Just watched...great job I enjoyed watching from Ontario. I have been building furniture from old rough cut reclaimed pine. So I was checking what others build. Again you were funny and informative good work.
I have been following you for a long time, but I rarely write. Thanks for all the wonderful videos. We are very far away, but I send you a warm greeting from Capri, a small island in Italy.
Marie, Cool project and what a great way to repurpose wood so it doesn't end up in a landfill. A suggestion for using chisels - get a 10" or so scrap 1x 4 and glue a piece of leather to fit to use as a strop. In this project, after chiseling out one bracket pocket, take your chisel and drag it across the strop a few times in one direction holding it to follow the angle of the blade on one side and keeping it flatten the other. You can do it any number of ways, like ten times on one side and then ten one the other or any other combination. This will keep it sharp for the next pocket and you won't have to use a stone at all. You can make your strop block fancy with a handle or just leave it as a block, that's up to you. Or, just search TH-cam. You have a great channel. Thanks.
DIY Montreal, I beg to differ with you calling yourself an "intermediate" woodworker. My wood dust loving friend, you`re wayyyyy above an intermediate. You do awesome videos and amazing work. Very impressive. Well done on the chisel work also.
looks so good! trhanks for the inspiration!...I found Japanese chisels area game changer...much strighter and built for stright edge as opposed to standard chisels
TH-cam has only just decided to show me this, despite being a subscriber! Love the finished product. I'm from Perth Australia.. I first came to Montreal on about August 29th, 1998.. and wow do I remember just how hot Montreal can be at that time of year! I was doing two trips to Montreal per year for work pre-pandemic, and I would aim for one in June, and one in October each year, just to avoid August :D
I have 7 chainsaws but no tracksaw, I admire your dedication to work outside in the heat we had this week. Just walking 2 blocks to the store, I was "trampe a lavette ". Looks very nice 👌
First off very nice project. I am going to start looking for some sort of beam to try it. Moving on your chiseling technique was perfect, it got the job done and looked great. Thanks for the video stay hydrated.
Well I have something to say about your chisel work. It usually takes quite a while to master chiseling wood neatly and precisely. Beginners get frustrated sometimes and never get proficient. But you do not fall into this group. You did a great job! 🙂
I love reclaimed/repurposed things. Very nice! My only suggestion is to consider a pressure washer to first clean the beam, but for all I know it may have changed the finish. Or maybe just a graden hose, some soap and a brush to get rid of the dirt and dust.
I love doing projects with old/rustic beams! Over the years I have gotten a little smarter when it comes to finding those pesky hidden nails by purchasing an inexpensive metal detector. It has paid for itself! No more damages saw blades LOL . . . I absolutely love the side table! Your chiseling techniques looked just fine to me. 😀
Looks fantastic, i know what you mean about hand tools though what may have looked even better than the metal plates is some really dark wood like ebony and made 2 bow ties for each side?
When i first saw you pull out the metal plates I was unsure on how it would work but it looks awesome! Great job, now cool off! With a coaster of course....
The end grain looks wonderful ! I always like the look of well-finished end grain and that beam gives so much with few joins. You must be glad you saved it. That hand chiselling looks fine to me. For hand tool sharpening, have you seen Rob Cosman's channel ? (you probably have ) . I'm going to start practising his method as soon as I get a suitable diamond stone.
it turned out really neat. looks heavy too I would consider using that cavity as some secret stash place, and add removable plug at the bottom to close / hide that stash.
The funny thumb nail (you leaning back with the beam) got me to click on the video. Your woodworking skills, explanation of steps, and tools kept me interested. The ending, and watching the next video of the outdoor table with castle joints, got me to subscribe. You were made for this! I can't wait to watch your older videos.
Nice table! Some vintage wheels would be cool on that. It reminds me of the old chopping blocks. When I use the newer plates or straps, I hit them with my grinder to give them a forged look.
I absolutely LOVE this project. The story behind it is priceless.
Thank you! Love when a piece of furniture has a story behind it.
Beautiful result Marie👏👏👏
Very cool. It’s like the support beam was the heart of the house and now the house still has heart
Beautifully said! Love when a piece of furniture has a story :)
Wow I just scored 3 well seasoned 8' beams and like this build. It's on my next possible build. Thank you for sharing.
I like it! What a great way to preserve a little history.
Very nice, Marie, well done!
Thank you!
GREAT project Marie. Who would EVER toss a beam like that one????
The construction crew who worked on my house if I hadn't stopped them!!!
I can wait to try this! I received a beam as a gift and this is what I will make
Thank
You for sharing
Beautiful result for your hard work.
Many many thanks

What a great way to reuse old wood that has a history of it's own.

Many thanks Alessandro! I visited Capri once not so long ago. So beautiful! Thanks for following along on my journey.
What a beautiful job you made of this. Excellent.
Nice table, I like better than I thought I would.
Beautiful job young lady!!! Very impressed
Love it! No one's going to run off with it
Haha that's for sure!
An Amazing piece of Fruniture with a great history. Well done!!
Great project. Thank you for sharing. Wonderful way to secure them together. Stay warm, safe, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
Beautiful table!
Turned out much better than I thought it would, brilliant thank you

Nice video, thanks for the idea. I have a beam that's been kicking around here for about 20 years
That's really nice looking piece of furniture.
Appreciate it!
Looks great!
Thanks!
Great build.
Really a great looking piece of furniture....
Looks nice
Nice work on the table Marie! Thank you for sharing the video with us!💖👌👍😎JP
You bet!
@@DIYMontreal 😎
Wow! Love it!
Thank you! 😊
DIY Montreal, I beg to differ with you calling yourself an "intermediate" woodworker. My wood dust loving friend, you`re wayyyyy above an intermediate. You do awesome videos and amazing work. Very impressive. Well done on the chisel work also.
Thanks, appreciate it! I have come a long way over the past few years, but still feel like I'm learning on every project.
@@DIYMontreal - Same here but you most definitely learn faster than some of us dust makers. Love your videos, they`re very well made. Keep`em coming!
Yes you're right .She is good and fully equipped. My DIY version is my nails and glue..Thanks Marie for great videos.

The result looks awesome 😍
Amazing!!! Congrats!
Thanks!
So beautiful and unique peace . Well done
I have a piece of wood like that and I had no idea. Very creative. Thanks for sharing it with us.
You bet!
Un projet simple mais rustic.... Fait à 40°c? J'ai senti çà à Ottawa et c'était tuant! Bravo, bon travail!
Officiellement il faisait 32 ressenti 43 ! Beurk. Merci!
@@DIYMontreal tu es brave
The wood is beautiful. Very nice job.
I have 7 chainsaws but no tracksaw, I admire your dedication to work outside in the heat we had this week. Just walking 2 blocks to the store, I was "trampe a lavette ".
Looks very nice 👌
Haha, I can relate to that. Had to take breaks and go dry off my t-shirt inside every once in a while ;)
The end result is so beautiful 😍😍
very cool! a glass top would be a good look too
Looks awesome! 🙂👍
Thanks!
Excellent job!
Gorgeous
Complimenti ottima idea...n'1
Looks like the beams to be at least 100 years before it was cut down , love seeing that being repurposed thank you
I've never done any chiseling either, by the look of it, you did great! Beautiful finish! Love the table. TFS!
Thanks! Watched a bunch of videos and I guess it paid off!
@@DIYMontreal You did very well! :)
That is such a great ideal and a brilliant way to repurpose those wood blocks like that. I live it.
great idea. I have some 8x8 cedar leftover that I was looking for something to do with.
Très beau résultat madame DIY !!!!
Merci!
Yyyyyep I'm definitely making this.
Awesome, enjoy!
First off very nice project. I am going to start looking for some sort of beam to try it. Moving on your chiseling technique was perfect, it got the job done and looked great. Thanks for the video stay hydrated.
Thanks so much!
I have about 10 or so 6x6 timbers that used to be the edging of our driveway. This looks like a good idea for little seating around the fire pit.
Sweet! Good idea
That is awesome and I love the part where you sand and sand and sand! Very funny!
Wow, that looks fantastic Marie, great job 👍.
Thanks so much! 😊
I love your style. I use the polycrylic instead of polyurethene as well. Those growth rings! I love old wood!
Love this piece of furniture, mighty impressed.
Good job thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Great job! I will hopefully find some wood to try my hand at this project.
Hope you will!
Very creative!!
Go girl you got it 👍 👏 💪
really awesome job!
Thanks!
Wow, an excellent idea perfectly executed!!!
Fantastique, Marie! Le résultat est magnifique. Bravo!

Turned out great! Nice save and good inspiration for others that are holding onto that one piece of potential......
With the recent lumber prices, you bet I held onto it ;) Was like a brick of gold lol
It turned out great. I recommend pressure washing first, then sanding.
Sometimes you do with what you have.
What a stunning piece of furniture you created. Great video
Thank you very much!

Very nice job, well done!! You did a great job with the chisel! Very appropriate application!! Looks great
4.25 I feel your pain 😄😄... excellent project Maria
Ha thanks!
oh, wow. this turned out great, love the history of it. very unique piece! 👌
Thanks! I like the piece ok, but it's the history behind it that makes me really love it.
So cool. That's a great idea for a table. Never saw one quite like that before.
Looks fantastic, i know what you mean about hand tools though what may have looked even better than the metal plates is some really dark wood like ebony and made 2 bow ties for each side?
Oh wow, one day I'll try my hand at bow ties!
Great video thanks capergal🇨🇦
Good job!! Thanks for sharing
Super Projekt 👍💯

Clever idea, wonderful back story and really good results. It will be a special addition to your room for many years to come. Well done, Cheers!!
Another great video. I love your humour! Thanks for making these videos to share with us.
Table does look great.
Love the table idea, ya almost lost me at the metal plates for fasteners but the black did them some favors.
Well you little chisler. I see you're beaming with pride. 😁👍
Really nice job, Marie! Turned out great 👌🏻
Thank you!

Brilliant idea to do with the big piece of wood!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks! Really pleased to have this piece of the home's history on display.
Nice table! Some vintage wheels would be cool on that. It reminds me of the old chopping blocks. When I use the newer plates or straps, I hit them with my grinder to give them a forged look.
Excellent work and a perfect presentation too!
Nice job
Such a great project 👏 like it very much!
Thanks!
