It’s the nonchalant “my tables uneven”😂 love this. Sending it to my husband in hopes he’ll make me a coffee bar lol
Hi guys
Love to watch your builds. We do benches every day at Glazer Woodworking, York PA. and here is a tip for you. When I put my fasteners on, I put a clean moving blanket on my workbench, flip the top over (front facing you), then flip the frame over on top of the tabletop (underside) front again facing you. Now you can measure, predrill and screw the fasteners without crawling underneath and working upside down. You probably knew this
but I thought I would pass it along.
Have a blessed day and keep building!
I love sanding, after carving, cutting, glueing, distressing. I may be strange to some or a great many, but it's all part of the creative process for me.
We see so many guys on here with shops worth than most new cars. Nice to see some usable projects with tools that are mostly attainable for anyone. I feel guilty with the what I have in the garage that I barely make use of... Great job. Now I gotta get out there and build... And nice planer... Love my 735x!!
I appreciate that. That’s what I want my channel to be about, projects that most people can build with common woodworking tools.
Y’all are too cute. Love your channel. Just found it . Glad to see you are not scared to give God the glory too!
Thanks
The way he says together makes me chuckle!
🤣
by far your the best teacher on youtube , you have a gift not many have but all strive for
I appreciate the kind words
Hey, Matt. Thanks for posting this. I'm going to pull out the gear in the garage and put one of these together to match our current living room aesthetic. My wife is picky when it comes to what we put in our house, and I've been wanting a console table for a few weeks now. Thanks again. I'll be sure to post my results and tag your post.
Awesome. Please do tag me when you’re done
You've probably already thought of this. But... an idea for projects which could be an option for the customer. On end tables or bars or things that have the decorative end pieces with the "X" is to offer them an option to change the "X" to a cross. Just a thought.
That’s a great idea. Thanks
I knew I liked this guy. He's a Yankees Fan.
My favorite wood stain is Cabot Moonlight Mahogany. I adore it because it is a one-coat application and has a glossy like finish. No need for other steps. I was surprised to see your final step because I thought Cabot stains were the same (aside from color options.) I use the Quick Solutions™ 7" Deck & Stain Pad Painter to apply the stain (only w/Cabot.) I do not wipe off the stain, per Cabot instruction on the can. In the end, it looks beautiful! Should you have free time test it out. I think you'll be surprised of the quality result of your piece, save time, save $. Many benefits.
Oh, thanks for your videos. I've seen a handful & will build soon 😁👌👍
Thank you. I’ve used Cabot stains on some problems and they are good quality
@@731Woodworks Totally just looked at the can. Gold ultimate finish. Polished protection * for decks & outdoor furniture. Lol, I use indoor too. Never noticed it said outdoor. N E ways, the question for you. I've heard that one can't put a gloss on gloss stuff. Paints & stains. Like if it's already an outdoor glossy paint but I use interior paint for details but want to seal with a gloss. I shouldn't do that. Something about science lol. Idk. Do you have any insight into that dilemma? Oh, and the Cabot Moonlight Mahogany is a Satin. If I wanted it to glossier could I do that? Figured I'd ask you with being your profession and all & not ask the Menards staff. Just my daughter's and I build outdoor decor and different needed items inside and out.
This came up as I've been watching table builds getting ideas for building one this weekend. I totally forgot you used music in your earlier vids. I came for the woodworking and stayed for the absolute bangers 😂
You are an inspiration to newbies. Every time I watch you I think I can do that. The way you explain everything makes it so easy to understand. Thank you for your videos
I appreciate the kind words
As always, I appreciate all the small key details you provide. Another great looking project
Thank you
One of the best videos out there for a newbie like myself. Feel comfortable with purchasing a pocket jig now. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
If you don’t have enough clamps, you can also clamp two pieces, shoot a finish nail through the ends while clamped, and then use the clamps for another set. That’s how I usually do it... I have pipe clamp envy.
Good info
Lol like the 3/4” jig for the in set. You got to make a how to video on the jig. Looks complicated. Got duplicators, imitators, but we need the originator.
🤜🏼🤛🏼
👊🏻 lol
For pine, I like to use the Zinzer bullseye B-I-N shellac based primer. Really covers over the pine knots when painting white bases like that. I already have someone asking me to make this for them- our son is remodeling his house, and made a "theater room", and wants something like this to put a kureg maker, and snacks, etc.
Love this one🥰... I was trying to find something to put in my very small kitchen space' that I can sit at and also Do Prep on also.. and that I am able to move out of the middle of my ( like I said before. Very small kitchen floor as well when needed.. Thankyou So Very Much For Posting This ... Gonna try it this weekend... 🤗👍
Grwat ciseo beautiful piece if you store your clear coats and finishes inside the house where the climate is controlled they wont dry out on you again beautiful piece
Thank you for the tip
Think imma build this .. love the video man
Nice job on that table.
Thanks
Help yourself next time by putting your table top on a blanket on top of your work bench and then attach your table. Like your videos. I'm up between Little Rock and Bryant. Go Hogs!
Thanks for the tip!
awesome video! appreciate your level of skill and knowledge. i just got into woodworking and I built a desk with a similar base and I used this video/ build as a baseline. Thank you and keep em comming. God Bless!
Thanks!
I enjoy your videos. I also like the style of furniture you build. I can watch them multiple times.
Thank you
Great video!
Matt enjoyed the vid.I,m getting ready to start woodworking.I,m a newbe keep up the good work.
Are you related to Kenny Chesney? LOL.AWSOME WORK.Easy to follow instructions. Thanks
Naw, lol
Nice video as always. You should use a slot cutting bit for your tabletop fastens.
Thank you! U are the best
Great job Matt.
Thanks!!
Just spent an hour watching your videos and I dont even have woodworking tools 😂😂 you definitely make it look easy though and I will follow your tutorials when I do get tools!!
Thank you
This is my next project for my metal detecting livestream I am hoping to start soon. Great video! Beautiful job on that Bar!!
Hello from Cataula, Georgia! Love this build! Saving to make...one day 😉 LOVE the fist bump!
Nice build
That’s so awesome thank you for sharing I have learned so much from you
Glad to help
How does a person go about buying your plans for the projects you’ve done thank you very much have a wonderful weekend
For the top...I have found it easier to plane the boards rather than trimming the edges... it squares them nicely as well.
Would love to see you do an adjustable height standing desk that can be cranked up/down.
Just an observation not not picking. But I noticed a hole on the top of the table where there is a knot. You could take some epoxy and fill that before you stain it of coarse so you can sand it down. That will help keep that knot from falling out and not have a hole int the table later down the road. Great video and table God bless you and your family
Love your projects and tutorials brother.👍🏼👍🏼 Thanks
Thank you 👊🏻
@@731Woodworks going to tackle your coffee bar design into an entry way table this weekend
Awesome! Let me know how it turns out
Great video Matt. It was very helpful insight!
Glad it was helpful!
I like ur Wood work designs. I would like to see a kitchen island when u work on it.
Thank you
Nice job as always Matt!
Thank you!
Nice job! Well done!
took a look at that paint sprayer...it is now in my wishlist on amazon lol
👊🏻
I have a build video request. A how to on a Shadow Box would be great, there is not what I would call a really good video on one of these out there.
good idea.
finally, someone that actually explains what the hell is going on.
Excellent Project!
Glad you like it!
I love that you level out everything! Definitely making this one! Wont be as smooth as yours though haha
You should have a compilation video of you saying #tubafour, I will watch it at least 100 times, guaranteed.
lol that would be hilarious
superbe réalisation
Hello sir. Happy 4th of July! Thank you for making this video. You gave me a good ideal on making this as well I think I'll make this for my wife. She's been asking for me to make a side table for her items in the kitchen. Keep up the good work. And thank you for supporting our guys in blue and green.
Happy 4th of July! Thank you for the kind words! I am so glad the video was helpful to you!
Thanks, Matt
learning lots from you in Aussie Land.
You’re welcome
You have some interesting choices for background music 😁
👊
Great video! Nice work!
Glad you liked it!
Good to see you again, great project boss.
Thank you!
Great build as always....Thanks for sharing !
Thank you
Awesome!
Thank you
minwax prestain IS the way to go when staining SPF wood. I've always had good results with it.
I just found your channel and probably 8 videos in before I realized you are in AR. I’m not far from you in Redfield. Love your content, good work 👍
Thank you. Welcome neighbor
@@731Woodworks I'm currently building a house with a farmhouse theme and plan to build a lot of the furniture. I've got almost the same tool arsenal as you, so your videos are right up my alley
Awesome
Beautiful table. The white really make the table top stand out.
I have the Kreg pocket hole tool but just ordered a quality dowel hole jig from Canada.
Was wandering why you rarely use dowel pins?
Great informative video, just like all of your other videos, well done.
Barry
Thank you. Pocket holes are just easier
@@731Woodworks Thanks for the reply. Barry
Great to see another video from you. Always enjoyed watching your content! 👊
Thank you!
Awesome build. You always put out great content.
I appreciate that
Nice work! I sure thought those bench dogs were just used snuff cans till you did a close up
lol. They work great!
Matt, can you go into more detail on where you place the Brad nails for farm house end table?
I’m building mine right now and wish I could share a picture here of the outcome 😀
How many coats of primer and paint do you put on the base? I’d like to put mine outside next to the BBQ as side table. Thank you
I typically do one coat of primer. 3-4 coats of paint
@@731Woodworks thank you 👍
I would normally never watch a build video that long but I enjoyed it. Just wondering why you did not use the planer for the legs and the table top?
Thanks. Keeping it simple and approachable for those that don't have a planer.
@@731Woodworks I get it, thanks. As someone who does not have a planer and seeing it sitting there my internal voice was saying "Use the planer" because I want to use the planer lol
Great videos!
Thank you
Great video. You’ve inspired me to build this!
Go for it! Let me know how it comes out!
Thanks for sharing this project, Matt! I love it! I want to make this my next project to try and sell. (I've only built two things so far, as I'm a rank amateur). I did some investigating and I am not seeing anyone marketing farmhouse furniture in my area. So, I'd like to try to carve a niche out for myself here, if possible. I picked up a couple great ideas from your video too, and I'm really excited about that because they'll save me money in this ridiculous lumber price pandemic. I did notice that you didn't plug the pocket holes. Do you still leave pocket holes open in projects, or does it just depend on the project? God bless you and thanks again!

Absolutely enjoy your videos. Thank you for the ideas and inspiration. Do you have a video on the flags you build?
Yep. Several on the channel. Just search Flag 731 Woodworks, you should see them
Great Job! I love the 3x3 legs and the new stain color. We noticed the new video right away, my husband and I are big fans. Really liked the bloopers at the end, we got tickled when your wife gave you a fist bump.
Ha ha. Thank y’all for watching
i dont know if you listen to country music, but has anyone ever told you that you look AND sound just like Craig Morgan?
Loved the video. Learned a couple of new things including how you use those fasteners. A couple of questions though if you don't mind. One, do you thin your primer and paint prior to spraying it, and if so what is your ratio? And two, why do you brush the clear coat instead of spraying it? you'd think that would eliminate the brush strokes and more sanding (yuck). Thanks for the cool videos. VFB
Thanks. I just prefer to brush it on.
I usually do 1 coat of primer. 2 to 3 coats of paint
If you have a lathe you can make the little stands on that for cheaper then 20 dollars
Great build video. A good balance of work and talk about the build.
I noticed that you left the flaws in the wood when you finished it. Others have filled in the knots with epoxy on the top, and in one of the legs is a big "hole" for lack of better terms, that could have been filled with filler before painting.
I'm not criticizing your work, I am just curious as to why you left them and this being a customer's work.
Thank you
I've done several projects for this particular customer and they like the more rustic look of the knots and holes (as do my wife and I). Several of the pieces we have built for ourselves, we have left the knot holes exposed. We just like the look. And the customer also likes the look. Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it.
Great video man... I really like the flags... Molon labe!
Luis Barrueta thanks
That bar is beautiful, that could also be one of those tables behind your couch ?
Very nice😁
Awesome video, thank you
Linda from Ct
? Did you make the boss her mail sorter yet , ?
Thank you. No sorter yet
I follow you on Instagram. But just found your TH-cam. Enjoying your videos.
Thanks
my house looks like yours, I have built that bar and put it behind the couch. p.s. I hate sanding to
The bar is nice
....Or, if you do leave glued up boards on your wooden work bench. You can put some wax paper underneath so your boards do t stick.
Very nice! Any chance you have a video for stools to fit this table? Thanks.
Sputting paper down on work bench will save it from glue squeeze out and keep table flat
Thank you
I'm in the process of building this table. I really appreciate your approach as well as your Christian witness. How offset do you have the top from the frame? 2 inches on each side?
Thanks. That sounds right.
Looks amazing, you do great work. Hey are you in Arkansas, I only ask because I live in Arkansas and I am starting my own homestead channel and know a bunch of TH-camrs. Keep up the great work! 😎👍 John. Oh yeah almost forgot another cheap bench dog cheat is old rattle can lids.
Thanks. Yes sir I am in Arkansas
731 Woodworks maybe we could meet sometime, I am new to Arkansas, from Arizona. I will reach out via email, do you have your email in the description? Are you a subscriber of Jeff @Bobblehead homestead, by any chance? He is local as well and my friend Stephen @ Hickory Ridge Homestead. If you have time go check them out. I don’t have any videos up and going yet. Love woodworking, metal fab, automotive and general DIY. Really enjoy your channel. 😎👍
@@johnpiegzik298 You can reach out to me on social media. Links are in the description of this video to each. Thanks!
Hello Matt. I am just finally finishing my first Sofa Table of your design. My question is, Should I always buy # 1 lumber. I had some problems with warping on my Tubasix lumber. Thanks, John
I buy #1 or #2 when I can
Hey Matt, I love this video and am gonna try and do this to surprise my wife this weekend while she's visiting friends! Quick questions, I don't have a router or a table saw to make the slots for the table top fasteners - is there another alternative you'd recommend? Would small corner braces fastened snug but not overly tight work? Thanks for all you do!
Can the smaller trim router use regular size router bits or do they make specific router bits just for the trim routers that are smaller or don’t do the bigger cuts like full size routers ?
It uses 1/4” collet bits. There are large diameter bits that won’t fit
#tubatwo 😆😆
It’s so proper it hurts foflmao!
Roflmao* - was laughing too hard to type 🙃🤣
lol 👊
Hey Matt...great video.....nice table bro....but I recommend vou to lay your table top over on your workbench and then lay your frame on top of it for a hassle free installation of those z fasteners .....way easier that way I guess....I've learned this way of installing fasteners from a great youtuber name jon peters woodworking ....check out his channel he has some cool and great tips .....any way jus a suggestion ....cheers and stay blessed my man !!!!!😀😀😀👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Just came across this video. How did you fix your uneven table legs ? seems I have that problem alot. Thanks.
Excellent as usual.
Music meh
I appreciate the feedback. I'll work on the music side of the videos to make that better. Thanks again
Good work thanks for all the info
what’s the width and length
I don’t recall off hand
Loving these videos! You have showed me some easier ways of doing some things that will make my projects more efficient so thank you! One thing I've noticed...when you stain your projects, do you not apply the stain and then wipe it off at some point or do you just not show that part? Is it not necessary? Thank you.
I do. I apply the stain and about 5 minutes later, take a clean rag and wipe off any excess.
@@731Woodworks Thank you for that clarification! I've been doing that but thought you had found a magical way to not have to. I appreciate your response very much and thank you again for your videos. You've helped me to be better and I appreciate you very much.
You’re welcome
Hey Matt, thank you, great job.. How did you fix the unbalanced table? I just made it and have the same issue. Great job and thank you again.
Thanks. Here is how to stop the wobble th-cam.com/users/shorts8lMWQ7Ka-tc?feature=share
AWESOME WORK I LOVE WATCHING, BUT I NOTICED THE TABLE WAS ROCKING. I HAD AN 8 FOOT BAR I BUILT SIMILAR TO THAT AND IT ROCKS LIKE CRAZY HOW DO I FIX THAT?
If you have one of the legs that are a little longer than the others it will rock on you. Sit on a flat surface and determine which one is the culprit and take your sander and sand it down a little at a time until it sits flush.
@@731Woodworks AWESOME THANK YOU
Is there a reason why you didn't use 4x4s and cut them down to 3x3 for the legs just wondering if I'm missing something is it cheaper using 2x4 or something
Very good work, and also what type of router bit did you use for the edgings?
It’s a round over bit
Really enjoy your videos but I’ve always wanted to know why you only sand to 180-grit as opposed to 220 or something finer. Thanks.
Thank you. 120 grit is perfectly smooth to me. I see no need to go higher.
