heavy.
When these ties were produced, there was no such thing as pressure treating. The timber was kiln-dried first and then soaked in a creosote cocktail for preservation.
Last summer the rr tracks were refurbished in my area. They laid out new sleepers for quite a few miles several months prior. This was along the walking and bike path. The creosote sweltering in the summer heat was overwhelming. You literally could not walk there all summer. We should check back in a couple of years and see if any of these people have taken ill from inhaling all that saw dust.
You do realize that railroad ties just sitting there doesn't have saw dust? How would the creosote be worse than when the rr ties were being used? I've been around railroads, railroad ties, & I've used fence posts treated with creosote on the farm for my entire life. The only thing I've gotten from RR ties & fence posts soaked with creosote in 50+ years is creosote getting all over clothing & it doesn't wash out!! Around where i live we use old RR ties for landscaping all the time, never have had any issues, .& we use several ties.
Yeah, progress, the city of Houston made asbestos shingles safe to remove for a few years, you could tear them off and curb the trash and they'd haul it away. A couple of years then behold "studies show they may be harmful. Kind of a tax break for developers
"Ties" and "sleepers" are interchangeable words, with the former being used mostly in the Americas and the latter in the rest of the world. In reality though, what he's using in the video are bridge timbers, and yes, they're much larger than standard ties/sleepers. Another giveaway is the dap on the underside where the timber sits on the bridge girders, regular ties don't have this.
The table has character and is beautiful. Craftsmanship outstanding. I wonder what use is intended for such a piece of furniture. The observations made in comments about dangerous chemicals brings up the idea that the wood could be treated with epoxy.
I appreciate your hard work, I am a bit doubtful about the table design 😕. Anyway these railroad ties would be a good material for some outdoor structure, a fence, a gazebo, stairway rails, a deck, a shack wall cladding
Old railway sleepers commonly are treated with cancer causing products including creosote and PCB’s they would be the worst wood to reclaim for this project.
Nice table. The dirt collected in the cracks of the wood reminds me of how the train toilets used be flushed directly on the railway tracks.
Hahaha yummy. Perfect for a table
😂🤣🤣🤣😝
That was when they used cabooses.
Нічого не змінилося. В Україні все ще багато поїздів, через педальку змивають прямо на колію
@@oldsageratNo, passenger trains had a direct to tracks in each car.
A very beautiful table setting for an heirloom asbestos dinnerware set.
I can feel the burn from the creosote it's the gift that keeps on giving.
Ouch. And now I'm sick!
I believe these are oak woth no creosote.
Can't beat recycling , i recently made a pallet out of an old coffee table
Haha Is this a joke? Never heard of a pallet out of a table but I have heard of a table from a pallet.
@@snarkybuttcrack haha strange times, strange times.
Ouch.
Next up - converting 55/gal radiation waste barrel into a BBQ
Nice table, just finish it off with an asbestos table cloth and some lead tableware and maybe an arsenic table candle and you will be all set.

This lumber is pressure treated with all kind of toxic chemicals to prevent decay. Old barn wood would be much better material for table.
Creosote - nasty, but perhaps worn off
Even more, the toilet were direct drained on the railways at some area in the old days . I'm not sure if it is a good idea to make a table out of it
I agree. I would not advise anyone to use an old railroad tie for furniture. It's bad for the health of the woodworker and the customer

Basically building with hazardous waste. Do not recycle the sawdust or trimmings.
Spend the money for new wood.
Nothing beats the fresh cut smell of creosote in the morning.
😅😅😅

I was searching for "how to destroy your tools" and this came up. I love the way that chainsaw bounced off that spike!
So what?

This video should be taken off youtube as it shows many faults in trying this and may even be harmful to folks trying to recycle old railroad ties.
That's true. The guy is a bit loose with safety standards as well.

Nonsense.
Obviously you do not know what you are talking about! @@boozieboise
For that authentic rail yard smell, just add wintergreen tobacco and axle grease.
Nice cuts. Interesting to see how the pieces are cut from the tie.
He should have recycled it into something he will need …like a coffin, after exposure to all those airborne chemicals
Absolutely beautiful table.
Yay! Let's make furniture out of wood that's totally saturated with toxic chemicals and heavy metals!
I'm sure you suck on a vaporizer all day though
Enjoy your meal and cancer!
Watching someone work with this contaminated wood is beyond comprehension.
Finally a woodworker that didn't use resin to fill the cracks. Nice work. Very nice table. Thanks for sharing this and your talents.
And seal in all those poor termites?
What's wrong with resin???
But have fun cleaning crumbs out of the cracks!
Looks very nice. Good work. But it's insane to breath this sawdust 😳
I thought these where soaked in creosote and toxic?? I wouldn't use one for anything
this material is carcinogenic. quite dangerous, indeed.
It's only toxic if you eat it. Old weathered railroad ties pose little to no risk.
That's not true.
Really nasty stuff in these, how else do they last 50 years outside
The amount of rod and degradation of the ties suggests they were likely untreated, or only treated on the outside. Termites wouldn't move in were it treated through and through.
Cuántos hay que ni mesa tienen muy bella arte .

Thank you for watching the video. Wish you good health
Above all there ist a lot of highly toxic stuff in old railway ties ... 🤮🤮🤮
Thats a good table it goes to show you that you can recycle ♻️ anything old and make it new again
Imagine what they could do with the Chernobyl refuse.

Amazing work.

Unique, original and beautiful.
... and highly toxic 😱😱😱
Beautiful table mate though I personally loathe seeing someone with so much talent. Kudos.
Wow! That is Craftsmanship!
This kind of wood is naturally treated by environment. They will last forever.! Thanks
Thank you for watching the video. Wish you good health

And all the family with cancer.... oh God!!!
And no mask while cutting....

nice termites
Haha , I see the termites eating from the table inside .
Креозот и человеческие испражнения- лучшее ,что можно придумать для стола
Thats a real good idea out west yoi might find some made with redwood. Woildnt that be cool.
Anyone else notice the termites what a great product if you want to risk destroying your home
He is going to sell it to a costumer, obviously.
The coating of DDT killed those.
So the termites would be in the finished project
I didn't get that far, in the first ten seconds all I can see is how loose that chain is...
Nice,again
Very nice design indeed. It is so good to see that these old retired sleepers are being a given a new life instead of becoming fire wood. BTW would you like to consider completing the good works with a 'Toughened Glass' top?
In the EU using railway sleepers for furniture is strictly forbidden, because of the chemicals used to make them weather resistant.
Thank. We are always trying to improve. We wish you good health
Questo tavolo e i piedi sono bellissimi
It’s amazing using power tools to make such accurate joints. Thanks
Thank you for watching the video. Wish you good health
The table looked beautiful, but it should never have been made.creosote

Really a bad choice of wood. Crudely made.
Old telephone poles are similar. Try burning one for firewood.

The preservatives used in railroad sleepers are usually quite toxic. This wood should not be reused for anything, let alone indoor furniture.
