REFURBISHING A TABLE

- This is a video of how to tile a table top.
I needed to replace the table top on my outside table, so I thought, a tiled table top would be a good project. It took a few evenings to do after work.
I hope this gives you a guide of how to do this.

Beautifully executed. Clear, to the point, explain progress and why. Thank you.
Very nice work & explaining things as you went along. Thanks again.
Great video. Really well made and very informative.
Thanks !!!
Looks beautiful.. Amazing renovation..
It looks great. I like the coloring of the tile.
Looks great 👍
Beautiful job
Bravo. Excellent.
Last week I bought a lovely old cast iron table with nice heart shaped sides and I painted it black.The top is like an old foot scrape pattern which looks nice and you could put stuff on it as it is but i've bought some b/w pattern tiles and will tile the top and the sides{only 30mm drop down} then put some pencil tiles round the edge to make a slight upstand and use it as a bird table.
I'm doing something exactly like this but not sure if I should use concrete tile backer on plywood, yours looks great congrats on job well done
Well done.
Great video. I am loathe to complain about work people do, especially for TH-cam videos. But the music. Omg. It’s just too much to hear this music for an entire video, especially when the levels don’t promote hearing the words. Thanks for your work!
Sorry you can’t hear the words but it is an instrumental tune. Don’t fear the bass!
Excellent video. One question: do you really want to use any fasteners--oval nails, screws, whatever--to affix a wooden rail to a plywood edge, even marine plywood?
Really like your production style. And thanks for the tutorial - have an old credenza that is going to get a tarted up : )
I had to look up what a credenza is. It sounds like a good project to do. All the best with your project.
Looks really good Angus! I didn't know you could tile ply wood and would never have thought of putting those runners underneath good idea.
Very attractive table renovation. Congratulations. Did you anything to the underside surface of the table to weatherproof? Did you apply any varnish to protect it from the elements? It's now almost 2 and half years since you made the table, how is it holding up so far?
Hi. Yes the table is holding up really well. I didn’t seal the underneath as I used marine ply. All I needed to do was reseal the edging last year. I just rubbed this down and put some oil on it.
Thanks 👍, looking to do this for a garden table have been reading up and lots of diffrent advice on fixing tiles to plywood. How has your pva and adhesive method held up?
al math Hi the grouting has cracked slightly even though I used flexible grout suit able for outside . The rest of the table and tiling has held up okay. Thanks for watching.
@@AngusMcGregor thanks for taking the time to reply 👍
Hey Angus…any worries about the difference in expansion between the tiles and the plywood? I think I would have done a tile mesh between the wood and tiles just to make sure that there are no cracking.
The tiles have been fine with no movement or cracking. The only movement has been with the edging where the rain has got into the gap between the beading and the tiles.
Your good
Thanks for the tutorial. What is PVA?
Hi It is like a glue but you can water it down, it is an an emulsion, it is good for sealing and glueing porous materials, particularly for wood, paper and cloth.
Hi, I’m interested in doing a similar project. Would it be ok to use a sealant/varnish on the wood under the tiles to further protect it? online it says not to use PVA for tiling projects. But i don’t have experience with tiling before. Thanks!
I wouldn’t use a varnish as the tile adhesive may not stick. As you mentioned, if you brush PVA on, will help as this will seal and protect the wood , leave to dry and the put your tile adhesive on. That should do it.
Ok nice. Just out of curiosity, had you thought of using a cement backer board under the tile? Or not necessary? I’m just thinking of the warping of the plywood over time
@@maxcoyne3296 I braced this with the metal strips to try and keep it rigid.
Question, does that type of grout need sealing?
Hi , it doesn’t need sealing. But it might help to avoid it getting too dirty over time.
very helpful video! Why cover the ply with pda?
You don’t necessarily need to put PVA on before tiling as it can react against certain adhesives. I just did this as it was an outside application just to seal the plywood further. Just check that the adhesive you are using won’t react against the PVA.
@@AngusMcGregor good to know. As Im in southern California I think I'll forgo the pda as we get so little rain. Now I'll just go get that second mortgage to pay for the marine ply ;) Wood prices have more than doubled here since covid began :(
@@kenwatkins4365 Regular plywood might be resilient enough if you haven’t got much rain. All the best with your project.
@@kenwatkins4365 And steel. I'm down here in Baja Sur (Mexico) and come to be a real fan of concrete, which it what all the locals use. Even fenceposts, and they're termite proof too.
Wonderful video. Just wanted to note for clarity that you’re cutting a 45° angle on the bead, not a right angle; a right angle is 90° or Square angle, at which the beading is already cut when purchased.
Not a fan of the broken look on the tiles and I would have simply placed the wood board over the top of the old one … placed a thick wood edge and tile the edge down as well
Like other only wish you worked closer to the camera!
i would have put cement board down as a base. Any experts disagree?
this is cool but the nails and the wood used are not rated for outside and will rust and rot out
G M I used marine ply and galvanised nails . There's no rot and rusting so far.
This is still holding up even after the harsh winter. There is no rot or rusting
