Making a Wood and Metal Side Table End Tables
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- Building an Industrial Style side table end table using reclaimed pallet wood and metal.
To add to the industrial feel, I added steel gusset plates and rivets. The wood was stained then treated with a clear satin finish. The metal was brought to a semi-bright finish using flap discs supplied by United Abrasives. After the metal was cleaned it was then treated with a paste wax to resist fingerprints and prevent rust.

Brandon Lund 😂😂😂😂😂 you just gained a subscriber
Thank you!
Great response! Lol. Great build too.
@@BrandonLund Boom love the response...............
Honestly, how can one dislike this clip ? This is for me one of them every REAL man will like not only to watch but also to share. The final product is awesome !!!
+Ricardo Amarante Fernandes ^^^ AWESOME comment! Thanks for the support!
love the epoxy idea with the pallet wood. it still looks rustic and at the same time looks very smooth with no compromise on either side.
+james boyd Your absolutely spot on! It's the best thing I've found when using it on pallet wood for the reason you pointed out, that it still retains its rustic look. It's also extremely stable (no cracking) during season changes. Thanks for watching!
Love the look, nice job! That Pallet wood scrubbed up pretty darn good!
+Scott Turner Thanks! It's a lot of work but pretty satisfying when your all done. Thanks for watching!
Nicely done Brandon. Congratulations
+Silvaraci Designer - USA Thank you and thanks for watching!
U R WELCOME
Wow, you made a lot of those little false rivet gusset plates. They really dress up the project, nice work.
+Yvan Roy Thanks! Yeah it was a lot of work. What you don't see is that I was actually making 2 of these simultaneously, so it was quite time consuming to build. Thank you for the nice complimen!
Hey Brandon, some folks just can't stand to see someone built quality things. I really liked your build of the end tables and would imagine they will be around long after we have all thought possible. It's a shame there are people out there who love to stir up hate or just make nasty comments because they think it's funny but they don't realize they are just showing their ignorance.
Keep up the good work and helping people to learn to weld in some form. I'm paying attention to the stick welding and learning from your lessons. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks man! Yah for the most part people are pretty respectful on this channel but occasionally someone will chime in with something that is disrespectful or hateful and I block or ban them from the channel. Haters can hate, they just wont be doing it here :) I'm glad you are enjoying the welding series. I love hearing when people find some of the stuff on the channel useful. Take care buddy and thanks for the great comment!
I enjoy wood and metal combos but man this guy is good! Nice work and video
Thanks .an! Much appreciated! 🙏👍😁
Good job. These came out real nice.
+Carter Wilson Workshop Thank you! It was a lot of work but a lot of fun too.
How in the heck do you not have 100,000 subs! You got my sub keep up the good work this project is awesome!
+Chantz Fabz Thanks man, you just made my day!!!
I'm gonna be making some furniture hopefully soon if I quit working so many hours! And you have me a bunch of cool ideas
+Chantz Fabz I love building stuff! Thanks for the sub! Subbed back!
+Chantz Fabz I love building stuff! Thanks for the sub! Subbed back!
I'd guess it's because of the dominant music. People enjoy watching stuff like this, but either with comments, instructions or just the sound of the work. If I want music I have my own. If that makes sense.
Nice job Mr.
+jon hayward Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! If you enjoyed this one, stay tuned. I have another "furniture build" being released in 2 weeks.
That's a lot of tedious work, but darn well worth the effort. Looks great! Looking for ideas as my son and I are planning a studio desk build for his recording studio. Love this look.
That sounds like an awesome look and vibe for a recording studio! I like it! Thanks for your support and kind words!
Beautiful work Brandon!
Thank you Rick!
Just plain beautiful !!!!!
Mojo Devirus thank you very much!
This is a beautiful table. Are you a professional welder or just a real good DIY'er?
Thank you. I'm neither. I got out of the trades 15 years ago. Now I just tinker to relax.
Great job ;-)
Thank you! I sure was a lot of fun!
really like what you've done here well done
+Simon Hopkins Thank you and thanks for watching. This was one of my favorite projects to build.
Very tidy work, its satisfying to build your own stuff. I see people commenting about the welded on rivets like it really matters. Its a furniture piece for show. I seen in another comment you would sell this for $100. I'd say that would retail in those fancy boutique city shops for anywhere between $400-500.
I would tend to agree with you! There are always those people in this world that would complain about having to pay taxes if they won the lottery lol. For the most part, people are very respectful on this channel. Thanks for watching and I appreciate your support!
Shoot, seen similar products built cheaper sold for $900-$1,000 and if you sold the set... $2,500-$2,600 easily. It's not about price gouging! It's about what type of person your marketing towards!
Awesome work. Nice tables👌🏼
Thanks man! Stay tuned for Sunday when I will be releasing my latest welding video!
cool video. Thank you!
+CT moog Thank you for the support!
what do you call those wedge looking pieces at the corners? I really enjoyed watching this btw, it was pretty self explanatory what you were doing, so no need for instructions imo
+Alex Liaskos Thanks for watching Alex! Those corner pieces are called "gusset plates". They are typically used to strengthen a connection. In this application it was purely decorative though.
yes Im looking to use them as decorative as well, but I wanted to get some inspiration and I didn't know how to look them up. thanks for the info!
This was awesome!! Would’ve loved a tutorial. Not good enough to see it and figure out myself.
Thank you very much! I have had a few folks mention that a tutorial would be helpful and I have to agree. Expect to see this coming soon! Thank you for your support.
Beautiful job!
+Ian Knottenbelt Thank you Ian! This was one of my "earlier" videos but it was a lot of fun!
I really like the look of this. You didn't put some sort of finish on the metal parts? Clear coat or similar? Won't it rust?
+Robert Steen Thanks man. On this one I didnt use anything and you have to be careful with drinks or any spills. I built a matching coffee table and used furniture paste wax and that worked really well. The microwave cart video I used clear enamel. That is the best protection but it doesn't patina like the bare or wax treated metal.
sick...... I like that
+Henry Sanchez Love this comment! Thanks for watching!
It's Awesome. Art, incredible, looks simple, rustic, but I know a whole lot of efforts have gone in. Keep rocking.
Thanks brother much appreciated!
Great job i like your care with fine details that made final product looks really good. Nice video making as well.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful tables. I’ve been wondering how to do those decorative gussets
Love those.
Thanks for the effort making your content
Thanks Kevin! I appreciate your kinds words and support!
love it..really matches the living space. subd!
+How I made Thank you and thanks for watching!
Stupendo.... Sei stato Veramente bravo ottimo lavoro..
Ramon Panetta Thank you and thanks for watching!
Will the surface rust bring it more character?
It depends on the look your going for. Apply paste furniture wax if you want the raw metal look or leave it bare if you want it to gradually oxidize. Its personal preference really
Great job, nice table. Had to turn the volume to 0.
Thanks man. We all have to start somewhere. This was one of my 1st videos.
Dang Brandon I love it.
Thanks man! Stay tuned on the 25th, I'm releasing what I belive is the best project to date. I've had to hold off posting videos lately because a lot of the things I've been building are presents. Appreciate the kind comment. Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays.
good work bro
+Alex Barnoya Thanks man!
Great job. Just wondering what you call them little half round pieces, that you welded in the corner plates? Thanks
+Larry Wright Thanks for watching Larry. Those are steel rivets that I found on ebay...kinda like the rivets you see on bridges, but a lot smaller. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Brandon
Can you tell me what size you used> Thanks
Super cool!
+La Imagería Thank you! I appreciate your support!
Nice work! Looks like we have some similarities :)
+ZH Fabrications Hahaha, too funny. I just checked out your page. Thanks for your comment!
I loved this video.
Thanks Chris!
Oh wow great build, that thing looks awesome! How long did it take to make from start to finish?
AGuyNamedAaron thanks man! I probably have a full day in it...maybe a little more
I like the tunes
+jimmy may Thanks man!
Doug sent me, awesome build mate 👍🏻
Thanks man! I appreciate your support! Which Doug sent you? I want to be sure I;m thanking the proper person :)
Doug from Artfully Rogue, He had a shout out for you on one of his vids, that got me here and earned you a sub..
Great job! Will you be doing more videos like this soon?
+Best Access Doors Thank you! I'm always doing something unusual on my channel, so be sure to check back often. If you want to see a simular project, look for the "Industrial Cart" video.
This is Awesome bro. Can you tell me what that was you used to fill the voids between the pieces of wood? Thanks for sharing.
+Rickey Racer thanks man! The stuff I used to fill the voids is a 2 part epoxy. You can get it at just about any hardware or big box store. This is the stuff I used in the video. www.esslinger.com/devcon-high-strength-5-minute-epoxy-1500psi-9oz-in-2-bottles/?gclid=Cj0KEQjwx6TJBRCWtsiXpI7bhOYBEiQA1en3F4da1xkY-YFn82FfoHuOhIV2ZN1JOTuMO7poQ0cbBBMaAr2g8P8HAQ
Thank You, I look forward to checking out more of your cool builds.
Thanks man, I've got my first build series coming up soon. It should be interesting. BTW, I'm not sure if your in the states, but home depot carries it for around $12.00. The bottles don't look big but it goes a long ways. This setup lasts me about a year. Take care.
What did you use for the rivets look? did you cut those down? Thanks!!
+muonwap I actually found the rivets on ebay and cut them to the proper length. For this project I used 5/16" round head rivets. No matter what you find for rivets, you will likely have to cut them. The shortest I have found are 1/4" and that's still too long.
Awesome. Thank you!!!
muonwap Thanks for watching!
What grade of steel tubing did you use A-500 or A-513…or something other?
Probably A36
Very nice.
Thank you very much!
What wax paste did you use?
Minwax
Love the video. Is it easier to make your tops first and tack the steel around the frame. I always have an issue with a nice fit.
+C Kobesko Thank you. I like doing the tops this way because there is no need to make precise cuts on the wood. The metal overlaps the wood enough all the way around.
C Kobesko 60porno uu
I'm not sure what you said?
Fantastic work Brandon. Really impressive. Well done, I’m hooked and subbed. Regards Paul.
Paul Boyle Thank you very much for the kind words and support!
What is the product name of the finish you put on the metal. Did it darken it too?
+Amy Freytag Krohn for this project I just coated the bare metal with wax. Yes it darkened it a little but not much. It has darkened since I have made the video though.
Where did you get the metal buttons ( Plugs )
Blacksmithbolt.com
Excellent Job
Thank you! 👍
Wouldn’t actually rivets been easier/stronger?
These are actual steel rivets. They are just for decoration though.
Brandon Lund beautiful job dude!
Thanks buddy!
What kind of welding machine is this
Hobart 140
hello this is a very great job.
please can you write me the model of your welding?
have a good day
enjoy😊
+Vincenzo barba Thanks! The welder I'm using for this project is a Hobart Handler 140
Did you shorten the plugs by cutting off the head and what size were they.
If I remember correctly they were the shortest 1/4" rivets I could find but I still had to cut them shorter.
what were your angle iron dimensions?
+Preston Fairchild 1 1/2" x 1/8"
Where do you get the metal rivets? Looks great!
UNKPCRIDE Thank you! www.ebay.com/itm/282367600541
UNKPCRIDE muli rodil naval
What size were those square plates before you cut the 45 on them
+John Coonradt jr.5 3 1/2"
nice!
+iiinsaiii Thank you!
great skills and result! but work on the video technics and choose another music!
+Tradstone701 Thank you. This was pretty much my first real build video, so it was a learning experience for me. I try to get better with each video I do.
This looks like what I saw on woodpri... Joking. This is the real deal. Well done. Which mechanic gloves are those?? And what epoxy did you use filling the cracks and holes? Westsystems?
Edit: found the epoxy in comments below. Thanks.
I started to read your "WoodPrix" comment and thought "here we go again", then I read it further lol It made me chuckle so thanks for the laugh :) These are just the original Mechanic Gloves but now I just buy a 3 pack of the mechanic gloves knock off's at Home Depot and have been real happy with them... they cast a lot less and last just as long. Thanks for the SUB! Much appreciated!
Great job what did you put on your metal a clear or nothing at all
I use just regular furniture past wax (if you click my workshop tools link in the description it will take you to an Amazon link where most of the stuff I use is listed). You apply it just like wax on a car. It repels rust and staining for about a couple years of regular use then you just apply it again.
Nice!
+jerichomozart Thank you very much!
What did you cut with the plasma cutter?
Bettina sorry. I missed the mark on that. Good eye! The plate steel for the corner gussets had to be trimmed to the proper width prior to me going back and cutting them to length. I was using the plasma cutter to speed up that process. I could have avoided that step simply by using 4” flat bar rather than making flat bar from my scrap pile.
Sweet
Thank you very much Todd!
Forgive my ignorance but are you spot welding or mig welding? I can't tell.
+Justin Ciriello The process is MIG welding, but there are times when I was "spot welding" (also known as "tack welding") when I was getting everything fit up prior to the finish weld. I hope I answered your question and thanks for watching!
Yep, that explains my confusion in the beginning. Thangs a ton.
+Justin Ciriello glad I could help man!
COOL !!
+idaslpdhr Thanks!
What did you use for the bottom of the wood?
Maison Messer that's just some 1/2" mdf to help support the thin pallet wood. If the pallet wood was thicker, I could have avoided this step.
I assume these are being made for yourselves, right?
Yah, I don't do custom orders. Most of the stuff I make I either keep or donate to charity or family. I recently built an industrial coffee table and donated it to an auction where the funds were used to send some special needs folks to summer camp. I have a video of that on here somewhere. Thanks for watching!
What size rivets are u using
1/4" steel rivets and I get them here. www.blacksmithbolt.com/
Nice work!! Bravo!!
Perro Dinamita thank you!
which welder do you have?
+trevonmc32 Thanks for watching. I'm using a Hobart Handler 140 for this project.
what material is used to seal the holes in the minute 4.22 of the video
Gonzalo Medina Its a 2 part epoxy that I mixed up and put inside a general purpose injection nozzle. The epoxy I'm using in this video is made by Devcon. The nozzle did not work good. Just mix it up and put it on with a putty knife :)
Brandon Lund Thank you very much for the answer, and for the video, the table is very nice
+Gonzalo Medina Thank you very much!
What were those little 3 pieces of metal that you welded to the metal plate? Were those just screws?
Hey there! Those were steel rivets that I was using. I just gut them off and welded them on the backside for decoration.
@@BrandonLund Cool, thanks.
Hey, i’m looking to build something similar. Definitely not the same but if you could share some dimensions with me that’d be awesome. I have an advanced metal shop project and i’m going into this knowing nothing lol
Liv Schuster in there beginning he has some blue prints, that I copied.
Nice and Good job !!!
Thank you very much!
good job god blesyou
+CIRCULO ESPACIAL Thank you and same to you!
Думаю, что сварка должна быть изнутри, а то и сварка и заклёпки.
All of the welding was done inside. Thanks for watching! :)
6-43 It's done well, I like it, I try to do it. )))
+Михаил Мск Thank you!
Couldn't tolerate the music long enough to get to the end of the video. Guess I'll never know how it turned out.
+TT OKC probably a good idea to move along then!
The music was too much for me. Would've totally dug it if you would've cut the music and just talked about what you were doing in the video.
Robert McLogan I actually agree with you. This was one of the very first videos I uploaded to youtube when I was first starting out. Now I try to add narration with a lot less background music. I truly appreciate your respectful critique. I have been meaning to actually do what you suggested and add narration but new video ideas pop up faster than I can keep up :) Thank you for watching and enjoy your weekend!
Excellent to see that woodprix has new plans what helped me save some money and energy to build it.
What is it with you guys and wood pricks? Do they pay you to say this nonsense?
Thanks
Read this before you even think about that woodprix garbage. woodgears.ca/ted/
@@jstarone thank you! I get that nonsense on my channel constantly. Thanks for shedding some light on it!
Thank you Vadym. Pure awesomeness!
Awesome
Thanks Leo!
How much $ does that sell for?
Daniel Balfour I haven’t tried selling them but based on time and material I would say no less than $100
What gauge/thickness steel are you using there? I noticed you've got a HH140. How well does it handle in your experience?
What kind of rivets do you use?
Ole-Morten Elstad I used 5/16" Steel rivets that I found on ebay.
Cool. Really love the table. Want to make one myself. You wouldn't happen to have a link to the auction? :)
Ole-Morten Elstad sorry, I looked to see if I could find the link and no luck. If you search 5/16 steel rivet on ebay it should come up. You will not find a rivet short enough so you will have to cut them like i did. Just look at the head of the rivets and the rest you cut off. If you can't find them, let me know and I will dig a little deeper for you.
Thanks. I'll have a look. I will have a look at your other videos aswell. Good work. :)
Beautiful project, great vid. But for all that is Holy, get rid of that music. Lol
What he said about the noise-NOT music.
Oh geeze man I just watched this one after that other one. SAFTEY! You’re not wearing gloves. Do you like getting your hands burnt? 😂
I appreciate your concern. At 53 years old and working with tools my entire life, I have a very high degree of awareness. Maybe someday it will bite me but we all have our own comfort level.
@@BrandonLund I’m sure you do and probably like most of us sometimes you just take a short cut and don’t do what you should. I’m 74 and STILL do stupid things time to time lol.
The music 😢
nice but why didn't you use real rivets , the fake rivets make it fake
ll c the store was having a sale on "fake rivets" that day so I ordered a bunch ;)
I like the overall design. But why not go with real rivets...taking your tables to the next level? Welds and rivets on the same piece looks odd IMHO.
Because I built it for me and I liked the looks of it.
@@BrandonLund- Touchy. Sorry, but it just doesn't pass off as "vintage" with the exposed weld and rivet combo. But then again, I'm of an older vintage than you.
@@mikeca98 it's all good. I could have easily used the rivets to anchor everything together but like I said, I liked the looks of the mixed processes. As they say, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I like it just fine...
@@christopherhachet8204- Okay. What's up with those female obsessed playlists on your channel?
Yikes, you really need to use push sticks on that table saw... very bad things can happen to your fingers if you don't respect the equipment and use proper safety gear.
+Brian Greul I Completely agree. I suppose it's my comfort level. Not saying it won't happen, but 25 years of running a table saw and I still have all 10 digits.
There are tons of professional woodworkers missing digits who would have said the same thing. To each their own. I did a ton of research on saw safety when I was evaluating SawStop. I opted to save my money and buy a Ridgid saw, but I came away from that research with a healthy fear of the blade. At a minimum, I'd suggest getting something with a riving knife and not standing down range of the "throw path". Awesome project btw, I fully plan to do something inspired by it. :)
+Brian Greul All excellent points brother. The saw stop is great, but as you said, expensive. As long as you don't allow your mind to wander, that rigid saw will be great for you. I know a shop teacher that recently ran his hand through the saw. It was a long recovery. He was thinking about everything except what he was doing, and more specifically where his hand was in relation to the work. FYI, I do use push sticks on occasion, but typically only when it's a narrow rip or I'm cutting a rabbit or dado and my finger actually passes over the blade below. I will utilize a push stick more in the future though because I don't want to pass off my comfort level in my videos as "this is the proper way", so thank you for bringing that up. It's an excellent point and really takes no extra effort :)
I always say safety takes a second... accidents are instant.
I just love people who repeat cliches like they're making an original thought...
Seems very strange to have non-functional rivets on gussets that are welded in place. Why not just make the rivets functional? Have we forgotten what the rivets are for in the first place???
Thank you for your comment. I know exactly what the purpose of rivets are. When you build yours, you can rivet them like you suggested without any of the exposed welds, however, I did mine this way because that was the look I was going for.
It's for flair. Not function. Come onnnnnn.
Why fake rivits? It would probably take less time to put in real copper rivits and not much more time to put in steel rivits.
Johnny Andersson no particular reason.... just to be different.
Horrible music, didn’t watch the video
But you commented and for that I salute you 😘
Nice design. I like it simple! Check out my latest build! Just finished my by Lassen side table! (:
Great build! Where did you find the rivets for this project?
You can buy the 1/4" steel rivets HERE www.blacksmithbolt.com/
Brandon are those 1/4" round rivets? they look wider than 1/4" @@BrandonLund
@@squeegeeman123I know it sounds strange. I was told that rivets are sized by the size of the shaft x length, so 1/4" is the shaft size and the head is much bigger. I believe these are called 1/4 x 1/2 round head
which welder do you have?
+trevonmc32 For this project I'm using a Hobart Handler 140
Awesome
Thank Rob!
