This is a really cool piece!! It would look good in what my wife wants us to build...something called a Barndominium.

[@DIYGene]

I love the concept of the barndominium.

Sometimes I seriously wish I lived in something wider than I do. I love the table. Just gotta figure out how to make something like that fit into a school bus. LOL!

That's great

Thank you. This was a really fun project.

[@royeubanks639]

Once again great job Gene. The table looks absolutely fantastic. Just a bit of info on how you can make a better clamping surface on the top. You can take any two boards that will be glued together, turn the faces of the glue area up and hold them together as evenly as you can, then clamp them in a wood-holding vice. Take a hand plane and surface them together. It won't matter if they are not 90 deg. flat. When done you can fold them back in to glue them and the joint will not have a single gap. This is assuming you have the vice and the hand plane. I also try to get the grain pattern to match the best I can. One other thing I do is alternate the board's tree ring grain ends. This helps if the top decides to cup.

[@DIYGene]

Hello Roy, Excellent advice! Thanks for sharing. This has been a really fun project. How are your projects coming along?

[@royeubanks639]

@DIY Gene Hi Gene. Haven't worked on a new project since the Bluetooth retro radio. We're headed to Scotland and Ireland in August, but I'm thinking I'll start a new woodworking project that I can finish up.

[@DIYGene]

@@royeubanks639, Scotland and Ireland. Wow that sounds incredible. Have a great time.

[@michaelray282]

Wow very cool, as a non wood worker Im looking to try a living room set, any ideas for end tables that match this? I imagine without casters but similar fashion. Might be a good follow up video!

[@DIYGene]

That’s a good idea. I would do a similar design with the cross buckles and maybe add a drawer. Thanks so much for watching.
