- Recently I was tagged by good friend Rick from RickT Outdoor/Adventure. The tag was to make an item of camp furniture or something useful to have around camp. No pot hangers or tripods. So in this video I attempt to make a table of sorts from scrap timber that was destined for the fire. It was a nice project to do and I would like to thank Rick for the invitation to do it. I will leave it as an open tag for anyone that may be interested in having ago yourself. Links to some of the kit used in the video are listed below. Thanks for watching...……

Absolutely stellar Mark. Thanks for sharing! Some "X" shaped struts on the sides would all but eliminate your wobble. Looking forward to the spirit burner stand!
Hi JT, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment :) It is nice to hear from you. Yeah I was thinking the same about X struts. I will be back up in a day or two an fix it :) I hope you are having a nice weekend. Take care, all the best, Mark :)
Very cool! Each video is a treasure. Looking forward to the next one, Mark!
Hi Rich, many thanks for watching and for the kind words. It is always nice to hear from you :) I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I should be out early next week. So there should be another one soon. I hope you are having a nice weekend, all the best, Mark :)
Thanks Mark Great upload as always, As a man who could cut down a 400 year old Oak tree and end up with an unusable Spoon its good to see someone make something useful from nothing. Have a great week Brother all the Best to You and Yours.
Hi Brother, I hope you have had a nice weekend :) LOL, that comment made me laugh..... I'm sure you could at least get a spatula out of it. If not good shavings lol. Many thanks as always for watching and for taking the time to comment. It is always great to hear from you :) Have a great week too. All the best, Mark :)
As always Mark, really high quality and so enjoyable to watch. I bet you are a fantastic instructor. Also you are incredibly patient. Thanks for the share mate 👍 Cheers Sel
Hi Sel, I hope you are keeping well mate :) I'm glad you found the video enjoyable mate. LOL, I'm only patient when it comes to things I enjoy doing. Anything else I get as stressed as the next man lol. But I can spend all day undoing tangles and carving notches. Thanks a s always for taking the time..... I hope work is still going well. Have a great week, all the best, Mark :)
Una mesa excelente...amigo..Gracias por enseñar a construirla....algo más para mis prácticas..mil gracias saludos desde ARGENTINA.
Wow, Argentina.
Hi Viviana, many thanks for watching and for the comment :) It is always great to hear from you. I'm glad you enjoyed the table and I hope you manage to make one yourself :) Have a great weekend, all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 gracias amigo igual ..tu buen finde semana..y buena vida
Looks great Mark, some excellent work. I hope you are having a good weekend, I am, but currently in a flooded camp in the Scottish Highlands 😂 so this video has really entertained me, while I sit out the weather. Take care Mark, thanks for sharing 👍 🙂
Hi Mike, I hope you are keeping well mate and the floods have subsided a bit for you ;) It has been wet all day in Wales too. I love it up in Scotland. I spent years fishing and wild camping up there :) Great days. I'm glad the video kept you entertained Mike :) I hope you get back out of camp OK. Thanks for taking the time mate, all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 thanks Mark, my shelter did get waterlogged which meant sleeping in a car. But the next day was wonderful, got my gear dry and wild camped under some trees. Take care Mark 👍 🙂
looking good Mark!!! Thanks for the video. Have an awesome weekend.
Thanks G B, it is always great to hear from you :) Have a great weekend, all the best, Mark :)
Excellent video, and great table. One thing I have noticed in my time is that strait wood is a myth. Wood will twist and bend after you cut it as well. But everything I have made in the bush is stronger, and last longer than I ever thought possible. That table will be around for a long time. Good tip on using seasoned dowels.
Hi Derek, many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, it is always nice to hear from you :) I agree about the wood. Using wood straight from the tree is hardly ever straight anyway. The amount if times I have seen a straight piece and cut it down only to find it has a bow or twist in it. I suppose that's why, when they used to make wooden arrows they used to straighten the shafts with heat to manipulate it straight. Hopefully the table will last a while :) I will fix the wobble then crack on with a couple of thrones :) Have a great weekend, all the best, Mark.
Nice project and a good day out
Cheers Stuart :) I hope you are keeping well mate. Have a great weekend, all the best, Mark :)
Hi Mark... If you're not careful mate you'll find yourself being head hunted by Ikea. Great job on the table and video. I hope you have a great weekend and thanks for sharing. Be safe and be lucky, Wol.
Hi Wol, I hope you are keeping week mate :) LOL, I don't think my skills would be enough to make one of those IKEA flat packs lol. I hope you have a great weekend too mate, all the best, Mark :) P.S I have just noticed you have uploaded a new video. I will watch it in a bit when I've replied to the comments :)
Mate what a great a project buddy gives me some Ideas to play with when I'm next in the woods thanks for sharing Mark as always loved the video
Hi Andrew, many thanks for watching and for the comment :) It is always great to hear from you. Yeah I enjoy things like this. I don't spend enough time making things. So it is a nice change :) I hope you are having a nice weekend mate, all the best, Mark :)
Very nice job Mark good video again love when you make stuff thanks!!!
Thanks Robert, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I like making things on video (when it works lol), I have got a few other ideas for up and coming vids :) Thanks for taking the time to watch and for the comment. It is always great to hear from you, all the best, Mark :)
Great job on this table brother. Your videos are always a pleasure to watch. keep up the good work.
Thanks Eric :) I hope you are having a nice weekend brother, all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 I'm having a great weekend brother, and I hope yours is a great one as well.
Hi Mark some nice techniques used there. I'm in the process of building a few bits for my own camp over the next few months. Triangle trusses will help sturdy the table up!
Hi Rustic Artisan, nice idea :) I didn't think of triangle trusses. I was thinking of adding a couple of X shapes, but I might try the triangle shape. Thanks for the tip :) Thanks for watching and taking the time, all the best, Mark :)
Hi Mark! A lot of work on all these notches. But the table is looking nice. ATB André
Hi Andre, I hope you are keeping well and having a nice weekend :) Yeah tell me about it lol. I think I must of done about 30 notches. Anymore and it would probably collapse lol. Thanks for watching and for the comment brother. It is always great to hear from you. All the best, Mark :)
This was a good video mate I've never thought to make dowels to keep stuff sturdy but that's a really good idea. I'll have to remember that next time I'm building In the woods. Take care buddy. All the best. Chris
Hi Chris, I hope you are keeping well mate :) Cheers for watching and for the comment, it is always great to hear from you :) Yeah they are dead easy to make. Plus if you are short on cordage it is another way to hold things together :) I will be in touch soon about that mask Chris. Have a great weekend, all the best, Mark :)
Great job Marc good to see you out messing about, great project. hope to get out next weekend back to base camp and work on a kitchen station
thanks for sharing take care brother
atb john
Hi John, I hope you are keeping well. I will look forward to watching that if you record it :) It's been good to see you get out on your Kayaks as well. All great stuff. Get it done before the cold weather arrives lol. Have a great weekend John, all the best, Mark :)
Absolutely brilliant job Mark, I knew and had no doubt you were going to do a great job of it . You're a true Woodsman for sure with great skills and it's always a pleasure to see you put them into practice 👍. Thanks for doing the Tag 🙂, I chose well . Have a top weekend Mark, hope it's a bit easier than last weeks 20 kids n lady's fishing day 😀👊. Speak soon mate
Hi Rick, I hope you a Keeping good mate and the treatment is going well :) I keep thinking about you and have got my fingers crossed everything goes OK :) I'm sure it will!!!! Yeah thanks for the tag mate. I enjoyed doing it. Now all's that I need is a chair lol. Hopefully my weekend won't be a manic this week. One of the women I found out was off Loose Women, I have taught quite a few TV celebs, but most them aren't interested in the fishing, they just want the wine and whisky lol. Have a steady weekend mate. I hope your resting :) All the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 not bad Mark, feeling it a bit now though mate. It's not stopping me getting out int forest though 😉. Haha loose women eh lol. You might get an invite to go on the show lol. I've managed to avoid it mostly even though I'm in and out at the moment . Was thinking of getting a stamped steel pan/ skillet. Do you recommend the one you did a review on ? I'll have a look back through your films but think I remember you reviewing one. Could do with one, especially one not too heavy as well. Knocked a fruit leather up int forest today and a bit if bread, just chilling really, made a couple of nettle bracelets with trinkets on etc, just a chilled out afternoon around a fire 🙂🔥. Have a top weekend Mark 👍
@@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969 Hi Rick, Yeah the stamped steel skillets are great. They are made by Bromwell. You can usually buy a set of two of eBay. Go for the larger sizes as they can be quite small. I'm glad you are still getting out mate. The fresh air is what's needed. Especially if you have been stuck in the drs and hospital. Speak soon mate, all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 yeah cheers Mark, not many about, looking for that steel option without too much weight. Can't find a British supplier at the moment. I'll have another butcher's later. Hope you're having a top weekend 🙂👍
@@RickTOutdoorAdventure1969 Hi Rick :) Yeah I think most of the sellers are in the US. Wade kindly sent me mine, as the postage was about £30.00 from the seller :( I will keep my eyes open for you mate :)
Nowt wrong with flintstone technology, great stuff Mark.
Hi Shane...… I agree mate, flintstone technology rocks lol. I'm sure all tables were made like this before the invention of IKEA ;) Thanks for watching mate and have a great weekend, all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 the swiss army knife is great tool check out Felix Himmler UA-cam swiss army knife channel 👍🐺🐾 great content you has too I recommend the samurai folding saw its crazy sharp
Hi Mark, nice video buddy! Neat work, I'd expect nothing less from you!👊 Its very handy to have a table isnt it, a real luxury in the woods.
Take care, see you soon and keep em coming brother!✌🌳
Hi Wade, I hope you are keeping well brother :) many thanks for watching and for the comment..... it is always great to hear from you :) I agree a table and a chair make it feel like home. That will be my next job I think. Somewhere to sit instead of in the dirt or on s tree stump lol. Have a great weekend mate, all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 You too buddy, sitting in the dirt was fun about 50 yrs ago haha! ✌
Nice end result Mark from basic materials. There is real craft in that. I tell you one thing I always like how you get the camera angles right so we can appreciate the build. Good going. Mark
Hi Mark, Many thanks for watching and for the comment. It is always nice to hear from you :) The camera angles are luck lol. I am always impressed with the way your videos look and turn out. I love digital cameras. They have made so many people into good photographers and film makers who perhaps would never have done anything like this. I hope you are having a nice weekend. Speak soon, all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 A real pleasure Mark to watch and listen to you mate. Yeah I never new I had a skill for telling stories via the camera....many have come out of their shells. My weekend? A beautiful walk and paddle in the river today.
Hi Mark, fantastic work there on that table bud. I think I’ll be following this tutorial and make it Charlie and I next project 👍. Robust and pretty much looks as though it will hold anything on it.
Thanks for sharing mate and look forward to the next video featuring the fire ring. Cheers mate, Ant.
Hi Ant, I hope you are having a nice weekend mate :) Yeah it is a nice project to do. One thing you will notice is how crooked most wood is when you are looking for straight lengths lol. I'm sure Charlie would enjoy it and it would be something he can be proud of making :) Thanks for watching Ant and for the comment. It is always great to hear from you mate :) All the best, Mark.
Mark Bailey oh yeah tell me about it lol I had to bring in straight wood from another forest when we made the chair haha.
Cheers bud 👍
Good job!
Cheers David 👍. Many thanks for watching, all the best, Mark 🌲🌲🌲🌲😀👍.
Another Great vid mate !!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Cheers Andrew :) I hope you are keeping well mate :) All the best, Mark:)
Hi Mark hoping you're keeping well mate great video as always
Hi Shaun, all good here thanks :) Well a bit knackered after working and a filling has dropped out, but nothing a brew can't fix lol. I hope you are having a nice weekend mate and keeping well. Thanks for watching and for the comment. It is always great to hear from you mate, all the best, Mark :)
Nice table! Subscribed! Thank you for sharing!
Hi Paddling Tramp, many thanks for watching and for the sub..... it is very much appreciated 👍. Have a great day, all the best, Mark 👍😀.
Great project Mark I really love it well done mate. Cheers for sharing. -joel
Hi Joel, I hope you are keeping well brother :) Many thanks for watching and for the comment..... it is always great to hear form you :) It was a nice project to do. My hands are a bit sore from boring holes, but it is all good stuff :) have a great weekend, all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 Happy Weekend my Friend. GOD BLESS!
Hi. Friend dear. Have a nice 😃 Weekend 😃. Connect together, develop together. well done man, a lot of work on all these notches, thanks for sharing . God bless all of you
Hi Nguoi Xa Que, many thanks for watching and for the kind comment :) It is great to hear from you. I hope you have had a great weekend, all the best, Mark :)
Great job Mark it’s a bit like the one myself and joe made at our camp ATB 👍
Hi Trev, I hope you are keeping well ,mate and enjoying the nice weather you are having up your way :) Cheers for taking the time to watch and for the comment :) It is always great to hear from you Trev. All the best, Mark :)
Great table Mark I wish I could make things like that but I'm useless at that kind of stuff but I will attempt it one day on my bushcraft channel although I've not put a video on that channel for ages now. Would be good to see you building more things a shelter would be great and I'm sure it would be a great shelter to😁👍
Cheers Carl :) I still need to do a bit too it to stop the wobble. But it turned out OK. I agree, I should be making more of the area and turning it into more of a camp. I need a couple of seats, so that will be on the cards soon :) As daft as it seems, the hardest thing is finding suitable wood for the projects. Most if these pine woods don't tend to have a decent selection of different woods to use. The Pine branches here are usually 40ft up in the air and hardly ever straight. But I will have a good look around once things start dying back a bit and I can get deeper into the woods :) Have a great day Carl..... all the best mate, Mark :)
You have the patience of a saint, i would have made another cheese board LOL.. Mark your table is certainly fit for purpose and without any form of criticism what so ever may i recommend some diagonal braces to stop the wobble (just have a sneaky look at some scaffolding next time your passing some and you will see what I mean ) enjoyed the build mate, regards Matt
Hi Matt, I hope you are keeping well mate and having a nice weekend :) Many thanks for watching and taking the time to comment...… it is always great to hear from you :) You read my mind!! Well, someone else mentioned a couple of X braces LOL. I nearly got round to it when I was last there, but you know how the tea drinking can get in the way of hard work ;) I will get too it when I'm next out. I've just got in from work with some kind of disease. A cold!!! So hopefully it will be sooner than later. Always great to catch up with you Matt :) have a great day mate, all the best, Mark :)
Great job but Just add diagonals instead of the horizontal framing for better rigidity. Probably only need to do it to two sides.
Hi Alan, I agree. The horizontal bars were more for hanging things on. But I will be calling back to the fishery over the weekend, so I will see what I can scrounge again before it gets burnt :) Have a great weekend, all the best, Mark :)
Mark Bailey you can put the diagonals on the side. And even just in the corners. Have a good one.
Im interested in the fire ring for the spirit burner , I have a generic alocs and the stand isn't great. Yet it has one
Hi Donald, I hope you are having a nice weekend :) Many thanks for watching and for the comment. It is always great to hear from you. I should be out this make to make the video, so it should be up soon. Take care, all the best, Mark :)
Nice project 👍🏻
There’s a funky chap who made a table top just using a Swiss Army knife. I’ll find it and drop it in here for you. Interesting dovetail 👍🏻
Thanks for sharing. 👌🏻

I sent it first class yesterday :) Cheers Michael, all the best, Mark :)
Mark Thanks 🙏🏻
The guy is wacky but his points are good.
Your package was posted second class Saturday so should be with you anytime knowing Royal Mail. 👍🏻
@@Yorkshiremadmick I just watched him. Great pointers and tips. I might try the cutting board and the rake looked interesting :) Yeah good old royal mail. I tried to send something GAURUNTEED next day by 1pm. Until they said they couldn't guarantee it will be there for 1pm LOL. The worlds gone to pot. Thanks Michael, have a great day mate :)
It’s just landed (well I was out with the hound) it was on the door mat waiting for me.
It’s beautiful Mark and the knife fits a treat. Soft supple and amazing contrast stitch ❤️
Love it, in my pocket already a big
THANK YOU 🙏🏻
Cracking video as usual mate. Never managed the rally in wales ended up in a&e with my back couldn't feel anything waist down turns out to be sciatica. Il catch up with you one day pal. All the best Dave
Good evening Dave, I hope you are feeling better mate :( Sciatica isn't what you needed!! My mate had it for years. When he ended up seeing someone about it, it turned out it was his wallet in his back pocket had been pushing on the nerve. No worries about not coming mate. Yeah we will deffo meet up mate :) Enjoy the rest of the weekend, all the best, Mark :)
@@markbailey2981 its eased off loads but god am I bored. Is wallet lol he must be loaded ( I dont have that problem) just stuck on things to do at the moment luckily I've had hardly any work on so been resting but not used to sitting idle 😭
@@MrRealdealdd I'm glad it eased off mate. Enjoy your time off and rest. I'm sure you will soon be hard at it again mate and wishing for a break lol :) Take care Dave :)
Hello Mark, Hope you're keeping well. Great video as ever, brilliant looking table with some great joints made with the knife. Not started the leather tinder pouch yet, still on the "Things To Do List" lol ): By the way do you get your leather supplies in Bakewell or Matlock? I use Identity Leather in Matlock. Cheers for now Mel Clarke
Hi Mel, I hope you are keeping well mate and had a nice weekend :) Yes I have used the Identity store in Matlock a few times. I sometimes pop in on the way to Bakewell if I am going to the Woodland ways shop. They have a nice range of leather and tools etc and it's nice to call in and see what you are buying. Another place I use is Artisan leather supplies. She is in Devon, but it is all on line anyway. I will leave a link as she does smaller pieces of leather which are a decent price and they are always at the door the following day :) www.artisanleather.co.uk/ Many thanks for watching Mel and taking the time to comment :) All the best, Mark.
@@markbailey2981 Hi Mark, Thanks for the link to Artisan Leather it's appreciated I'll check it out. Take care and all the best Mel
