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!
The intro of this video is basically my life😂😂 never felt so connected with another man before 😂
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!
🤣🤣🤣
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
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 log onto TH-cam and "Save to Later" stuff I want to watch later, except your channel. I watch your channel immediately. Always funny.
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.
Opening skit was essentially the "you don't need to sell it to me, I already decided that was what I wanted" meme
Great table. Your wife is a real looker. 😊
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 😊
Best intro ever!!😂❤
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.
@@russellcasperson6695 not usually a diy thing here in the UK, I used to design furniture and we just ordered it from the sheet timber suppliers.
@@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.
That looks great. Like a real old reclaimed table.
Just like that?? Love the result but this has inspired me to go out and buy a table .🤣
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..
MDF core with veneer on top. It's just like IKEA! 😁
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.
If your ever strapped for ideas you could make my favourite thing in the world, a pool table that transforms into a dining table. 👍
You always make such funny videos Jason. Best content on TH-cam.👍🏻
Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.
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.
"...or Gramma chuckin a bowling ball through the house.." CRACKED me up!! I had to pause to go tell my daughter.
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.
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.
The table turned out great. I'm in the process making a dresser for my youngest son using wood from a house he bought that was built in 1916
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 used to produce furniture using only reclaimed wood here in Brazil. I love how it looks.
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 am getting strong IKEA vibes from the MDF approach. Watch out for a line of "reclaimed" wood furniture at your local IKEA in 2024.
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.
Awesome! I love reclaimed wood. It has so much character.
@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.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
@@jodilea144 thank you so much. I truly appreciate it.
I am sorry for your loss. I hope things are a going better. It is hard to go through.
@@kimmartin5698 thank you so much. Things are better, but it still sucks ya know.
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.
Amazing Craftsmanship!
Well done!
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
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!!
Ничего себе здоровый стол получился!
Класс, приятно смотреть твои видео, друг!
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.
Love the Flight of the Conchords poster! (Also the rest of the video is cool too I guess)
What a wonderful table! One would hardly guess you just made it and didn't just find it in an abandoned farmhouse. Well done!
Jason, great work, even if the intro has left me mentally scarred 🤣🤣🤣
Gotta start calling the tablesaw the "almost finger cutter offer"
The reclaimed wood vernier over the MDF legs turned out way better than I expected. The table looks great.
Making the 2 clamps hold hands in the middle 🤣
Merry Christmas Jason! Before long, you'll be making epoxy river tables too!
and not blowing them up :)
Love that place in Aurora! Can be a little pricey but you get great stuff.
This is your best project in youtube so far, I would like to thank your wife for it
Love the Flight of the Conchords poster
I got myself a restorer tool a couple of years ago - absolute game changer for working with barnwood
steel wool + vinegar gives you a nice patina for reclaimed wood
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.
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.
For the legs, could you have done kerf cuts to bend it? I know it was already pretty thin material to work with.
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
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
Looks awesome!!
Simply wow!
Great job, fun project!
Thanks Jason, love watching your videos Saturday morning.
Fascinating. A master at work. Thank you!
nice flight of the concords poster
Beautiful!
Omg that is fabulous! I love reclaimed wood ❤️
Outstanding outcome!
In Nashville it's pretty easy to find reclaimed wood compared to ANY OTHER wood.
Love the intro... sounds just like my wife.
We used to go to the auction way back when in Aurora, OR. Nice!!
You do some awesome work.
Great content. I always learn something new watching your videos. Thank you!
That’s beautiful! I love the trick with the legs!
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.
Great job as always sir. Congratulations.
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!
That looks absolutely stunning. The simplicity makes it even better. Amazing effort.
Terrific work on that reclaimed wooden table Jason! Happy Holidays to you & your family! 👍👍🌲🌲
Thank you for sharing
looks fantastic, probably my fav project you've done in terms of aesthetics
Nice work!
Looks like a dining table I’d love to make! Thx. Happy holidays.
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.
Beautiful work Mister.
Amazing job, I love it!
Cool build! Loved it.
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!
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.
Its been a while since we saw Jason eating wood glue. Always fun.
Table looks awesome Jason! Well done 👍🏼
Awesome build. Using the mdf and reclaimed veneer was a great looks looks amazing!
Agree. I'm in the process of designing a flat screen TV table in my living room and don't want to spend the money to make it out of solid wood. Was thinking of using poplar or some other decent wood to make a carcass and use the same veneer technique he used. Now that I have seen this video, I may be able to use MDF in some aspect as well. Love learning better ways to build projects!
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.
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.
Table turned out great 👍
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!
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.....!
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.
Great video
BRILLIANT !!!
Oooh lovely mdf dust, nice
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’ve been waiting on this video I work with barn wood a lot nice to see how you went about things
Nice piece. Good job.
