I loved your comment, if it’s not on TH-cam it can’t be done . I just got a new table off of market place with a beautiful marble top. I wanted it to be 6 inches higher I thought I was gonna buy new table legs. They don’t exist. Then I got the idea to extend the length 6 inches. I’ve seen many of your videos I’m so glad you’re the one who solve the problem.
Thank you sir. I’ve looked everywhere online for help doing this. So glad I found you. Love your results and I’ll going to up my dining set over the weekend. Thanks again. I really appreciate you.
U r very welcome...mine is holding up very well, if u have hardwood floors install felt on the bottom so u can scoot it around...good luck and be safe :)
You’re a badass. No one else has figured out how to do chairs. A bit too much work for me but I sat through the whole thing. I hope Jazz and Sammie are doing well.
Donald Dump I appreciate U hanging in there til the end! The chairs and table are a big hit with the family, sometimes we just have to take matters into our own hands and solve the puzzle.....thank U for swinging by! And Sammy and Jazz are becoming doggie stars...they show up in quite a few videos unannounced to me :)
Channell this way may work but doesn't look like the original legs which I don't mind. The table was given to me by my daughter and we love the extra height. Not sure about ur parents table. Being vintage it may hurt the value of it. My mom wanted an antique coffee table lowered to match her couch....instead I bought couch legs extenders and saved the vintage table :)...thanks for dropping by! Ps...is that Tony sopranos table? :)
Thank U very much!.....I am an A-symetrical channel for sure, all the big channels say only one niche is allowed....I say BS :).....variety is the spice of life😎
Hello Karen, this would be the easiest way, home depot-lowes-menards have furniture risers u can but that sit under the chair, table, or couch, the ones I use for my couch are the clear circles that come in 2" increments...so for my couch I use 2 stacked on each back leg...and 3 on the front legs...gives the couch a nice higher position(easier to get on and off of) and a slight tilt back which feels comfortable, they also work great on beds too...I hope this helps, u could always buy them and if u don't like it take them back, u will see the clear disks for about the first week...then u won't even notice them anymore:)
Hello...I would look at metal just like wood, this process might work, a metal fabricator could make some slip on legs but might be expensive, keep in mind to think outside the box like this design I came up with, I have had some say they didn't like the design which is ok with me, the table and chairs function real nice and it's amazing how u forget the leg extentions are different from the original legs, life is way to short to worry about everything being perfect. I'll keep thinking about ur set up and may come up with an idea and u let me know if u come up with a plan
Thanks for watching...I do appreciate it a lot. Probably not a video on the finish....u can buy super small cans of Minwax stains at any hardware store... little foam brush....plastic gloves for ur hands and u r ready to go....if u pick one that is too light...u can always go darker...but darker to lighter would be tough....once applied and dried u could apply a little stain sealer and u r done. Funny how nobody sells legs extentions for tables....we love ours....the added height is nice :)....I have videos stacked up waiting to produce....good problem to have:)
Hello. Finding wheels that tall would be tough. They are made but used for things like work benches in a shop...pretty bulky. I guess if I wanted wheels I could cut some of the leg extentions off and install them, the table got rave reviews at our Thanksgiving meal...I still need to add foot rests about 10 inches off the floor for comfort, I hope u find something that works :)
Just a touch up of simular stain, it's funny how since I did this project I never notice the extentions at all...but sure notice the new height...works great :)
Yea, that kind of creates a whole new puzzle, I've been a carpenter for a very long time, doing projects with wood comes naturally...metal fabrication is a different way to reach a simular result but I'm lost in the woods there :), thanks for watching though!
I have found that not all the answers can be found on youtube. I have solved many things by just sitting down with old fashioned pencil and paper and thought out how to solve and bring about a solution. I'm self-fitting my kitchen and I cannot stand seeing that under wall cabinet light wiring which we see showing even on high end kitchens.. I looked on You-tube and could not find it anywhere. I decided to purchase additional end panels and routered channels into the panels and it looks excellent; no wires showing.
Excellent! Solutions are out there for sure, and if not once u come up with an idea putting it on film and sharing it is cool! Sounds like you( if you haven't already) would make a great TH-cam creator :)...thanks for sharing that info...
No I sure don't....I call them hurricane straps buy actually they might be straps brick layers use to hold the brick against the exterior walls...either way a place like home depot or lowes will have them.....I'm guessing maybe .75 each...who knows with all the price hikes. One thing I'm going to add are foot rests at the bottom....like u see on bar stools.....they are holding up well.... thanks for watching:)
@@laffilmfest3759 Awesome, glad to hear they are holding up!! I have some bar stools my wife "Re-Krafted" that just aren't tall enough. Came to the tube for ideas!! Thanks for the fast response time!!
Hi Brian, sorry to disappoint u! About 99% of comments I get really like how I kind of tell stories as I lay out easy instructions to follow, but like yourself every once in awhile someone will make your point. As a TH-cam creator I just try to get the message out without being too boring, I appreciate your input and I hope u have a good day sir
Thank you for the great video! Hubby and I followed your instructions and raised the height of our dining chairs to a more comfortable level.
That's wonderful Karin! Thank you for letting me know, ours work great also...almost dinner time:)

My favorite part of this video is when Jazz & Sammy came to help! LOL
On my channel I have so many videos where the kids(doggies) love to hang out with me doing things:) thanks for dropping by!
Great work raising those legs 👏👏👏 thanks for sharing your time
U r very welcome! I find it a passion of mine helping other folks out with solutions to projects that they r contemplating...enjoy ur day :)
Perfect! Just what I need and easy enough, Thank you!
Very cool!...we really like the new height and its holding up well...thanks for ur comment :)
This might be the wildest video on TH-cam right now.
I'll take that as a compliment :)...thank you for ur input and watching my wild video! :)
Thank you sir. I’ve looked everywhere online for help doing this. So glad I found you. Love your results and I’ll going to up my dining set over the weekend. Thanks again. I really appreciate you.
U r very welcome...mine is holding up very well, if u have hardwood floors install felt on the bottom so u can scoot it around...good luck and be safe :)
Full agree, sometimes it's just seeing someone with the courage to think it through that makes the difference! =)
Right on! I appreciate U stopping by...I hope ur project turns out well :)

Thank you for the idea. Been looking for a way to modify my grandkids table. It is so expensive to get a new one.
Sounds like the perfect project this would work on and save some cash :)
Thank you for this! I’ve looked all over.
Amber u r very welcome :)
Thank you so much ! I love how u talk to your dawggies!!!
They're my buds...always curious to what's going on :)
Surely it is a unique and very useful video, thanks for sharing this info.
U r welcome...design not for everyone but works well for us :)... thanks also for watching!
Good video mate. Thank you so much from india 🇮🇳
I appreciate your compliment! The table and chairs are holding up just fine...greetings from America back to you :)
I’m def gonna need the extra hinges . Old country hog killin table I going to use for my island work table in my new kitchen!!!
Makes a big difference having ur work station higher...easier on ur back...thanks for ur comments Nancy!
Thank you for this!!!! I am thinking of a way to raise my parents old soprano table

Absolutely!! Always doing you is best!!
Yes.....u guys will be excellent at that.....enjoy this warm day :)
You are an awesome dude great energy! Appreciate your video!
Yes sir...and I truly appreciate U watching!...enjoy the 4th :)
You too!
Great video ❤
Saw this and all I can say is, "are we related?" Thank you so much!
Hello.....why do U ask?.
And thank U for dropping by :)
I'm trying to figure out how to raise two older upholstered chairs. One with round base, one with "runners" on each side. Can you guide me, please?
Hello Karen, this would be the easiest way, home depot-lowes-menards have furniture risers u can but that sit under the chair, table, or couch, the ones I use for my couch are the clear circles that come in 2" increments...so for my couch I use 2 stacked on each back leg...and 3 on the front legs...gives the couch a nice higher position(easier to get on and off of) and a slight tilt back which feels comfortable, they also work great on beds too...I hope this helps, u could always buy them and if u don't like it take them back, u will see the clear disks for about the first week...then u won't even notice them anymore:)
Great advice.
Thank U sk8trsurfr! We used the table at Thanksgiving and it was a big hit...enjoy ur day :)
So far the best video
Thanks Steve!.....I appreciate that :)
This is great. Do you have any ideas if the legs are metal and retangular about 2/3 in wide
Hello...I would look at metal just like wood, this process might work, a metal fabricator could make some slip on legs but might be expensive, keep in mind to think outside the box like this design I came up with, I have had some say they didn't like the design which is ok with me, the table and chairs function real nice and it's amazing how u forget the leg extentions are different from the original legs, life is way to short to worry about everything being perfect. I'll keep thinking about ur set up and may come up with an idea and u let me know if u come up with a plan
By any chance are you going to have a follow up video that gives some sort of a finish to the table legs?
Thanks for watching...I do appreciate it a lot. Probably not a video on the finish....u can buy super small cans of Minwax stains at any hardware store... little foam brush....plastic gloves for ur hands and u r ready to go....if u pick one that is too light...u can always go darker...but darker to lighter would be tough....once applied and dried u could apply a little stain sealer and u r done.

Want to make my coffee table into a dining table
That sounds like a good plan....very creative! Thanks for dropping by :)
Can I add thread wheels in my table to raise it 10 cm? I can only find wheels of 7.62 cm but i need it to be 10 cm. What should I do?
Hello. Finding wheels that tall would be tough. They are made but used for things like work benches in a shop...pretty bulky. I guess if I wanted wheels I could cut some of the leg extentions off and install them, the table got rave reviews at our Thanksgiving meal...I still need to add foot rests about 10 inches off the floor for comfort, I hope u find something that works :)
Ah! You didn’t do a big reveal of the finished product so we could see what the chairs looked like upright! 🤦🏽♀️
I was thinking at the very end of the video I show the whole set...I'll go back in to look at it...still holding up well :)
What are you finishing the table legs with?
Just a touch up of simular stain, it's funny how since I did this project I never notice the extentions at all...but sure notice the new height...works great :)
my dining room table is not wood though
Yea, that kind of creates a whole new puzzle, I've been a carpenter for a very long time, doing projects with wood comes naturally...metal fabrication is a different way to reach a simular result but I'm lost in the woods there :), thanks for watching though!

Do you have a link for those "hurricane straps"?
No I sure don't....I call them hurricane straps buy actually they might be straps brick layers use to hold the brick against the exterior walls...either way a place like home depot or lowes will have them.....I'm guessing maybe .75 each...who knows with all the price hikes.

Sure thing....I searched every where myself...nothing....so might as well be a pioneer....u might film ur project too....
I will try to do it with Woodglut plans.
Sounds like a plan Linda, let me know how it turns out, so far so good on my table and chairs, seem to be holding out really good...have a good day :)
Those metal straps are brick ties. They get nailed to the building frame and then bent into the brick mortar joint during brick laying

Sorry but it doesn't look nice at all ..
No need to say ur sorry...no offense taken :) we really like it and it's very functional but it's not for every one...thanks for dropping by !
Standard is too fucking low
I hear ya! Now that we have gotten use to using the table at the new height standard really seems short...thanks for watching :)
