This is nice when you're having extra company over and you need another table for a dinner.
And then you could hang that on a wall in your garage or your shed until you need it again.
Paint a nice design on it and simply hang it on the wall as an art piece. Remove it from the wall and use it as a table top when guests come over. Yes, I know, it’s a genius idea. 🤣
Well that Hubby is a real keeper.
I was taught in shop class (eons ago) to use 0000 steel wool to apply stain instead of a brush or a rag. That way all the stain goes into the wood, including the oil, instead of the rag soaking up the stain and oil. It also smooths the wool a bit more. Then use fresh 0000 steel wool to smooth the raised grain between coats.
Watch for oil on new steel wool as others have advised that the oil they use on steel wool causes black dots on Wood.
Feel free to correct me if that was only with one wood or one brand of steel wool.

Bet he cleans his car with steel wool too 😂😂
The black and copper stenciling is outstanding
I liked it much better before the stencil.
What a great idea for the folding table.
To make it non folding ?
Both are excellent, interchangeable table tops is fantastic , think of how useful it would be have a variety of colours, brilliant idea. Thank you
Wow! I wasn’t expecting THAT type repurposing! Amazing 🤩
The game table vid is GR8
Wow that table looks beautiful!
Beautiful work! Turning a card table into a beautiful wood dining table…Amazing! And stenciling on wood making a fantastic design, Love it!
Wow!!! I love this so much. Your wife is a lucky woman indeed.
I have a feeling the wife has tons of diy stuff around the house. Maybe even a little spoiled lol
I ALWAYS CLICK WHEN I SEE YOU POP UP AND IM NEVER DISAPPOINTED. 💕
You made that table top look way to easy with the nail gun. I keep telling myself I need to invest in one but always change my mind when I see the cost. 🤣 Maybe one day.
Great Video! Fast Easy and to the Point
Thank you! You are an excellent instructor.
Couple more things to add.
Glue, it's "stronger" but only when applied properly. Thin coats on both pieces being glued, not a heavy coat on one side. This pushes the glue into the grain on both sides, and letting the glue surfaces meld with each other ensuring the strongest bond.
Glue is sorta stronger as well. It is however, weaker to expansion stresses and shock forces. Over time glue will become brittle as well. Always best to use both screws/nails and glue.
For the trim, you should attach a bit of fir strip along the end cut sides as nails and screws don't hold well into the end grain. Attach a fir strip along the edge, and attach the finish trim to that instead/as well for added robustness of the finish trim.
I would also recommend getting countertop epoxy to help give the top some dent/gouge resistance. Even with poly, pine is soft, and will definitely start showing damage fast.
Final thing. Save yourself that folding table and take a look online, like Etsy, and find some nice legs to put the table on. Willing to bet you can find some cheaper than the table your putting the table top on.
Overall though, I do like a simple build though, especially one that I can reuse wood I already have for. And this did come out looking nice.
Very true
I THINK HE FORGOT TO MENTION THAT IT CAN ALL BE PUT AWAY EASILY
I need to find a man who loves doing projects like the table lol!! Awesome job. They make refinishing furniture look so easy. Great ideas too.
The narration was so relaxing, he's like the Bob Ross of DIY's
This video is deeply soothing. I endeavor to have this energy with my kids.
I'm going to go ahead and leave a comment--nice job, it looks great!
Nice simplistic table top. If you have a router with an ogee or 1/4 roundover bit, it would add a decorative touch and avoid splinters from the edges. Thanks for the dual project video.
Both very nice
This makes a nice bike ramp for the grand kids. They will find it hanging garage and lay one end on the garbage can. Perfect ramp.
PLEASE where did U get stencil. Love it.
I have seen tables like this in fancy homes, i.e. magazines, n the net in home decor with chairs. Whodaknew! Wowzer, great job sir.
Very beautiful thanks 👍
Great idea looks wonderful
Folding card table cover is beautiful✨ Your narration is improving- the number of times you said "..go ahead and .." or ".. just go ahead and .." is going down🙌🏻 😉
I know!!! I am finally able to catch myself more often.
@@GoodlyEarth Well I admire you for making these videos and I know that it’s a lot harder than it looks🙌🏻
Here’s a good way to train yourself to avoid filler words or phrases. Buy an electronic VIBRATION correcting dog collar with a remote for causing vibration. Best for beginners. Buying the electric shock correction collar will accelerate your training. Get results FAST!
Grab an assistant such as wife, kid, or neighbor and give them the remote, with instructions for using it. If your assistant is an adult, have a couple beers or drinks. Oh yeah, have someone else take videos of your training. 👍🏻
Turn on the device and fasten the collar around your neck, centering the vibration divise in the front of your neck. Begin your demonstration and speak smoothly and confidently. When you say 'uh' or 'er',stumble over your words, or say 'go ahead and…' your assistant will use the remote to cause the collar to vibrate. Repeat the process, increasing the strength of vibration as needed. Good luck and go ahead and have fun!!🤩😂😂😂😂🤣
These were awesome. Thanks for the inspiration.
This is the BEST IDEA EVER!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! LOVE IT! AMAZING!!♥️♥️♥️
🎉wow! I wish i had found this sooner. Could have saved lots of time from making a farm house table. Its all good. I love my table and i love yours too.
Please tell us where do you find a stencil like that?
She said it was a wall stencil. Hmm not sure where maybe a big craft store or where they sell wallpaper? Lovely looking and the is awesome as well !!
Amazing job well done I'm impressed
LOVED IT VERY NICE ,HOME HANDY MAN ,HAPPY WIFE ☺️😉
Beautiful workmanship! Thank you for sharing 🤗
LOOKS fun enough for me!
You’re so interesting to watch! Really great video voice (even for Audible). Great story teller! (1st DIY)
NICE & LOVELY 💚
Gorgeous!💕
Very nice wood card table makeover
I use the towel method too. When staining. Works great
I love what you done with that table overkay
Gave me a great idea. Perfect for when you need an extra table for the holidays! Thanks
I honestly thought you were gonna detach the top plastic white part and re attach the wood top you made. Still awesome work. I'm happy someone else had the same invasive thought and actually did it lol
Fabulous idea! I have tables like this that were stored in a shed with stains on them. This will be a great way to fix their appearances. 💕♥️♥️❤️
you know what else works.. a table cloth
When wood filling nail holes on bare wood place a piece of painters tape BEFORE you nail it in each spot, nail thru the tape then fill and sand with the tape in place, final sand after you remove it, the tape keeps the fill off the bare wood where it will cause the stain to take different if it gets in the grain. Your welcome.
Nice ty
I’m a beginner and this is a really helpful tip! I didn’t put much care in wiping away putty and glue on a recent project because I thought sanding would be sufficient. Well…it soaked into the wood and resulted in a splotchy stain in those areas. It was really disappointing, but a good lesson learned!
I’ll use this tip for sure!
Remember the "headlights"? Thanks for the tip
My welcome?
Awesome idea
Lol... This reminds me of when my office turned an old metal framed table into a nice conference room table. Basically did what he shows in the video, only with higher end wood, etc. Plus, we did a frame around the legs also... which helped provide support and made it look really professional. Lastly we paid a company to float a single piece of smoked glass on the top (after finishing the wood and stuff of course).
Beautiful thank you for sharing
That is one of the coolest ideas I have ever seen for an outdoor folding table. We have two like this that we use on our patio for gatherings. I'm going to get started on this next week. Excellent video and now a new subscriber.
My comment has to do with the size of the finishing nails. If your using 1x6 boards and your nails are only 1 1/4” long that means only a quarter inch is actually going into the table top which isn’t really enough to hold securely. I understand that you don’t want the nails poking through the top but you could use a 1 1/2” or even a 1 3/4” and the nails wouldn’t be long enough to protrude through the entire 2” of both boards put together. This is especially true since you plan on removing the top and folding the base when not in use. The more you move the top, the more chance of that slight 1/4” pull out.
It also looks like he didn’t glue the long boards together, which means the cross boards are the only things holding it together & although glued across it there are too many weak spots. The edging won’t keep it together either.
the boards are 3/4" thick, so 1 1/4" nails penetrate at least 1/2". They just hold the boards until the glue dries.
Weren’t you listening? Those nails were one and an inch quarter.
@@Elizabeth-rq1vi instruction vids like this make me laugh it’s going to last about 6months to a yr before it falls apart, all the comments saying they will copy it too 🤦🏻♂️
@@spycedezynuk yup I wanted to smack him putting poly on like that. But when your making a table out of another better table I guess it doesn't matter
Very, very creative n lovely.
You make it look so easy
Those were both great ideas! Thank you
So glad!
Love this!
The wood table top is brilliant but heaven forbid the legs fold and that comes down on a foot!!😮
I think the top is nice on the
card table, ,but the legs s should be painted AND reinforced. I can't best a mishmash. Those added chairs and table runner and black table legs looked terrible together.
Kristine, Folding tables like this one have a couple of different locking mechanisms so using it with a wooden overlay wouldn’t be any different than using it the way you bought it. The overlay doesn’t change the safety of use in any way.
Very nice project and not complicated at all 👍
Beautiful work congratulations!
Thank you Julie, the table turned out lovely, where did you find your stencil from?
Wow awesome thank you for sharing. 🤗👍😆🎸
Paint a nice design on it and simply hang it on the wall as an art piece. Remove it from the wall and use it as a table top when guests come over. Yes, I know, it’s a genius idea. 🤣
I love this! I'm going to ask Hubby to do this while he's off in the winter months.
WOW love that table❤
You should have used a pre stain sealer to control the blotchyness
Frank, you are so correct. It was a thought and next time I will
Still a great idea. Anything to cover cold plastic.
Great idea 💖💖
I love your idea"DIY" Thanks for sharing!
Nice! Now you could make 3/4" thick cladding and cover the legs! Total barn table!
Beautiful.well done.
Really nice, great job! 👏☺️
The dialogue reminds me of Bob Ross
nice table. how would you disguise the legs.
Gunstock is my favorite stain, too! I love this idea. Thanks for sharing.
so nice. you have my subscribe… Thank you
I love this and it came out so beautiful i am from Nigeria I would love to know the names of those machine tools used.
Thankyou for sharing.
I love that table top. What are the measurements for that project?
6 feet long and around 30 inches wide.
Remember to measure your specific table if you are going to try this.
The gunstock stain is blotchy. Longer smoother strokes with a brush are better, to avoid the obvious stop and start shifts in color and rub in later with the same long smooth strokes of your rag. The cracks between the boards will be bothersome as well; you might want to rip your boards first; or fill the cracks with matching sawdust and white glue mixed, before finishing.
I don't have much experience woodworking, but watch lots of videos.
I'm surprised that, on the long boards, you didn't joint the edges (there are videos about how to joint without a jointer), then glue them together, clamping along the long sides to eliminate gaps.
Nice look! But how much additional weight did the woodwork add? One reason for having a folding table is it’s easy to move and store. Extra weight doesn’t help with that.
Beautiful
Question. Could you possible make this a bit wider and longer allowing the boards to extend off the edge a bit. Say maybe 10” on each end?
Wonderful job you did loved it a lot.
Great idea! You can still fold up the legs and store if need be. I don't know why my favorite part was when you said your wife's favorite color is "gunstock".
Cool project !!
Great job 👏🏼 beautiful!
Clever idea, really nice result!
“One and an inch quarter” 😂
Wow great
i would like to see how the table looks like after 3 or 4 months. I would guess that there will be gaps, bows, and warping between boards.
Wood movement may not be kind to that table top.
It will look great a year from now
I came here for these comments 🎉
Genius idea!
Such beautiful work! Thank you!
If I had the money to own all of these tools, I would just go out and buy a new table😂
Love it
Maybe one day I'll get to use it
Defeats the purpose of the table.
What I want to know is where to buy that folding table.
Very cute 🥰 nice work can you make
One for me?
Dude. Thats amazing.
I'm 10 months late. Which folding table is that. I would love to get that specific brand and model. Please reply to me as I have been looking for that specific one for so long now.
My hubby did the same thing to a large dog crate that we had in the house. We then could use it as a side table between the two couches.
How do you keep it from tipping? Do you fasten it to the folding table?🤔
How practical would it be to make a version of the folding table that still folds?
You just lift the wood off and fold the table like usual
