How to Make Tabletops for Beginner Woodworkers

In this video I go into detail about the basics of making tabletops for beginner woodworkers and people just starting out. I talk about what wood you need, how to attach it and give a few tips and tricks along the way.
This applies for beginner woodworkers to not only make tabletops but also for making solid wood panels. Many of the principals and tips can be used for this purpose as well.

Great video Ben. Really well put together and some nice editing.
The table top looked good too. 👍

[@lionandbear]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that.
I’m pleased with the tabletop and the main table video will be out in the next couple of weeks. More of a ‘how I built it’ kind of video with all the mistakes and everything lol so should be worth a watch.

Hi Ben, Great job there and good advice, Thanks mate👍

[@lionandbear]

Thanks mate. Really appreciate your comment as always. I’m just building the frame for the table and I’ll be doing a really in depth video on the whole build when it’s done.

[@shaun30-3-mg9zs]

@@lionandbear Great Ben, can't wait

[@lionandbear]

@shaun30-3-mg9zs me either, I’ve needed a new table for ages now! 😂

[@thehobbyguy]

Just came to you from Facebook mate... Subbed

[@lionandbear]

Appreciate it mate

Hi Ben great video, can I ask you how much was the oak in the UK?... over here you wouldn't have got much change from 300 euros

[@lionandbear]

Too bloody much! 🙈 I think I could’ve got it cheaper if I’d been more patient but I wasn’t. I ended up getting it from a place quite a long way from me and the delivery was about £100 on its own.
I’ll explain the story around the oak in my next video about the whole table though mate as it’s a bit of a long story.
