The Easy Way to Make A Live Edge Table
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ย. 2020
- I have made a few live edge tables, and this is the easiest way I have found to shape and finish a live edge table top with pre-fabricated steel table legs. This DIY live edge table only took me a few hours to build I and I only needed 4 of my Ryobi power tools to build. The legs are from Semi Exact which is manufacturing steel furniture parts right here in America!
I have invested in Semi Exact and we are going to be rolling a bunch of new products that will make DIY projects a lot easier!

For beginners taking on their first live edge projects I suggest starting with a softwood slab like cedar. They are easier to work with and less expensive than hardwood slabs. I get my slabs from: www.woodslabs.com/default.aspx

A nice short video. Thank you.
I made my table almost the same way. I used a PU coating and made heavy wooden cross legs.
Great job 👏 it's good to use for the disc table
I like that you make it so Beginner Easy. Thanks.
Dang I want one as my coffee table! Another great vid in your library of great vids Ben!
Dude, that's beautiful!
Awesome job Ben! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Great video--I am learning how to DYI since I retired.
Ben gr8 video there keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work and teaching ur craft to the world my friend keep making
The slab turned awesome! Very nice job!
Very cool!! I have made lots of slab furniture in the past and could have used a company like this!! One thing I would suggest from being in the industry is that they offer some sort of cross member that can be bolted between the two legs for racking strength. Not sure aesthetically how you would do this though.
Beautiful table 😍
Semi Exact is about to get slammed with orders!
Smart finish.
Beautiful
Great video , thanks for the tips .

That grinder with the holy galahad disc is a powerful tool. It’s also super dangerous. That is not a good tool for a beginner. You need to know what you are doing with those and even then they can surprise you and not in a good way.
Exactly. It should be held for dear life because if it decides to jump and it will at one point or another, you don't want it hurling at you.
Great job
awsome sir, thank you
Good job man
I'll be acquiring some fresh red oak slabs that will need time to cure. I have not created a live edge slab table yet and like your choice of iron/steel leg system. About how much do you wind up selling your tables for? Keep up the great tutorials!
Just for curiosity, did you flatten the slab or no? Thanks. Came out sick by the way 👍🏻
Great video 👏
This is very cool.
Awesome!
Hi it looks great awesome job but you need to put a bowtie inlay on that edge crack so it would not travel that is a common problem in working with slabs
Hey Mate, love your content, New Sub from Australia. Q
COOL!!!
nice content keep up the great content
Nice looking table Ben! Thanks for sharing the video with us!💖👍👌😎JP
So is the oil finish enough to protect the wood from indoor humidity or someone spilling drinks on it? I always thought soft woods needed a heavy coat of polyurethane. Forgive my ignorance I'm a beginner
How far f rom the ends to you put the legs?
What type screws.did you run into the table to hold the legs? I'd almost think a cross support would be in play with this build.
We just built a similar one from live edge oak planks...sanding those edges was not fun!
But for a dining room table, I'd rather spent more time working on it, than using a softer wood.
Always depends, on what you're going to use it for, obviously.
Giggity
If you skip the flattening part, of course it's "the easy way". The most time consuming part is flattening the top.
Also failed to finish the bottom side or reinforce the big split. Not guaranteed, but this could turn into a multi piece pretzel after a while.
The channel is named "HOME MADE" modern, not "How to make furniture as a professional woodworker"... What are you complaining for?
@@tonialzola Even a home gamer would/should take the basic step of sealing all sides. Teaching people to make Pringles with legs is just bad form for a educational channel.
@@tonialzola lol
@@vbaspcppguy I dont think a slab that thick will ever turn into a pringle and even if it does the trend of using slabs will be gone by then... and the dyier will probably not care since they didnt spent a fortune.
Any issues with widthwise wood expansion and those table legs?
Has really noone asked how much this cost? What was your total materials cost. Great vid
What would you use the finish it with if leaving the barn on?
Do you leave the finish as is or do you apply a polyurethane?
Cool
where do you get slabs like that in the first place
That was easy.
Was the slab that flat or did you run it through a planer?
Good to hear and Great to hear
how much of the simple finish will i need for a 4 by 8 foot table? its a spruce slab...
Where to source good slabs?
Чудово!
How much does a thick slab of cedar cost
Nice ads... Really great table though and looks so easy to make that even I could do it.
Is there a way to lessen the friction between the floor and the steel legs? or any partition that could help (accessories)?
Felt pads from home depot
@@VallaNFreyja yes, great, Thanks!
Im curious why not use a wet cloth to remove the dust?
So what kind table is this? Is it use for dining? Or only office?
A wet cloth raises the grain of the wood, which you'd have to sand off again before finishing. The tack cloth has a slightly sticky surface that picks up the dust without raising the grain.
How stable is the table,
It's nice, but the table top is clearly not completely flat. Are you comfortable with that?
Is this kiln dried wood?
What did you price this table for?
How much do they charge for a 3” thick piece of cedar, 4ft long? I went to the site but all I’m seeing is very expensive pieces. Is there a length of slab like this around $200? What wood is inexpensive?
I've picked up a few pieces of cedar this size for $80-200, each about 2ft wide. Specialty lumber suppliers would've charged twice as much, but I've had great luck buying from wholesalers and local guys who cut and dry slabs out in the country. Check local buy and sell sites like kijiji/craigslist.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Do you sell any of your live edge tables?
Hey Ben, do you sell the furniture you make? If so, is it profitable or do you make most of your income via TH-cam and brand deals?
Asking because I’m thinking about getting into the furniture business and we have similar styles.
If you have another video or article explaining this could you point me towards it?
Thanks!

As a professional carpenter, this made me cringe the entire way through. But I have to say, it’s come out really nicely!!
Worth noting with a softwood especially with a light finish it can have a tendency to warp over time…. Having said that, it won’t be that flat to start with so I’m not sure how much it matters!
What are some tips that you would do better, not being hateful just want information from an actual professional Carpenter. I'm trying to make my own and I want to do it right
How much does a slab like that cost ? In Canada or US ?
$80-200 DEPENDS ON SPECIES OF WOOD SUBSTRATE AND SIZE BUT MAY BE ABLE TO SELL FOR $400-1,000 IF DONE CORRECTLY👍🏻
@@ensurepaintingplusllc how thick is the slab used please
😍😍😍😍😍
Wow thanks for advertisement video
sponsors, sponsors everywhere
Fantastic idea and cool content
Cool working
Hey beautiful table. If anyone needs slabs at cheap prices I know a guy in Maryland between Baltimore and Annapolis. He is a lot cheaper than online and the exotic wood stores in my area. He also has a 60" planer. He saved me 1300$ over other places
I thought that was a Kraft single.

Nice table but too irregularfor a useful dining table..
But was this an ad or what?
Be careful with the Simple Finish.....if you don't give it adequate time to soak into the wood (24-48 hours) even after you wipe it off it can ruin table runners or any other "cloth" covers.
Not 4 tools but 6
Jesus, do you think you could have crammed any more product placement in there?
Slab will crack and bend in a few months.
?
How commercials can one get in 4 minutes of "making"...... 🤦
The whole purpose of "live edge", is well, having a live edge bark and all. By you taking it off, I feel you loose the whole visual appeal and effect of having a live edge - it's not live edge anymore, in my opinion.
lol the rest of the world disagrees with you, nobody does that

dude, learn to weld, it would literally take you half hour to make those legs
