Hi Paul. Just stopping in to say there's no ill will on my part. We have a pretty tight community and folks mean well when they stop by and try to urge someone to call out their influences. But in this case, you did mention the influence of the wedged tenons, so thank you for that. Even if you did take influence from other aspects of the build, I don't really care. I make my projects and videos specifically to encourage people to get inspired and build their own. I don't sell my pieces and I don't discourage people from making exact copies and selling those. Now if someone reproduces my plans or tries to mass-produce my stuff, that would be a problem. But that's not what's happening here. Truth be told, I'd be a total hypocrite if I got upset about your build. EVERYTHING I build is a product of the many things I've seen in the world of furniture. Sometimes I see something and lock it away in my sub-conscious. So much so that I can even convince myself that the idea is somewhat unique when it eventually pops into my head again. But in reality, nothing I make is original. Instead, it's a remix of other peoples' work through the years. Just as their work is likely a remix of work that occurred before theirs. And when it comes to trestle tables, especially ones with a modern aesthetic, there's only so much variety. My rule of thumb is to call out influences when appropriate and with as much honesty as I can and I feel like that's what you did here. So, carry on. And hey, at least you got a couple more views. :)
Imitation is the finest form of flattery. I agree with you about giving credit to the inspiration of a design or method. It’s nice to give credit but as you said there are very few if any unique designs or joinery methods. Humans have been joining wood together for thousands of years. So, it’s likely that it’s been done before. We all benefit from standing on the shoulders of giants in our quest to build the better mouse trap. (to mix metaphors)
REAL WOODWORKING with failing tools, a mistake here and there, even blown circuits and lots of sawdust. Thank you for this realistic video. Very informative instructions. Fantastic table.
wow placing the metal straight edge to check the straight edge of your walnut boards was a learning experience for me. I've been woodworking for years and it never occurred to me. I learn something all the time watching these videos.
I've watched jimmy diresta , jay bates , wood whisper, and Matt. You sir are just as good and inspiring. Nice to see a normal guy who probably has a other job , working with no fancy tools in a dirty shop,making such a great looking piece. I hope my table comes out half as good as yours. I will have to watch your video 50 times while doing mine . Good luck sir keep up the good work
Hey man. First of all amazing build I have to say that. The other thing is that I realized you mentioned an up down bit to mortise the breadboard end. I’m my experience rather than using on of those compression bits it’s better to use just a upcut bit. Works everytime
It's my wife's fault. She showed me a walnut table that BYOT build on TH-cam, build #23, which I could easily do with minimal tools. Then she wanted hidden soft close hinges on our cabinets but they were built 30+ years ago and are too thin for them, and other dimensions make the hinges that do not require holes to be drilled to work, so I started looking at building new cabinet doors, which branched into my wanting to build a new coffee table for the living room, and a new floating cabinet for under the TV, and those crap floating shelves they sell at the big box stores would look SO MUCH BETTER and be much stronger if built out of a nice hardwood. Oh crap, now I've been bitten by the woodworking bug again after it has been dormant for about 35 years. Thanks for feeding my new addiction! LOL. I was thinking about building a nice wood bed frame with storage too, and maybe a coffee table with 4 rectangle spots for small pieces of leftover granite counter tops with some nice marbling. Crap, I need a larger shed and new tools. I wish my mom and brother had told me before they got rid of my dad's tools after he passed away. he had QUALITY TOOLS and tons of them. I still have an old Skill circular saw that works perfectly, and is higher quality than pretty much anything you find today, and it is probably 60 years old.
Love the video for several reasons.....1) My shop tools and your shop tools are pretty much on par. No offense to the Wood Whisperer, who I love, but I don't have the tools that guys does. Nice to see someone make quality stuff with a modest shop. 2) High quality video shots. I like the perspective of many shots that showed detail from angles you wouldn't normally see. 3) Length of video and time spent on each step was perfect. Very nice job and thanks for posting.
Like this very much. A great job and video. When you talked about the fear of blowing through the top while drilling I relived my own mistake. My beautiful trestle table was finished and I was drilling it to fasten it to the legs and yep... With three more holes and some dowels I made it look like it was intentional. Keep up the good work.
I love it! And that's how most of my projects go too! It's woodworking for the rest of us and it's awesome. Thanks so much for taking the time to put this together for us. The table turned out great!
Man you really did all of that the hard way. But beautiful table in the end. Glad you admit mistakes though. Most people dont. Respect on the project. Keep up the good work.
Beautiful work, I am blowing my single breaker constantly...I totally get! Thanks for taking the time to document your process, and of course sharing it with the world too ;-)
awesome video. I am working on my table myself and will use threaded inserts for the screws and epoxy them in place. I think it will be more durable then wooden threads. For the rest, love the reality of woodworking you show us.
That is going to be an heirloom table for your grandkids! With a video they can watch to see you and how you made it. Very nicely built with what seems to be the same type tools I have in my garage. I’m actually building a walnut table now and sitting here looking at the top pieces I’m going to glue up after they acclimate from all the cutting and planing. My design will be different but must say I like the way you put yours together! Thanks for sharing.
hi what a really good video. I am planning on making a table just like this but with English oak. I love to see someone who has the same difficulties that I do, only I have to work outside so I am dependant on the UK weather. keep up the good work
That's a great looking table. That will last a lifetime. Thank you for sharing. One question and please don't take this as a insult. But instead of replacing your table saw with a smaller motor why not upgrade the wire and breaker to 20 amp 15 amp is going to always be a problem in a shop. Just thinking long term problem solutions. Thanks again for a great project video. GW
Nice work man! You persevered. I feel for ya, the first 3 years I did any kind of woodworking I didn't have a shop, just a busted up rigid table saw and a drill outside in the wind and rain and I felt like it was always this battle to attain success in my projects (the breaker tripping mid way through the cut was something of a regular occurrence for me too! Soooo frustrating). The fact that you can do this quality of work with those kind of obstacles in place as a momentary constant is very inspiring. Keep up the good work!
I too for much of my woodworking years experienced breaker tripping, but not the power...rather the tablesaw. Seem like I worked it too hard most of the time!
Very nice build. lf I could make a suggestion, it would be to show a few more seconds (15 or so) of the finished product, so we could really appreciate your beautiful work. TU
Woodworking has been a product of inspiration and design theft for literally thousands of years. Taking someone elses work, and incorporating your own design elements is what makes it your own. The people crying that you "stole" from Marc are ludicrous; and likely oversee that many of Marc's designs are also "thefts" if they want to get technical. This is YOUR table, its your design, your elements, your craftsmanship. Ignore the haters; I really enjoyed your process video and thanks for showing your errors too. Great video, and the table came out most excellent!
I like the idea of using the shorter center pieces in the uprights to create the mortice. Seems like you could have done the same thing with the feet and "arms" to eliminate the need to chop our the mortice.
A couple of things. 1) The table came out beautiful dude, great job. 2) I can relate to all the mishaps you encountered during the build. Those sort of things happen all the time to me haha. Again, great job, and +1 subscriber!
Nice work! I have that jointer. It does a surprisingly good job. Still, I think I'm going to replace it with a more substantial 8" jointer in the near future. I'm always worried when I watch the aluminum fence start to bend slightly when I run a heavy piece through. I'm going to make a trestle table soon and I hope it turns out as nice as yours.
have you looked into building a sled jointer jig for your planer? it's worked wonders for me, sucks being limited to only 6in wide boards. Great build btw
Beautiful Job Paul, great video and you can tell John M to go to He$$. Anyone that builds any project has seen inspiration somewhere. I've seen Marc"s table too and you are right, the only real similarity is the Maple. Most of the people that gripe about stuff like that are people that couldn't put the table together if you gave them the parts and an instructional video. Besides that, at least he is here watching your videos, and he isn't going anywhere. New subscriber here. Thanks.
Man, everything you went through I go through on every project. But we work with what we have and do our best. Great video Paul. I'm getting ready to build a dining table and if you don't mind, I'll use some of your cool camera angles as well.
Great job. You may already know this, but you could have used your table saw for the dados. Might have been easier (some people prefer the router). Good luck!
Beautiful work,next time try not to use an orbital sander on a flat surface like that..it can leave dips or unwanted swirl marks.I hand scraper works best.
How many coats of polyurethane did you use and btw I'm not on your level of craftsmanship but you could of used your router and a plunger to get that screw setting ..I believe..great job btw wish I had your skills and patiences lol
Paul me gusto el tutorial de la mesa y me descargue los PDF para hacerlo. Me gustaría saber si no tiene los PDF de sillas para esa mesa. Gracias un saludo desde Argentina
About an 1in. in hindsight if I did it again I'd probably go for slightly thicker top so the breadboards would be a bit beefier, but it's still holding up fine.
This is my first viewing of one of your videos, Paul. Nice work on both the table and the video, very informative. Just ignore the bullsh*t and keep making nice stuff. Subbed.
How has the porter cable jointer been holding up? I had 2 cutter head shaft wearing out. Yes I had play in cutter head thought is was a bearing, porter cable replaced it, the second one had same issue after 200 board ft or so. They have replaced the bearing to a needle type, just wondering if I am the only one with this issue. I have since gone to a cutech, same planer just has a helical cutter head. No issue after a 1000 board ft.
+Lewis Brazil I actually upgraded to a grizzly jointer after I made this table. I Wanted something more sturdy and accurate for longer boards. But the porter cable worked fine for me while I had it.
Yes as that was the thickest lumber I could get at the time. Ive thought about making a new top for it that is thicker and a bit longer and wider. But it has worked just fine as it is
@@cedarriverwoodworking it's held up just fine. Only thing that isn't perfect is the breadboards on the ends are a little wonky now from wood movement over the years, but otherwise it's still in great shape
Hey Paul, Just curious - How long did it take you to build this? Also, were you concerned about wood movement or anything happening to the top during the time it took to build the legs?
I'm trying to remember, it's been several years but I think it took about 3 weeks to build, with the majority of the time being spent on the weekends. There wasn't any concern over the top moving, especially over a short time period. Wood movement happens over seasons as the temperature and humidity changes. It's held up great too. We still use it all the time.
@@paulprice Fantastic - thanks for the insight. I have had a bunch of walnut sitting in the garage for a while and plan to make one loosely based on this one as well. Considering C-channel instead of breadboard ends. I'll send pics whenever I finish :)
@@ianhawkins441 awesome! Yeah if there was one thing I would do differently if I were to build this table again it would be to either not do bread boards all together or make the top thicker. As it is the bread boards are pretty thin so there is a little bit flex in them if you were to lean on them. But they've held up fine and haven't broken or cracked yet. But you're on the right track I think..best of luck!
Hi Paul. Love the video and the table. I am totally new to woodworking, so I have tons of questions. I've watched a bunch of videos this week. My question for you or anyone is regarding the end-cap on the table. can dowels be used there? I watched a video on youtube using pocket screws everywhere, but the comments seemed to suggest this was a terrible idea, so I'm trying to learn about other joinery. Thanks in advance for any help.
+Thomas Martin yes dowels will work, in fact that's what I used on this build. Unfortunately I'd forgotten to hit record when I did it so it's not in this video. Just TH-cam how to make a bread board and there should be some excellent tutorials explaining how to properly attach a bread board to a table top. Good luck!
Nice table. I am interested in making one very similar out of white oak. Do you have a set of plans or just eyeball it? What are the rough dimensions of the table?
Hey man I see that you are using a bench top jointer with in feed and out feed tables you added on later. How does that work with adjusting the height of the out feed table when you manipulate your cutting depth? Just curious on how you put that together.
+Zac Abernathy I had built it to be adjustable, but the easy answer is that I basically set it up once and then just use the same cutting depth on everything.
Hey Paul, I saw other videos that said that we shouldn't use biscuits on these types of joins. Have you or anyone else on the channel heard that as well? The other folks said to just glue the boards up, no biscuits.
Not to speak for Paul, but I usually use biscuits for a top like this. Nothing wrong with them. As Paul pointed out, you don't need all that many. With thick material, I might put them as much as 16 inches apart.
Torpedo is correct. I have no idea why you would not use them. Stability is a good thing last time I checked! And, you can use dowels as an alternative. What I like to do is stagger them from table top to bottom, depending on length and thickness.
Paul Price how can you wing something like this and post it on TH-cam? You didn't think people would ask for some plans? I think you are bullshitting! And just winged it from wood whispers plans.. soo sad??
Hi Paul. Just stopping in to say there's no ill will on my part. We have a pretty tight community and folks mean well when they stop by and try to urge someone to call out their influences.

The Wood Whisperer very nicely said. As it is written in Ecclesiastes, for there is no new thing under the sun
bloody hell there is only so many ways you can build a trestle table
I know I am pretty randomly asking but does anybody know a good site to stream newly released movies online ?
I like the subtle introduction of new tools through this process. A new wood project is another excuse to buy new tools...just dont tell my wife!
REAL WOODWORKING with failing tools, a mistake here and there, even blown circuits and lots of sawdust. Thank you for this realistic video. Very informative instructions. Fantastic table.
What a beautiful table. I am impressed. You even found a creative new camera-angle on chiseling mortises
wow placing the metal straight edge to check the straight edge of your walnut boards was a learning experience for me. I've been woodworking for years and it never occurred to me. I learn something all the time watching these videos.
Obviously the table is amazing and a great design but the wood is stunning - nice choice.
Thanks!

@The Wood Whisperer, you Sir are a true gentleman.

Beautifull table! Nice work Mr. Price!
Table turned out great... Can tell you have watched a lot of Frank Howarth in your narration.
Some lovely camera work Paul.
Really nice and simple table , explain very clear , I enjoy to watch the video .
What a great piece to have in your home! Seems like the sort of thing that will last for generations. Thanks for the vid mate - got a sub from Aus.
I like the idea of using the shorter center pieces in the uprights to create the mortice. Seems like you could have done the same thing with the feet and "arms" to eliminate the need to chop our the mortice.

Gorgeous table. Great job.
Beautiful work
Parabéns muito bem feito show, uma pergunta que marca é esta biscoiteira sua?
Nice work! I have that jointer. It does a surprisingly good job. Still, I think I'm going to replace it with a more substantial 8" jointer in the near future. I'm always worried when I watch the aluminum fence start to bend slightly when I run a heavy piece through. I'm going to make a trestle table soon and I hope it turns out as nice as yours.
Great job!! I hope to build something similar when I get my shop set up.
have you looked into building a sled jointer jig for your planer? it's worked wonders for me, sucks being limited to only 6in wide boards. Great build btw
Good stuff! Not too keen on the final unveiling. Would have loved to see more.
Very informative, ty. Also not all of us can afford a shop full of all the latest tools. I know the struggle.
Nice job mate
You should build a jointer sled for your planer then you could joint up to 13” , I’ve seen a couple cool designs for them but I’m to lazy to build one
Excellent work - nice design
That's Beautiful man.....Beautiful :)
Beautiful table, and excellent video!
Beautiful Job Paul, great video and you can tell John M to go to He$$. Anyone that builds any project has seen inspiration somewhere.

Do you have any dimensions that you can share on the legs.
Beautiful job sir! Bravo!
poca luz no se aprecia bien, será que lo hiciste tarde el trabajo mm plop??
Woodworkers rock!
Real beaut! you must have like 1500 in walnut and maple throughout this video.
Use a shorter extension cord. It will have less resistance and use less watts, causing your breaker to trip less often. True story bro.
Man, everything you went through I go through on every project. But we work with what we have and do our best. Great video Paul. I'm getting ready to build a dining table and if you don't mind, I'll use some of your cool camera angles as well.
Great work! What was roughly the cost for materials for this table?
Going off my memory (it's been a few years) it was somewhere in the ballpark of $200-$300
saved yourself a ton of dough. looks nice
Great job. You may already know this, but you could have used your table saw for the dados. Might have been easier (some people prefer the router). Good luck!
Beautiful work,next time try not to use an orbital sander on a flat surface like that..it can leave dips or unwanted swirl marks.I hand scraper works best.
How many coats of polyurethane did you use and btw I'm not on your level of craftsmanship but you could of used your router and a plunger to get that screw setting ..I believe..great job btw wish I had your skills and patiences lol

Beautiful - hvad thickness did you use for the table top?
About an 1in. in hindsight if I did it again I'd probably go for slightly thicker top so the breadboards would be a bit beefier, but it's still holding up fine.
Beautiful work, no concern or issues with wood movement by just bolting the top on?
Great job bro, where did you get the walnut planks and how much was total build? Im in houston Tx and that walnut would cost an arm and leg.
Looks great! What poly did you use for that finish?
Not easy to work in enclosed spaces. Nicely done.
This is my first viewing of one of your videos, Paul. Nice work on both the table and the video, very informative. Just ignore the bullsh*t and keep making nice stuff. Subbed.

I watched a video on youtube using pocket screws everywhere, but the comments seemed to suggest this was a terrible idea, so I'm trying to learn about other joinery. Thanks in advance for any help.
+Thomas Martin yes dowels will work, in fact that's what I used on this build. Unfortunately I'd forgotten to hit record when I did it so it's not in this video. Just TH-cam how to make a bread board and there should be some excellent tutorials explaining how to properly attach a bread board to a table top. Good luck!
I really love this video.
Awesome stuff!! Just beautiful! Btw, what’s the name of the intro song?
Nice table. I am interested in making one very similar out of white oak. Do you have a set of plans or just eyeball it? What are the rough dimensions of the table?
Beautiful.
beautiful job, and what camera and lens did you use? It looks perfect.
Thanks! I think I used a Nikon D600 and a 50mm 1.4g lens
From chile.... beautiful job
Hey man I see that you are using a bench top jointer with in feed and out feed tables you added on later. How does that work with adjusting the height of the out feed table when you manipulate your cutting depth? Just curious on how you put that together.
+Zac Abernathy I had built it to be adjustable, but the easy answer is that I basically set it up once and then just use the same cutting depth on everything.
Hey Paul, I saw other videos that said that we shouldn't use biscuits on these types of joins. Have you or anyone else on the channel heard that as well? The other folks said to just glue the boards up, no biscuits.
Not to speak for Paul, but I usually use biscuits for a top like this. Nothing wrong with them. As Paul pointed out, you don't need all that many. With thick material, I might put them as much as 16 inches apart.
Torpedo is correct. I have no idea why you would not use them. Stability is a good thing last time I checked! And, you can use dowels as an alternative. What I like to do is stagger them from table top to bottom, depending on length and thickness.
cool work
Great work! Will you be doing more videos like this soon?
+Best Access Doors yes I have a custom computer desk I'm in the middle of building.
Nice table mate really like the maple in it. Do you have the dimensions for this build ?
+Diego Gamboa its roughly 6ft long by 35in wide. If you mean plans, I didn't use any. i just winged it as I went.
Paul Price how can you wing something like this and post it on TH-cam? You didn't think people would ask for some plans? I think you are bullshitting! And just winged it from wood whispers plans.. soo sad??
Well done
great job
Very nicely done! Off the main subject, but what camera/mic did you use to make the video?
+David Dominguez Nikon D600 and D7000 and a rode mic.
I need a dewalt ... barely any top snipe
Nice work
Are you ready to make the chairs now? Lol
Good work
