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.
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. 🙂
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. 🙂
@@ScaredButIntrigued 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. 🙂
@@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.
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.
@@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.
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.
@@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.
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.
@@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.
This is seriously impressive. You could sell these like hotcakes as dupes to the designer units. Great craftsmanship!

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. I'm glad you like it.
This looks amazing!!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Thanks so much.
That looks amazing dude 🤙

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.

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.
looks Amazing
Thanks. I’m happy with how it turned out.
This is beautiful!! Can you tell me what color stain was used?

What stains and paints did you use exactly?

@@814creative Thanks for replying, Very much appreciated.
Looks amazing. Does it wobble? Couldn’t tell if it had some playing it back and forth.

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.
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
You should sale it, I need one of 42"L

Oh that awful, pointless, annoying repetitive music…….please please get rid of it. Music, the curse of You Tube
