EQUIPMENT:
I shot this video (and most videos) with a Canon 70D using a Sigma F1.4 30mm Art lens. Shot at 1080p, 29.97fps. I use a Manfrotto Tripod as well as a slider and a stabilizer for handheld shots. This particular video had a lot of shots done as time lapses or handheld video from my iPad and iPhone and I used a Kessler Jib for the shots of the finished table.
A quick note on the end caps. I’m not sure I’d honestly recommend them. The problem is that the wood will shrink and expand more in one direction than the other, which means that while the table top may move a bit in one direction, the end cap, by virtue of being perpendicular to the rest of the top, will move in the other direction. On my table this has resulted in a bit of a lip. Nothing huge, but not what I hoped for. I’d recommend leaving the wood out for several weeks first, or possibly omitting the end cap altogether. Another option is to create an end cap (for the lip) by cutting off 1.5" from the table top and then attaching that to the bottom of the ends - to help match up the skirts. I attached the end caps with glue and brads at first, followed up with some pocket hole screws from the bottom side. If you're just doing the skirt method, then I'd recommend screwing them in from the bottom using 2.5" countersunk screws. The end cap dimensions (as shown in the plans) are 3’6″ W x 3″ H x 1.5″ D.
As for the side skirts, it’s just a 2×4 ripped in half and then glued, tacked and screwed onto the table top. I countersunk all of the screws and that one worked out pretty well. The side skirts are 7’9″ W x 1.5″ H x 1.5″ D.
I make a lot of tables using similar techniques. I've devised a system to allow the cross grain to expand and contract freely without the breadboard ends preventing that from happening. It takes a bit more effort but makes for a stable table top. Also, I always put a few coats of poly on the underside to seal the entire table top and limit the wood movement. The diy plans websites don't often factor that stuff in.
I love the rough sawn technique. I'll have to use that!
LRN2DIY 5
Should have done book end wouldn't have had that problem but still would have had the look you wanted
LRN2DIY on a scale of 1-10. How comfortable are the chairs?
Rach Hunting hello, what are book ends?
This was perfect as a vanity desk for me. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxMAlHv7-BBWMrPRm5-uEoD6rtdT7SG2Qr Especially the glossy finish. Easy to cleanI was looking for something that wasn't the traditional white and with more of a modern feel. This fit the bill beautifully. I put it together with no problems, by myself in under an hour.Make sure you double check where you place the drawer tracks before screwing down. I had one track that needed to be aligned with different holes than the rest.
I came across this video when I started researching how to make a dining room table. I have zero carpentry experience so I wanted something easy, this wasn’t as easy as I was looking for but I was up for the challenge. With your instructions and some google research (and a little guidance from the guys at my local Home Depot) I made a version of this table. It’s far from perfect and may not last me forever but it looks amazing and I did it all by myself! Thanks for your tutorial.
That's so cool to hear, Diana! Congrats on taking this on and finishing it. These types of comments really make the effort that goes into making these videos worthwhile, so thank you for sharing. :)
A suggestion, when flattening the top, use a straight/flat 2''X4''X5' with 60 grit paper glued-on, just slide this across the table at different angles to high-lite the lows and highs of the top.. I have used this process myself and am very pleased with the out-come...
David Januszewski What about a 6' level with a strip of belt sander paper anddouble sided tape to make sure it's as straight as possible
This is the first hardware-store-wood diy table that I've found on youtube that doesn't look like a hardware-store-wood diy table.
"If you're too cheap to buy one" - code for: screw those guys I'ma make one meself!
Your bandsaw technique for getting the re-sawn look is genius!
The bandsaw texture trick was worth the price of admission alone! Fantastic! Great trick. Thank you.
Great looking table. I echo the concerns on wook movement. Also, for the cutout on the bottom of the legs you can leave the bottom flat and come back and add small blocks on both sides to create the "cut out". I don't have a bandsaw so that is what I would do.
Excellent idea on the wood block on the bottom. As for the movement of the wood, it's been a little bit of an issue with this table. I think I'd recommend leaving ends flush cut - no caps on them. You just never know how much movement you'll get otherwise.
Great looking table ..... but with all due respect wood movement is definitely going to be an issue for the top. As far as I know kiln dried construction lumber (please tell me you at least used kiln dried lumber) is dried to 19% (it will show either KD, or KD with a number after it to represent the moisture content), all of that said 19% is still way too high, you want to be in the 10%-12%. Bla bla bla, your table top is basically going to explode.
Before i knew any of this I did a how to video on a table made from construction lumber ..... then I learned you really cant do that, so I TOOK IT DOWN.
Call me if your interested, I can explain most of what you need to know in about 30 minutes. (831)245-7798
LRN2DIY actually you can determine the exact amount of movement - there are expansion rates by wood type available online, and you can calculate how much movement will happen based on humidity swings in your area, type of wood, and size of piece.
ProjectPossible does Home Depot sells kiln dried lumber?
Without caps aren't the boards making up the table top more vulnerable to cupping? I thought that along with wood expansion was the point of breadboard ends...
Looks good. But how would you get it anywhere in the house? Bulky and heavy af lol.
This is a great build... very thorough detail on the explanation as well. Great job!
My jaw dropped when I saw the current price of the table @ PB, Cdn $3,219.00. Well done, you have true skill.
Great build! An easier way to make the arch on the bottom of the legs if you don't have a band saw - instead of using a long jigsaw blade just make multiple passes with a circular saw and chisel/knock out the chips
AWESOME!! Dude, Im going to try to do the same table...BTW, you kind of resemble Astros Alex Bregman.
One of the Best DIY Table I ever seen.
Agree
That cut out on yhe bottom is to help it set level and to counter act imperfections in the floor on the the floor
Tricky to pull out scratches/dents easier. Just add water. Dab water onto the scratch and either let air dry or heat gun dry. It'll bring the wood grain up and then sand flush. Or use a damp rag and iron. Same deal.
I think I would do ½ inch dowels on the table top instead of pocket screws the pocket screws are not as strong of joint so could have problems in the future just my humble opinion great job though love the table
You know what man I cherish everyone that cross my path in life you are awesome bro I am going to make this table thank you and have a bless and wonderful life.
Wish you were correct about buying 4x6s from the big box stores. Went to several and they just shook their heads " We have never carried that size" Even a trip to a local saw mill proved useless.." We can cut you one but it will be 19.00 dollars a foot"..No thanks..lol..even the 4x4s I found were treated.! " We don't carry untreated wood" WOW..talk about making this difficult!!
OMG, You are freaking AWSOME ! , "RIP Ryobi" LMAO
liem nguyen YOU'RE awesome, man. Thanks for always checking in on my projects and being supportive!
Well, rewatching this in 2022, I found that you missed a 0 in the material cost, it should be “the cost of wood is just under 3000 dollars”, fixed for ya.
Nice work, better than the PB table, as this will resist moisture more effectively... Looks to be a serious chunk of skin removed from your left thumb...ouch..
I am so happy I came across this video. Looking for a project to try out and this is a perfect start. One question about the finish. After the coats of poly are on and sanded, for the last coat did you just leave it as is? Sand it with a very high grit? I’m curious if there is a sealer that anyone can recommend after the urethane coats have been applied. Thank you so much and can’t wait to get started
This one is one of the best I've seen!!!
Beautiful desk! How is it holding up 6 years later? Any bending?
Qhey bud just seeing this. In the same boat. Want a table like this but don't wanna pay lol. Wood parts list? How many of what please...
Awesome job and very quality value build table. Looks very study and great finish.
Did you buy 4x6 white wood? I couldn’t find any in Lowe’s or Home Depot.
I did. I'm finding that it's not available everywhere but was in my local store. I'd recommend calling to see if they can have some sent to your store. Good luck!
Nowadays it’s $2500 for the lumber…
Just need to get rid of the bottom brace. Not even needed.
I use GRK washered lags with #40 star drive. Thanks.
Hold on. You built a table out of construction grade lumber from Lowes and then you're surprised it warped? And you put it together with pocket hole screws? It's no wonder it warped. Wood from a lumber store isnt kiln dried so of course it's going to warp! And the pocket holes screws arent meant for joining wood like that. Why would you do that? It looks like you have some decent woodworking tools, so I'm really confused about why the top wasn't jointed and planed correctly? What a mess.
So awesome! Glad you did this, shared this, and i certainly want to do this as well
Fantastic Video!!!! I love the table, the instructions and (I'm geeking out here) but the animation of the lag bolts going into the wood. Very nice touch. I wasn't planning on it but the look of the bandsaw marks really gave it that high-end distressed feel. Gonna go make a sammich with some grey poupon now. Thanks again!
Looks great, but the problem with the big box lumber, is it's still always pretty wet. I made a table with that stuff a few years ago, and it warped like crazy over time. After about 4 years, I took it apart, jointed and planed everything and then put it back together...good to go!
Did u pay Attention to the direction of the grain growth of your 2x12’s? They should be assembled with the grain alternating directions so it doesn’t cup.
I'm going to have to buy a shiz ton of shop tools....but it might be worth it.
"I used douglas fir, its a softer wood" douglas fir is actually one of the hardest softwoods. pine and cedar are much softer
Right - it's soft compared to the hardwoods but one of the more tight grained and harder softwoods.
I really like your video. I want to make a table that is shorter than a standard 42". To buy anything custom is in the mid $2,500. I, like you, say, this is too much. I can make it for far less and have a "one of a kind" table that will last many years. I'm going to make this, but a bit different base. I may try to do something different on the ends.
Has anyone scaled this down? I'm looking to build a similar situation able just I'd like to keep the table top 5-6 foot long by 3" +- but I'm afraid if I scale the top down and use the same size lumbar it will look all Miss portioned any help would be greatly appreciate it
For those who don't have a bandsaw but a table saw..buy a dado set to make the cut out for the base bottoms...make sure you use your table saw sled ...worked perfect for me..if you don'twant to buy a dado set you can still use your table saw sled to make those cuts ,running your board across the blade..does take time but still works...if you don't have a table saw,use a miter saw saw with stop block..making several cuts then clean it out
Thanks brother! My wife and I made this table and did a video of it. We did a couple things different and it turned out great. Appreciate the help!
I'd tried to follow the link to your website but it's not working... any chance you can message me the plans and cut list?
Really awesome video! Fantastic post production and you had me rolling with the Ryobi moment of silence! LOL
I know you posted this several months ago but I have a question. The "Top", when you screwed the top down with those lag bolts how are you going to keep it from splitting with wood movement through the year? I did subscribe.
God Bless my friend.
Well, I was trying to post on your website but it thinks my comment was spam and to "contact us" but now I can't even get to the website on any browser. So how does a person contact you if you can't get to the site? Sheesh...
Nice job. I may build this in the near future.
White pine is what most box stores carry its soft, Doug fur is a structural pine hard and strong. Not sure what the reclaimed pine was . Just fyi . Nice looking table
Table Height
Table design looks great. The Table height in the plan is 2'6" (30") but after cutting it comes up to be 29.5" because the base and top 4X6 is actually 3.5" thick. Is that my mistake and It came out wrong from me? Standard tables are min 30" high.Table Height
I wouldn't work at all the get the top perfectly flat. I prefer a little undulation and natural movement on the top as well as the rest of the piece. About 15 years ago, I saw a dark wooden table at a Ralph Lauren store and the top had the most incredible feel to it. It was silky smooth but still felt like wood, not a fake or foreign finish. It undulated ever so slightly all the way across. It was incredible. It was also $18,000 if I recall correctly. : (
To hell with "too cheap," the reality is that store bought tables today are designed with weak points to fall apart after a certain amount of time/use(usually a decade or less). But A well made table can last centuries, I want my furniture to outlast my great grand children....
I loved the use of the bandsaw to rough up the lumber.
For tying together the table top boards I would recommend dowels or biscuits with glue instead of pocket hole screwing.
Makita is awesome. You spend a lot of cash, but for tools I plan on using for over a decade, that is the way I go.
I understand wanting individual chairs, but those things destroy the appearance of the room....IMHO
Newbie here. I don't follow you very well regarding the end caps and exactly what to do instead. I can't picture in my mind what you mean by "lip" either. When you say to "leave the wood out". Can it be left inside the house to acclimate to that temp and humidity? Or best left out doors in my shed where there is no temp control? Sorry for all the questions.
Hey Mike, great question. The end caps or bread boards are tricky. My brother actually built this same table from my plans and he did something pretty similar to this: th-cam.com/video/fW4AVb2XDMk/w-d-xo.html. Most people don't have a Festool Domino tool (they're $1500) so dowels will typically do the trick. If you have the time (I'd recommend 6+ weeks) to let the wood adapt and dry a bit, I'd recommend keeping it indoors, near the area where the table will be if possible. My end caps haven't moved much at all after the original settling so if you have the time to assemble everything and let it settle for a while and then shave it smooth (assuming there's some expansion or contraction) then finish it, that will work too. I'd love to hear how it goes!
Hello,
Do you think this design could support a table for 20? say double the size of this table...
If you just expand the dimensions it should work great. If you're looking for a longer version, you may want to add one more leg in the middle for strength.
THIS LOOKS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. SUPERB JOB
Beautiful table. But I have yet to find a source for that kind of free wood, beside ordinary pallet wood.
Don't use an orbital sander for fine sanding. By design you end up going against the grain.
All said in done, Potery Barn table $2500. Your table $5000. $300 for mats, plus tools, and most importantly YOUR TIME!!!!!!!! Great job btw.
This is an absolutely lovely table....however...I really wish you had omitted the "end caps" or breadboard ends that you applied using pocket hole screws. Why? Because it's pretty likely that the breadboards will prevent the natural movement of the wood and cause cracking and splitting in the table top -- which would ruin your whole table. You DO NOT need end caps to beautify your table top. You can make end grain look beautiful with sanding in much less time than it takes to make end caps.
The plans are not free, they are $20.
very beautiful work. thanks
RIP Ryobi....after 15 years!!. Not bad for a tool that only has a 2 year guarantee (well in South Africa anyways). Nice job BTW
Hello Nils, I am interested in building this table. I went to your website and saw the link to the plans for teh table but the link is not working. Can you please repost the plans?
How did you attach the base to the top?
Get a rough belt sander and go to town boom!
Make me a table like this and I'll pay you $600
Dude, you’re the best for posting the build measurements! That’s awesome! Very helpful! Thank you!
I think I should build this table for my dining room!
Hows the table holding up? My brothers warped pretty heavily and are planning out a new one but will use c-channels underneath.
Our is doing great but we did have some warping on the ends, which is why I recommend using a breadboard style end cap. The problems arise when you try to have boards going in two different directions, which causes problems when the grain swells in opposite directions.
I have nowhere to eat in my kitchen... it's a notable problem 😟
Nice result. How did you fasten the top to the base? Thanks for sharing
Thanks. I used some lag screws in several spots. There are details on the website and a link in the description.
Thank you. I built this table after watching you. My wife loves it.
Nicely done - Gonna give this a go... will let you know how it goes. Comment noted about the lip/expansion issue. Many thanks.
The link is not working, could you send the how to instructions to me ? My husband is wants to make this for me. Also, I subscribed!
I want to do a table similar to this but outdoors. Is it advisable to do a glued table top with pressure treated wood?
Beautiful table. A shame the chairs are not equally as wonderful. Build the benches please. Or make some chairs.
Bardzo PIĘKNA Robota!
Where can I get the plans?
Is there an alternative to attaching the 4x4 foot runner to the base? I currently do not have an option for a band saw to create the gaps in the 4x6 pieces in which the 4x4 piece sits.
Very cool way to get the texture! Thanks for the tip!
In 2021 the wood alone is probably more than the pottery barn table 😅!
I know, right? I keep seeing all these videos to build a table for $125 or something and I'm just shaking my head...
Thats a nice piece of shit
I wanted to see how you attached the table top to the foundation
Agreed. Can you please share?
Pocket holes
you are scratching it with any grit sandpaper. the point of the high grit is it creates much smaller scratches that the new poly can adhere to cuz it self levels when it dries.
GREAT Expalantion!! Thanks!!
Looks incredible! Awesome work! Thanks for posting
Beautiful looking table! Just started making this table with my dad. How exactly did you join the table top and the base? Recessed Bolts through the top and then cover the holes with plastic wood?
Thanks for the awesome video!!
Bolts through the bottom, actually. I list the steps on my site: lrn2diy.com/diy-kitchen-table/
I had the exact same question
3:15. Router sled.
Beautifully done. I do have to confess that I found myself trying to eyeball your bookshelf.
looking to build this same set and i look at your website but did no see a how tall is the table how wide do i need to set up the foot apart from the top table. let me know so i can just get the wood i need and how i need to cut them be appreciated
Looks like I missed that in the plans. The table height is 2' 6". The table legs should be 1' 6 1/2" in from the skirt of the table on the ends, and 1 1/2" in on the sides. Does that answer your question?
Could you explain how you fabricate the center strut connecting the two leg fram supports?
Beautiful looking table! Thanks for sharing!
Great device
The table will rock if it is set on an uneven floor. If you can't cut the piece off the bottom of the legs you need to put feet on it.
Thank you for the band saw tip to create that effect, I've been looking it up for years.
I saw a table from "Indonesia" at a Ross once and have been wondering how they did it ever since.
Not saying this is how they did it, but it's the closest thing to it that I've come across. 👍
Look much more glossy other then mat
Did you end up using any spf (spruce/pine/fir) boards for any of this? I checked my local home depot and they have Douglas fir but for the 2 x 4's and 4 x 6's are spf instead of just fir
The stuff at my local store was all labeled as Douglas Fir but I know that the selection varies quite a bit depending on where you live and which store you check. My brother made this same table where he lives in Mexico City and had to use locally sourced oaks since Home Depot there has nothing more than 2x4s.
very nice
I LOVE this table!!! Love the look of the base
I don't have a band saw, definitely will have to look into those. Subscribing!
Not sure is where to find those 4x6s and nice squared 4x4s. The ones i get at Home Depot (my local home improvement store) are really warped/twisted. Will have to make some calls to lumber yards outside my area to find some good ones. where did you get yours? they look great!
Hay brother love your video ima make this table next month... I do have a question though. How would you go about making a bench for this table of the same design?
