- In this video I build a large, distressed beam console table similar to styles offered by RH (Restoration Hardware), Arhaus, Timothy Oulton, Pottery Barn and others.
This table was built for under $130 using basic framing lumber, a box beam construction technique and distressing to make it look a solid, reclaimed beam.
Great work. The table turned out beautiful.
Brother...how on EARTH do you only have 3.9K views on this.
This is FANTASTIC. I am attempting this behemoth right before hosting Thanksgiving and Christmas in my new home. My wife and I have been looking for a temp solution before I build a furr out stone wall in our living room and when she sent me a link for those $4K+ tables I said absolutely not.
This video will serve as my guide and I am so thankful that you made this tutorial, if you call it such.
Thank you so much sir!
Thank you and congratulations on the new home! I love the authentic, old beams but I'm with you on the price. I had a long conversation with a guy who salvages materials from old barns and buildings about how involved the process is. So, I understand where the price tag comes from, but it's just too steep for me, hence my video. 🙂
@@814creativeI want you to know that I successfully completed this build by following these instructions!
I made mine 36” tall and 90” wide.
Looks phenomenal. Kudos to you sir. This guide is so easy to follow and informative.
Thank you for helping me make my home more beautiful.
That's so great to hear! I'm really happy it turned out well for you.
That turned out gorgeous. Your wife and I have been looking at the exact same piece lol. You did it justice.
Thank you. My wife has me figured out. If she wants something like this, she just needs to mention it and I'm immediately figuring out how to build it. 🙂
@ You’re a good man lol
I’ve been looking for a hallway table and I found it. Great work
Thank you. Let me know how it turns out.
This is seriously impressive. You could sell these like hotcakes as dupes to the designer units. Great craftsmanship!
Thank you. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and it's holding up really well. I really want to make a couple more but time has been hard to come by lately.
This is fantastic honestly. The only giveaway for me is that there’s no checking, but very few people would even notice. Definitely got me inspiration for the day 😊
Thanks a lot for the compliment. I had actually tested adding checking by cutting small slots and cracking them apart with a chisel. The technique worked pretty well but it was difficult to control the depth of the resulting crack and sometimes you would be able to see into the hollow beam. So, I ended up skipping it on this project, but my tests that cracked all the way through the board actually gave me an idea for another design. I just need more time to actually follow through on all my project ideas. 🙂
I love your videos. Hope to see more.
@@JuanR2828 Thank you for the kind words. I’m hoping to have some more videos soon. I have several projects I’m working on right now. I just need to actually finish one so I can put a video together. 🙂
Beautiful!
Thank you. I'm glad you like it.
This looks amazing!!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Thanks so much.
That looks amazing dude 🤙
@@Kernowwoods Thanks for the compliment. I do like how this technique turned out.
I definitely plan on using a similar approach for a handful of other projects on my list.
Amazing video and I love your commentary! You make it look very manageable. What type of wood did you use? I’m sorry if I missed it in the video.
Thanks. The process really isn't bad at all and it's built entirely out of basic, pine framing lumber. Nothing special at all, which is great because it is also really inexpensive to make.
looks Amazing
Thanks. I’m happy with how it turned out.
Looks amazing. Does it wobble? Couldn’t tell if it had some playing it back and forth.
@@TheBandit5001 It’s actually really stable since the legs are so wide and the dovetail won’t let the top move back and forth much at all.
Once you get it set, it doesn’t move unless you grab a leg by the bottom and pull. Even then, it barely moves out of square and that’s only because I left a little bit of wiggle room around the dovetail to make assembly easier.
If it did become a problem, it could easily be solved with a couple of hidden angle brackets underneath the top beam and some screws to attach it to the inside of the legs.
If you look closely, you can see that RH actually does something similar with theirs.
This is beautiful!! Can you tell me what color stain was used?
@@gueramercado The color is actually a two step process. The first step is to whitewash the wood with watered down, off white paint. This whitewash base coat helps hide the yellow color of the pine.
I used a 1:1 ratio of water to paint. I wiped the paint/water mixture on, let it dry for about 30 - 60 seconds and wiped off any excess paint. Once the whole thing was dry to the touch, I moved on to the second step.
The second step was just wiping on Minwax Aged Oak Gel Stain and almost immediately wiping it off. How long you leave the stain on completely depends on how dark you want the color. The longer you leave the stain on, the darker the final color is.
@@814creativethank you for your reply
This is so cool! How much was the lumber ?
Since I just used regular framing lumber, it was very inexpensive. The lumber ended up only costing about $80 USD.
@@814creative insane. Looks awesome . Thx for
I’m looking for this table from last 4 months in Australia but can’t find it
I wish I could help. Have you tried Etsy? It's usually one of my first stops when I'm looking for something unique.
What stains and paints did you use exactly?
The paint I ended up using for the whitewash was Valspar Bermuda Sand, which I already had on-hand for a different project. It's basically an off white/cream color. The stain I used for the second step was Minwax Aged Oak Gel Stain and I only left it on for a short time so it did not darken the wood too much.
@@814creative Thanks for replying, Very much appreciated.
Do you sell that template? Or the cnc file ?
Unfortunately, I don't have a template. The best I have are the dimensions I specify in the video at 1:07. Sorry.
You should sale it, I need one of 42"L
Thank you for thinking it's nice enough to sell. Unfortunately, selling furniture is quite a bit more complicated than I'm ready for at the moment. Shipping alone is a nightmare. But thank you again. Someone offering to part with their hard earned money for something I made is a true a compliment.
13:50 from mechanical pov, useless.
@@qwertymnbvc-k9x Fair enough but since I added the extra piece after I had put the polyurethane on, I wasn’t sure how well the glue would hold if any real pressure was put on it. So, the bolts went in, just to be sure.
Oh that awful, pointless, annoying repetitive music…….please please get rid of it. Music, the curse of You Tube
I've gotten a couple comments about the music. I think this was my second video ever, so I'm still trying to figure out the best formula.
@ well good for you, congratulations for your efforts, keep at it. Don’t give up when idiots like me write negative comments…..however, for what it’s worth, I watch a lot of stuff on You Tube. The good sites have interesting content, no music and never ask us to like and subscribe. We will do so if the content is good enough, don’t worry about that.
The video shouldn’t need music if it’s good enough. Like this for example - great video. Some people find it hard to listen to talking and music at the same time. That’s just me though
