90 year old farmhouse table repair

This 90 year old table has been thru a basement flood, left out behind the old farmhouse for years. It is low now and used to can garden vegetables for years. The legs had been cut down thru the years they are falling apart and need to be replaced. The skirt is loose and will have to be reinforced. Keeping the replacement legs the current height and to look as though they had always been on the table is the goal. Watch how I achieved this look.

I love how you renewed it but kept the old character.

I wanted to keep the character of the table as original as possible. Back when this was built often they would use what ever was on hand. If you watch as nails were removed some of them were 5” long. Thanks for watching

Wow, those legs were so chewed up! We were wondering if you were going to save them, but how? Yes, those new legs look good and give that table new life!

[@LarryRohr-he7lj]

The legs were literally falling apart. There really wasn’t any way to save them.

You took a piece of furniture that looked like it was going to fall apart… but you made it to look like I would use it in my home. Thank you for the great video… from Georgia

Thank you so much. Very encouraging to me.

They, the legs look so much better and sturdy. I got nervous when you was using that ax😬

Thanks for the safety concerns. I have a sign in my shop as a safety reminder with a picture after a man holding his hands up with fingers extended and it says “best tools take care of they no extras in stock”.
