This confirms that its easier to build with brand new material, then making it look old, than working with old material. But deep down, it is so satisfying to give new life to old stuff.
For me either way is easy. I don't get my hands on reclaimed much both because of price and availability in my area. But I do like using it. I usually go through with a strong magnet to find any nails lol
My Grandfather is my inspiration in my shop… He built everything in the homestead house… including the house… When he passed I knew I had to keep his memory alive, so he is with me in my shop always. Happy Holidays to you guys! And Merry Day of Birth Wally!!!
Love your show,I'm a disabled veteran on a fixed VA income, and I would like to become a patron, but I just wanted you to know that. Always look forward to your next show. Also, it taught me a lot. Thank you 😊
The author does like to from scratch, th-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practise the full stack project, is still great.
One important points (I work with reclaimed wood alot) : Always brush it off / vacuum / do a light water wash first. It can be covered with lead and/or asbestos dust from old construction. (or worse stuff). I also always do an extra lead test just in case.
I will never again be able to smear glue anywhere near a crack without a giving up a little chuckle. And I'm sure I'll get funny looks. And I'll have to explain it. And they won't get it because I won't be able to explain it right. And they'll think I'm weird. So thanks, Jason, thanks a lot! 🤣🤣🤣
Another great video. The finished product is beautiful. I must say, though, that the opening scene of the discussion between you and Mrs. Hibbs was deja vu for me - it is almost an exact replay of a recent discussion with my wife. I was laughing so hard I was in tears. Nicely played..
Sure you did, but for those less experienced: make sure to seal any exposed MDF, especially where it might get damp, like at the bottom of the legs, as it soaks up water and swells like a beast.
@@joemacleod-iredale2888 yea it seems like a more industrial product I live in a rural area and none of the builder supply centers here could order it.
Shawn here,I have a fully loaded shop in Florida which needs an out feed table, wink wink lol,we have a guest floor at our home, thanks to you I bought most of wood pecker tools, great stuff ty.come on down ! thank you for all your content!!
Jason, thanks for making this video using reclaimed lumber. I think that there are quite a number of woodworkers who use reclaimed as their primary wood source. I agree that reclaimed lumber has some challenges, but as you have shown , they can be overcome. I also think that a lot of woodworkers start with inexpensive wood to build skill and confidence before spending 600 bucks on hardwood and making happy accidents. Musings of a local Albany guy.
I noticed you have raw MDF ends on the bottom of the legs. Since MDF meeting water ends up disasterously, to prevent possible water damage from washing the floor or drink spills, I probably would have started the leg veneers by capping the bottoms with a 1/4” or so layer of hardwood that is sealed with thin CA glue after gluing them on. Then apply the side veneers. … I did a similar project, making a “rustic” tressel (sp?) table with the base made from 5x7 oak timbers with pinned mortise and tenon joints. Fitting up the joints was a real challenge, to be sure! The top was made from similarly aged oak planks, all from my neighbor’s barn. He and his wife loved it!!
Putting a layer of glue at the bottom of the legs or just sealing it with something will slow down any absorption from a spill. Enough time to mop up anyway.
Great video Jason, as others have said, using reclaimed wood is something that I have done but not often. Would have loved to see your wife's reaction to the beautiful table you built her. God Bless, have a nice weekend.
Really like the combo of voiceover and talking directly to the camera. Gonna have to try that since I’m awkward AF when talking to the camera still lol
I work exclusively in salvaged lumber. Fortunately, I have only had one client that wanted the whole patina thing…….this was for a mantle and some matching counter tops…….all of my other clients seem to be looking for the story of the wood, and the filled nail holes and some dings and dents, but with new, smooth surfaces. I love your approach….and of course it turned out great.
I don't generally work with reclaimed either, especially as there is so, so much really badly made and/or fugly reclaimed furniture out there (especially in commercial settings like pubs and shops) and it just grinds my gears to know there are people taking serious money for objectively bad stuff, yet out of all your projects I've seen I think this is possibly my favourite. Keep it simple, build it well, and reclaimed can 100% work.
So i searched for just the tip, and not my crack.. and this was the top video. It did not disappoint! FYI your quartering technique always works with 8 ish ft reclaimed boards due to the fact that you get 4 pcs from each board.. and that even a 5 leg table has 4 legs in the end :) Bravo my man.. Bra vo.
I only work with reclaimed wood. It's cheaper and the reward is much greater once finished. Knowing what the board looked before and then seeing the final product is very rewarding.
I've used reclaimed lumber for shop projects such as my work bench, shaving mule, and other things just because I can get so much of it cheap. Locally it is mostly Douglas Fir from barns/outbuildings. Most of it is also old growth, heavy and tight ringed. If you are lucky you can get long lengths of rafters and floor joists too. From my experience it really depends on who you get it from on the quality and work you need to put into up front. I can get a ton of wood cheap but then need to spend time cleaning it, searching for nails, pulling them, and then truing up the wood. The money you save on materials can easily be eaten up by that additional time to make it workable. I would say as soon you get reclaimed wood is to decide on the finish you want to keep. If it is all the aging just stiff brush it to get rid of dirt/dust. If you don't care about that wash the wood and either brush it or lightly pressure wash it. It is always full of dust, dirt, and rocks from its time in a building and being moved, and that stuff sucks on your tools. After that is nail pulling. Never assume all nails are gone, get a good metal detector and nail puller and check them carefully. Even the guys who pull them for you before you buy will miss things. I even give it a final once over before running through the saws even if I pulled them. Once all of that is done you have awesome material to build from, and I still find it the best way to get cheap wood for my own projects where time doesn't matter as much, assuming Fir is ok for them.
Nice looking table! I have used the tape method for doing miters for years. A quick tip is to take a steel tool such as a screwdriver shank or the top of a knife blade and run down the sharp edge lightly before removing the tape. You can use hard maple scrap as well. This closes up tiny gaps and really adds to the overall appearance when the tape is pulled.
Tip for getting a darkened, rustic look on your timber: stain it with used engine oil. Works surprisingly well, especially for harder woods which won't absorb regular stains or oils as readily.
Well this came out at just the perfect time. I've had a request for a reclaimed wood piece for a relative for Christmas and this answered a lot of question that I've had on my mind. So, thank you!
I've worked with reclaimed poplar (barn wood). I used a magnetic stud finder for the nails. I've also seen a handheld metal detector used. RIP bandsaw blade.
@Bourbonmoth my 85 year old gma just passed away 5 days ago from a 12 year battle with Alzheimer's. I want to thank you for the great vids. They really help take my mind off things.
Dirt as stain! I love it! Like you, I'm not a big fan of working with reclaimed wood but you friggin nailed it! Just beautiful. Keep up the awesome work.
Stuff the reclaimed wood 😅 You just handed me a solution to my current problem - making a solid frame for a worktable. Worktop is a slab of 3cm granite. Weighs a ton - well, almost. Feels like it anyway.😊 Not going to veneer (thin?). Just glue 1/2" strips of meranti on top. It's going to work, and it's going to be solid. Thanks, man! 😊
Someone in the distant future will go to reclaim your table legs for something they are making and will curse your name when they cut into them and find the MDF.
I would LOVE to have a table from the barnwood in the back of my reno farmhouse. We're reclaiming what we can for the floors right now. ❤❤❤ beautiful work!
Just made these same legs out of oak! I had an idea to use my Japanese pull saw to finish up the taper (ouch). Fortunately halfway through #2 I remembered I own a nice bandsaw… I then used a #5 plane to clean them up. Honestly your approach to this is brilliant. MDF - never would have thought of it!
Very nice Jason! Reminds me of when norm did this many moons ago. I think he used some mesquite. Another was bog oak. Great to see you fill those big shoes of norm. And keep the wife happy too. Hope yous all have a nice Christmas. It's been a great year, you've done some awesome projects. I watch with my 8 year old son, he loves it. We live in an apartment so can't have a treehouse but he's getting a treehouse bed instead.
I few years ago when Pier 1 when out of business, my wife and I saw a "tabletop only, no legs" for sale there for $50. We bought it and I made legs and underpinnings that matched the shape of what you used here. She really liked it so I was quite happy, having done the tapering with a jig and then finishing the legs to match the top. Everything was great until something wet was put / left on the table - it turns out that tabletop was really just a mock up for what a person would purchase - it was all mdf, or particle board, expanded like crazy when it got wet! Speaking of, as others have asked/stated, are you putting some kind of foot on the bottom to lift the mdf off the floor in case of spills?....
The edge of that one board is pretty gnarly. I bet you'd want to swap it with the middle board. I suppose you still could since you didn't glue anything on the top together. Will take notes from this video, and might build a table like this!
I know you only used that tapering method because your blade wouldn't pass all the way through, but that actually seems like a great way to do two sided tapers! Def better than taping on your off cuts at least.
I’ve got about 500 board feet of old redwood 2x12’s to reclaim. They’re from the 1960’s and held up pretty well. This video will go a long way, thank you! 👍
The company I work for recently was commissioned to build a table from Heart Pine from the 1800's. It was a pain to get the nails out but it looks great now.
The problem I had with the reclaimed wood table I made was just how cupped and twisted the boards were - and I needed a nice flat top with the original reclaimed wood finish. I'd seen another woodworking channel that remedied this with a bunch of deep channel cuts underneath, which allow the wood to bend back to straight, and then I clamp the whole thing flat and fill the voids with epoxy. Worked great for me. That oil looks a lot like just, I dunno, wax? Looks like it leaves a wax film.
Next time you want to match a weathered look.....soak 4ought steel wool in vinegar for a day then brush on the solution. Matches grey weathered look when dry.
I did couple of projets with Reclaimed wood and best trick I found to clean the dirt and other stuff on the wood and keeping the Old look is to use a Pressure washer... It remove all the crap, yet keeping the old look🤷♂️🤷♂️

Those jokers want me to pay over $200 a month for a policy that is only 500k. Lol they can keep there expensive insurance.
They are hella expensive!!! No thanks!
you're gonna need your insurance policy if you keep milling mdf without a dust mask
This confirms that its easier to build with brand new material, then making it look old, than working with old material.
But deep down, it is so satisfying to give new life to old stuff.
For me either way is easy. I don't get my hands on reclaimed much both because of price and availability in my area. But I do like using it. I usually go through with a strong magnet to find any nails lol
The intro of this video is basically my life😂😂 never felt so connected with another man before 😂

I log onto TH-cam and "Save to Later" stuff I want to watch later, except your channel. I watch your channel immediately. Always funny.
if you're going to use reclaimed wood more often get an hand held metal detector to find all the nails.
That’s what I did. $30 at Harbor Freight.
Ruined a planar that way >:/
Would a magnet work as a cheaper alternative?
@@dougkohnen i would think it would depend on how big the metal is vs. how powerful the magnet is.
Agree. I work with it all the time for my wood art pieces. The cheap Harbor Freight one works well enough.
I will never again be able to smear glue anywhere near a crack without a giving up a little chuckle. And I'm sure I'll get funny looks. And I'll have to explain it. And they won't get it because I won't be able to explain it right. And they'll think I'm weird. So thanks, Jason, thanks a lot!
🤣🤣🤣
That looks great. Like a real old reclaimed table.
Great table. Your wife is a real looker. 😊

Sure you did, but for those less experienced: make sure to seal any exposed MDF, especially where it might get damp, like at the bottom of the legs, as it soaks up water and swells like a beast.
had the same thought
Or just use MR MDF instead because it basically never swells.
@@AxGryndr funny thing I'm actually looking to use that stuff in a bathroom project. Have you used it. I have no idea where you can get from.

Reclaimed wood was where I started my wood working journey. It's nice to see it done in a much better fashion than I could lol

For the legs, could you have done kerf cuts to bend it? I know it was already pretty thin material to work with.

Opening skit was essentially the "you don't need to sell it to me, I already decided that was what I wanted" meme
Always look forward to your builds and how you make it look so easy, least i forget, your great sense of humour :) Big up from England bud.....!
Thanks Jason, love watching your videos Saturday morning.
It turned out nice.
I do a lot with reclaimed wood.
Sometimes it's a pain.
I do like the way you approached doing the legs.
Love the Flight of the Conchords poster
Love the intro... sounds just like my wife.
We used to go to the auction way back when in Aurora, OR. Nice!!
Merry Christmas Jason! Before long, you'll be making epoxy river tables too!
and not blowing them up :)
I used to produce furniture using only reclaimed wood here in Brazil. I love how it looks.

I’ve got some 8/4 Douglas fir doors from my mom’s house. House was built in 1912. Super excited to turn them into something
I'm kinda in the same boat. I have some old 2x6 fir from the mid/late 1800's. I'm reminded of one of the wood working rules - planning
This is your best project in youtube so far, I would like to thank your wife for it
Amazing Craftsmanship!
Well done!
Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.
A little ash from the fireplace also really works well to hide the new wood when working with reclaimed. It blends in great with all they greying.
Darn, i can't use ash from my fireplace, its gas.
Thanks
If your ever strapped for ideas you could make my favourite thing in the world, a pool table that transforms into a dining table. 👍

That’s beautiful! I love the trick with the legs!
Those legs were genius! You could even use that for hardwood if the MDF core option is cheaper than the hardwood itself.
That looks absolutely stunning. The simplicity makes it even better. Amazing effort.
The table looks great, well done!

Love all your project ideas, Jason. Have you ever thought about building a pool table? That would be a great video. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
I've always thought about this. There are so many things to think about when doing that.
If you want to plane them down thinner, other woodworkers say to put an mdf table inside the planer then continue
The edge of that one board is pretty gnarly. I bet you'd want to swap it with the middle board. I suppose you still could since you didn't glue anything on the top together.
Will take notes from this video, and might build a table like this!
Ничего себе здоровый стол получился!
Класс, приятно смотреть твои видео, друг!
MDF core with veneer on top. It's just like IKEA! 😁
Love that place in Aurora! Can be a little pricey but you get great stuff.
Great content. I always learn something new watching your videos. Thank you!
Love the Flight of the Conchords poster! (Also the rest of the video is cool too I guess)
Just like that?? Love the result but this has inspired me to go out and buy a table .🤣
Great job as always sir. Congratulations.
Table looks beautiful. Now time to make a set of chairs to go with it!
I know you only used that tapering method because your blade wouldn't pass all the way through, but that actually seems like a great way to do two sided tapers! Def better than taping on your off cuts at least.

I’ve been waiting on this video I work with barn wood a lot nice to see how you went about things
steel wool + vinegar gives you a nice patina for reclaimed wood
Looks like a dining table I’d love to make! Thx. Happy holidays.
The company I work for recently was commissioned to build a table from Heart Pine from the 1800's. It was a pain to get the nails out but it looks great now.
Damn this table is amazing looking. Great job .
Its been a while since we saw Jason eating wood glue. Always fun.
Your ability to veneer those legs with those angles is insane.
The problem I had with the reclaimed wood table I made was just how cupped and twisted the boards were - and I needed a nice flat top with the original reclaimed wood finish. I'd seen another woodworking channel that remedied this with a bunch of deep channel cuts underneath, which allow the wood to bend back to straight, and then I clamp the whole thing flat and fill the voids with epoxy.

Thank you for your channel. Quick question why did you use MDF for the legs
nicely done, Jason! The MDF will be our little secret.
it is looks very nice. I like how the legs turn out.
Nice Flight of the Conchords poster!
Hi Jason.
Can you please build a Fireplace place mantel.
I have 20 years worth of old wood wood in my garage and a Good Wood table I have refinished a dozen times. Should I make a desk or a table?
please seal the underside of those lags, spilt water wil be sucked up and destroy the mdf..
Great table tough!
