Dining Table Made From Pallets!

- In this video I build a dining table from reclaimed pallet lumber. Butcher block style with many layers of glaze-coat epoxy finish. I spent hundreds of hours on the weekends, off and on between projects for over 3 years on this table! Unfortunately I had an Sd-card die and I lost all the repetitive footage of me destroying piles and piles of pallets, but you can watch my other videos if you really need to see the process. Sorry for the grainy footage in the beginning, its from an earlier camera I no longer use.
This video contains the last footage of my grandfathers workshop. I had been spending every weekend i could with him, his health had been declining so it was very important to me to spend as much time with him as i could, and this project was started in the little bits of time i could squeeze in between ball games and PBR's. He was a great guy, a closest friend and a mentor with a thousand lessons and a million stories,. He will never be forgotten. Na Zdravi! to my friend Lew
A big thanks to FUJII for allowing me to use his music for the background tracks.

USE A PUSH STICK! YOU LONG HAIRED FREAK!
Lol not bad after all that hell.😊
hahaha..actually yea, please use a push stick. I loved the section about you and your grandpa. That is great and actually even got me a little teary eyed. I had to learn everything on my own with no mentor at all. I am teaching my kids the trades and the art of actually caring about your work so I can pass it on. Keep it up bro. Subbed...
Read the comment and thought "true but a little rude." Then noticed who wrote the comment and went "ok now I'm confude."
@@Lily-2019 Haha, yeah, i kinda pinned that comment because its such a popular heckle. I admittedly used a lack of push sticks back when i started this project. Stupid habit that ive since broken. Thanks for watching!
Yeah, this is why I scrolled down
Your grandpa must be so proud of you. ❤ Could you imagine hand planing all of that wood like they did back in the old days?? I hand planed every log on my house. It only took me 2 years.
They had such a great work ethic back then! I love the age we are living in where power tools can get weeks worth of old school work done in a few hours. Thanks for watching and commenting Brenda! Hope you check out some of my newest builds!
@@treecycled Yes, I was binge watching. I'm not a wood worker. I just enjoy the videos. Thank you for sharing.
I was touched by your tribute to your grandfather. I grew up raised by a single mom. Fortunately I had a grandfather who was a master builder as well as uncles who were plumbers, electricians, mechanics and machinists. They were patient enough to impart a great deal of wisdom to me and I will be forever grateful. I am trying my best to teach the next generation as I am sure you will. Wonderful project. I enjoyed watching.
Beautiful job; way to stick with it. I like the note about your Grandfather.
Curious..... why did you start out using the peumatiac nailer and then switch over to screws to attach the boards together? Was it for strength? DD
I am a woman and I watched the entire video - spellbound. It was a expression of our ability to create which is quite satisfying. I liked very much your nod to the love and respect for your grandfather and the beautiful fact you did not try to show a false perfection. A lovely effort.
Grandparents know SO DAMN MUCH!
We should all listen to everything they say. Life lessons.
Wife had a great grandmother born 1898, died 2002. Knew her for 13 years. The stories she told!!!
Should a recorded them....
More grand parents are narrow minded old bigots and are closed minded to others opinions or ways.
@@texanonline1244 Most people are set in their ways after what they learned in their childhood. There's an old adage: "how me a 5 year old and I'll tell you what kind of a person they will be" Case in point, it's easier to find imperfections in others than in ourselves.
GREAT JOB you shouldered on through the errors and hard bits. Thank you
Thank you much Brenda! It was a long build! But i hope it was inspiring and i hope to see your comments on future videos!
Just stunningly beautiful. Loved the story of your grand father and your time spent with him.
Thank you much imari! He will be sorely missed. Thanks for watching and welcome to my channel! Peace!
What a Beautiful table and a true labor of love. Your Grandpa taught you well !!!
Thank you Diane! I truly hope he would approve. Thank you much for the kind words and i hope your life is treating you well!
To the Haters:
All wood working is a labor of love and a thing of beauty.
This video is a testament of the richness of his life and those who mentored him.
I fully support his journey and craft. 👍👍
Thank you much OneDrop! I appreciate the your words of kindness. Welcome to the channel and be on the lookout for more content soon! Peace!
Well done. Well said.
Totally agree ...
Why haters? When someone does not agree with the general feeling, is he a hater? Don't use that word with such contempt at people who don't share your judgement, BECAUSE YOURS TOO IS A JUDGEMENT! Honestly, for having built a comparable table with palettes in France (much more beautiful palettes than these), it's too much work and repeating work for a modest output. It's about how, the method, you start to build it. Classify me as a hater, that won't change my objective note.
@@joetke it's "haters" bc you're so negative. and only people filled with anger and hate are so negative. There are ways to voice your maybe not so objective opinion, get your point across, and not be so negative. I say maybe not so objective only bc you said things like," much more beautiful palettes than these." That is subjective and up for interpretation. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
when you want to criticize someone's work, " too much work for a modest output." Follow up with something helpful.. When I have made a comparable table, I start by trying to find better palettes. then when assembling I .....then you can finish it with," yours is nice, a little too labor intensive, especially for the end result. I hope my tips can help you in the future."
I'm no woodworking pro not even a beginner, but I do know that there is ALWAYS more to be learned and more ways to do things. To be negative about anyone's hard work is being not only hateful but hurtful and I think there's just about enough of that in the world don't you? Good Luck and peace be with you! 💕
your grandpa must be so proud of his grandson doing the same thing he love to do...
Miss the guy every day! Thanks for watching and commenting Rudy!
GENIUS! A KETCHUP BOTTLE FOR WOOD GLUE. YOU SOLVED MY LIFE
WOW!
GREAT JOB!
Your grandpa must be very proud of you!
GOD bless❣🙏
Thank you much Paulina! I truly hope he was proud, I miss his wisdom and stories every day. I hope the new year is treating you well!
Making a piece like this is a testament to a person's skill, craft and patience. A beautiful piece of original furniture. 10/10.
Exactly what I was gonna say! Gorgeous piece, priceless skills (thanks to your precious grandfather and an AWESOME set of tools! Thanks for sharing your project! Whoever ended up with this table is blessed to have such a timeless treasure!
More work on that table than I've done on m personality in my 52 years. This should be a movie! I did not skip forward once!
🤣😂🤣GooDOne Doubt true but FuN~KNee👉 Knee~SLaPper😂😒had to mention last past thooo...so tired was up too late I had to fastfoward for 🎼 to help KeeP DeM PeePeRs OPeN👀Otherwise Diffinately enjoyed very talented work dontchya think?
Omg. I also had a grandpa Lew. Same exact guy. Could do anything. We are lucky men.
If more people would watch videos like yours, they's carp less about the prices of well-made furniture! Sure hope your "other half" appreciated it! Stupendous!
More proof that there's beauty to be unlocked from the mundane if one's willing to WORK at it! It really is a beautiful table!
Thank you so much Shaunn! It was for my brother, his family uses it every night!
I firmly believe one cannot ever go wrong with Old School! Oustanding! Many thanks.
Thinking about the insane amount of pallets I walked away from over the years. Then the ludicrous amount of time and effort you put into making this table made me feel completely at peace with my former decisions.
Its always soo much work! But i always hope the end result is worth the Grind! Thanks for watching Pied Piper! Hope the new year is treating you well!
@@treecycled I wish the same for you! Carry on pallet soldier, turning those lowly fibers into works of art.
The table looks great. All your care and hard work has paid off big time. The high gloss finish looks amazing in the sun light. I'm sure every meal you have at that table will be doubly enjoyable knowing that you made it with your own hands. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Best wishes.
What a beautiful table! I especially like the fact it is from reclaimed / recycled wood. I'd be proud to have it in my home.
Thank you so much for the kind words! And thank you for watching!
My 2nd video of you doing epic build...yup, my hat of to you sir. Nice to see grandpa and know your love and respect for the man. Awesome stuff.
We all need a Lew in our lives.
I couldn't agree more! I miss him every day!. Thanks for watching Anthony!
BS"D MUST be a labor of love.
Labor intensive from start to finish.
A true pleasure to behold.
Thank you.
Thanks adina! it definitely was! Have a great day!
Dude, this is sick!! The amount of skill and patience this takes is astounding!
What a nice tribute to your Grandpa Lew. He is most certainly proud.
I do basic woodworking and you are truly an inspiration.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Its so flattering to think my work inspires others and id love to see what you create! Find me on facebook/instagram if you want to share! Thanks again for watching JML! Hope the new year is treating you well!
@@treecycled I sent you some pics of one of my favorite pieces I’ve made. :)
Im still a Rookie but I’m having fun!
The time You took to do this Amazing Table is Incredible......... but
the Time You Took to spend with Your Grandfather Lew is Priceless!!!
Not a moment of wasted time on either, as they are both part of Forever Lasting Memories......

Peace Out.....& Beyond
Thank you for the kind words wolfs! And thank you for watching!
Loved to see you included Grandpa Lew. I hope to be that kind of influence with my new grandson Brian.
I wish you both the best. Happy to be a new subscriber. Looking forward to seeing Lew's continued inclusion in your videos. I think all of us who enjoy woodworking have had a mentor like this. For me it was my dad who will always be my hero.
Thanks for watching Tom! Grandpa lew passed away in early 2018. He was a huge influence in my life and i miss him everyday. Hope life is treating you well!
God bless Grandpa Lew, I miss my grandpa so much, I never in my entire life even as an adult left his house without him giving me something....
I know the feeling, I miss the guy everyday! Thanks for watching Ryan, I hope you have great memories of your grandpa to hold on to and share with your family.
@@treecycled thanks buddy, he just passed a couple yrs ago, great times with him and I'm glad my son got to spend time with him
Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching Casey! Have a great day!
Wow. Quite possibly your Great Great Grandchildren will gathering and eating at this table. What an inspiring lesson in craftmanship, ingenuity and committed dedication! Darned near brings tears to your eyes...
Thanks a ton Donna! I hope so! thanks for watching and have a great day!
I absolutely LOVE this table. I think it would be great as an island as well! That was so precious about your Grandpa!!!
Thank you so much sandy! Glad you liked it! Have a great day!
Don't listen to people who only want to put down your efforts and success. The table came out beautiful and deserves praise. Having made it from pallets makes it that much more special. Good job and God Bless you.
Happy to see the push stick come out after the first hundred or so rips.
I appreciate the criticism! Safety hasn't always been my best priority in the past but ive been working hard at it. Thank you for watching Jason!
Huge kudos to you. Your love and respect for Lew took what was a very good video and turned it into something far more than a record of building a table. You're a good man.
Thanks peter! I miss lew everyday, he taught me a lot and I strive to keep him in my thoughts when im working. Hope the new year is treating you well and thanks for watching!
Love this video mate 👍 I discovered woodturning after buying a random lathe after my dad passed away. I'd been so busy dealing with funeral, family etc. that I didn't really grieve the loss. Anyway.... set the lathe up and spent 2 weeks making cr*p with my eyes leaking 🤣
All the memories of making stuff with him came back, the workshop smells, his voice... it was seriously good for me.
Now I've developed a MakerSpace in Wales to help others realise how healthy making, or trying to, is for our heads. 👍
Subscribed because there's not a spot of arrogance or pretentious attitude in your vids. All the best from Wales buddy. Diolch yn fawr! 👍
Thank you so much Robert! Your comment means a lot as family is everything! I appreciate the sub and i hope my future videos can provide the same level of entertainment! Would love to see your makerspace and your projects! Find me on facebook or instagram if youd like to share!
I'm only 17 minutes into the video. I like watching it like I like watching a campfire or listening to a river gurgle... it's peaceful. I would not have watched it so long except for what you said about your family mentor. You have an appreciation for things and it shows. While I may have done things a bit different on some aspects, you have an art form not to be messed with. Thank you for taking the time to do what you do and love your family. This is the first video I have seen of yours. I am drawn to subscribe and watch more. From my heart, thank you.
Thank you much for the subscribe! i hope my future videos can bring you as much entertainment william!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Excellent work. ¡Hola! Welcome back my friend. I love your video, you give me many ideas to create things and there is nothing better nowadays than recycling, I admire you and believe me I will watch your video about ten times. That you continue to give good projects and from now on I will be aware of your next video. Greetings. 😁😁😁👍😃✌
Thank you so much for the kind words Badi!, I would love to see what you come up with!
As many others have stated... great video...but to throw the nod to your Grandfather WAS AWESOME...
Lot of work and it looks great. Kudos to you for acknowledging your mentor, Master Grandpa Lew. Suggestion: when you're working on pallet wood invest in a cheap metal detector. The small expense and extra time will pay off in undamaged blades.
I chipped a very expensive planing blade by using reclaimed wood that had finishing nails in it because I didn't check with a detector. I was "Penny wise, but pound foolish." Good advice. If you have a very strong neodymium magnet, that will work as well if you don't have a metal detector, and best yet, it doesn't need batteries!
Thank you for the tip! Im actually using a Garret ACE 250 metal detector now! Missing the grandmaster Lew every day! Never forgotten!
Beautiful work. Table turned out gorgeous
Thank you Luci!! I appreciate the kind words!
What a beautiful outcome!!! A very long and tedious job, but a job well done for sure!!! My heart goes out to you and your Grandad!!! I lost all but one of my grandparents before I hit 20! My only living grandmother lives two states over so I very rarely see her!!! Family is precious!! Hold on to as many as you can for as long as you can!!! I subbed and I look forward to more video!!
Thank you so much! Missing my G-pa Everyday! Hope your channel gets great succes!
This is a great example of "use what you got" no fancy outfeed tables or miter saw set ups. The man made a great table with what looks like some old tools. Awesome work man!
Never seen you channel before, but will be keeping a look out for it from now on. Beautiful table. Well done.🤪🤓🤪🤓
Thank you much Alison! Welcome to the channel and thank you for watching! More content coming soon!
I admire your patience! What a lot of work, but a beautiful result!
Never watched your channel before come across it by chance.The table you made was beautiful such workmanship😍
Thank you SEW much! See what i did there? ;) Hope you subscribed to the channel! Just dropped a new video last night!
Charming video. Such a lovely story behind it too. My regards to you and your family.
Thanks Jelly! have a great day!
I salute your patience 🤔 you have done well 👍
Cheers! Thanks for watching Mostafa!
Wow you really put your heart into that table. It is really beautiful.
Thanks James! I appreciate it!
Nice looking piece of work. Very well thought out .I'm sorry for the loss of your Grandfather. I'm sure he would be very proud of you.
Thanks Jim! missing him everyday! Thank you for watching and for the the kind words!
You sure earn every plank of wood. Nothing is free. Very nice work.
Your perfectionism is killing me
Thanks for watching Ian! these projects are labors of love and they seem to take forever until they are actually done! Hope all is well!
Sorry to hear about your grandfather. Blessed was the time he spent with you.
good project TIP before i run any pallet wood through a planer I go over it with a strong magnet to detect any metal. Saves a fortune on blades and equipment.
You are absolutely Correct 52memor! I started using a metal detector actually! Check out my latest video! it has saved me from a thousand knicks and chips! Thanks for watching and thank you for the helpful tip!
aren't old mentors great..i'm a 60 yr old engine builder..(hit miss engines).my neighbor/mentor has done so much to help me and really inspires me to do a good job...after watching this think i might do little wood working.looks so relaxing and gratifying.....GREAT VIDEO!!!
You should be so proud because it's absolutely beautiful
I truly appreciate your kindness,. thank you much skeeter! Have a great day and thank you for watching!
I really love that scene from 21:45 to 22:00 !
That's one big, heavy, and beautiful table!
I know you have fond memories of your grandfather.
Thank you for the video.
Thanks buck! I appreciate the comments!
I think some people have been blessed by God with the talent to create, gifting us with wonderful works.
Thank you Semper!
Wow a tremendous amount of work but it came beautifully.
Thanks Sylvia! It was a ton of work! Thanks for watching!
Sounds like Grandpa Lew was an amazing man. So glad you got to have his influence in your life. 💗
That aside, what a beautiful table! One of a kind.
Thank you for watching Isabella! He was a great guy, missing him every day!
I watched the whole video and enjoyed every moment. So cool to see the time-consuming process behind this amazing table.
Thank you so much Maiesha! Hope you were inspired and i truly appreciate the kind words!
Just found your site and I’m blown away by the time, effort, skill and heart you put into this project. I just wish you had my rugged good looks and I had your skills😁. You have a new subscriber in me, I don’t even know you but, I very proud of what you accomplished. Alabama’s impressed.
Don't click on the link, my antivirus flagged it as dangerous!
Thanks Pickett! I really appreciate the kind words, they mean more than you know! Thanks for watching and I hope life is treating you kindly in the new year!
I also had a master woodworker Grandpa. Sadly, he died when I was 5. At least I have some of his black walnut furniture from his own trees! If anyone inherits grandparent-made things, or has a Grandpa like yours, cherish every thing and every moment!
Absolutely! Id love to see the furniture! I miss my grandpa every day, he was a wealth of stories and irreplaceable wisdom! Thanks for watching Shaunn!
Just watched a work of Art being created :)
I truly appreciate your viewership Brenda! Welcome to the channel and Thanks for watching! Have a happy New Year!
Being a Carpenter I know how much work went into that and I mean a lot of work good job
It was a ton of work! Thanks for watching Desert Walker! Hope to see your comments on future videos!
There are no words to describe this wonderful work.... thank you for sharing❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for watching Hedda! I appreciate the kind words and hope your life is treating you well!
Love, love, love your table. No eating or drinking on the table!
Love love love your comment!! Thank you so much for watching and for the kind words Jeannie!
24:30 hahahaha We've got the exact same saying round my area! But we say it in Portuguese: "Pra quem é, tá bom!"
Your dining table turned out amazing! Kudos!!
Yes! In Lisbon Portugal we say the same!! "Pra quem é bacalhau basta!" It means that you can serve bacalau, a cheap food (it's dried codfish and it's very popular here), instead of a more refined dish. The table is gorgeous!
@@MariaTorres-hc5uq Hahaha! My dad says that all the time: "Pra quem é, bacalhau basta!". He must've heard that from his Grandfather, he was from Aveiro. However, that phrase naver made much sense over here (Sudeste Brasileiro) because 'bacalhau' isn't exactly a cheap item, hence the use of its variant.
Gotta love this little subtile intrincacies of cultural heritage and exchange, right?
@@MariaTorres-hc5uq Maybe it's cheap for you but is very expensive in Brazil. A good quality bacalao here cost R$130,00 for 500g.
Мастер безусловно ответственный !!! Хорошая работа , оценить правда смогут только эстеты.
Been waiting for this for a while. Been building a console table much like you did. Inspiring!
Awesome! i would love to see what you come up with!
Bravo man. Came out awesome. Cheers
Thanks B! Cheers!
A beautiful tribute, thank you for finishing his project...
Thank you Sharon for watching the project! I appreciate the kind words!
I subscribed because of Grandpa Lew. Thank you for honoring your heritage, history, elder and quite clearly beloved friend.
I know he would have appreciated that! Thank you for your kind words Adrienne! and i hope you find enjoyment in my future videos!
A beautiful piece of work!
OMG the labor involved to reclaim the pallets!
When you start the chairs, find a local tree trimmer and tell him what you are looking for, it might take some time but it will be worth the wait.
You don't need a full on mill, a lot can be done with the simplest of tools as you know.
Best regards!
.
The trouble is if you get fresh cut lumber, it takes over a year to dry.
Excellent work!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching Kevin! Peace!
Good work and nice table. 7.40 a metall detector could have helped when you started. Greetings from Germany.
I have a garret ace 250 i have started using before planing. Gotta catch them nails! thanks for watching August, have a great day!
Great job!! Chairs come next. Enjoy. You certainly deserve it. Again------Great job.
Thanks William! And thanks for watching! ill get on those chairs asap! ;)
Nice job. I suggest that you get a handheld metal detector like a pin-pointer.
I started using a Garret ace250 after this video was shot to avoid metals actually! Thanks for watching Greg! Have a great day!
Wow. That is a ton of work and even more patience. Well done.
Thank you for watching and commenting Stephanie!
You are so talented my friend thank you for sharing this what a beautiful table. Your grandfather sounds like a lovely man who passed his knowledge on to you and i'm sure he enjoyed
every second of working with his grandson :)
Thank you for watching Mark! I miss him every day, our elders are walking tomes of irreplaceable wisdom and knowledge. Hope your life is well!
Great Job.Nice dinning table.. Congrats..
Thank you Cesar! Congrats to you as well! Hope life is great!
I think your next project should be a push stick or two for that table saw.
I usually snap a piece of scrap wood off, or use the scrappy little red craftsman add in that came with my other table saw. A lot of this footage from early in the video is almost 4 years old when i never used them and didn't really concern myself with safety a whole lot, more of a get it done type attitude. I have since built a discipline about it and will use them within 3 inches of the blade now. I definitely could use a set, but i plan on building them in a future quick video. Thanks for watching David! welcome to my channel!
He gets a free push stick wit each rip he does
As much as I admire your woodworking skills, I admire your love for your Grandpa more, fantastic.
Thank you so much Nick! He was a great guy, missing him everyday!
All that effort and then no coasters for the beers!!
Coasters on an epoxy finish?
I gotta make some mini pallet coasters ASAP! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful ! Well worth the wait. Kudos.
Thank you Jane! I appreciate it!
DUDE!!! Use the push stick!!! It was right there!!!! 🚑💉
I was going to say that. Glad I looked at the comments first. You must take care of your hands saws can do horrible things to them. Also use that guard that came with your saw.
I agree. In these earlier videos i took my safety way too lightly. I use a push stick almost religiously now unless im doing the Flip-rip method, and then hands aren't even close to the blades. These table saws i used had all the of "safety features" pulled before i ever used them, I've recently purchased a brand new cabinet saw with riving knife, blade guards, etc.. Thanks for the concern though, its dually noted, and thanks for watching!
I loved the chipped wood frustration with the hand. But great job brother:-D
Thanks for watching Delta!
butcher block is end grain to work surface.(avoidance of splinter transfer to meat when chopping with cleavers) that's more of a nice bowling lane...
Fair enough! Ill have to make a legit Butcher block table soon then! However.. bowling lane dinner table doesn't have the same appeal... Thanks for watching!
agreed but if I made this dining table and my wife put a knife to that surface we'd have issues.😂
The video is about to love and tradition of your granfhader.Excelent
Thank you Gustavo! it definitely is, will miss him and his stories. Hope you are well and thank you for watching!
My first thoughts were, I’ll never get through 40 mins of video on this. Now I’ve watched it all and I’m thinking I need to go find some old pallets.
I would love to see what you come up with! Thanks for watching Thundercat68!
So much work.Well done.
Thanks kat!
I see this table being included as a centerpiece into a will of your remote descendants some 650 years later.
I hope so Ignat! Thanks for watching!!
Ya done good!! Great looking table. Enjoyed watching the video.
Hey thanks for watching and commenting Thomas! Hope it was inspiring and i hope the new year is treating you kindly!
Lovely project!:) If I use old wood or recycled wood for a project, I use a big magnet to test for debris:)
Thank you for watching woven! And thanks for the tip! would love to see some of your projects!
Unfortunately since I replied to this video of yours, my career has changed and I am running a drill sharpening service. Luckily I am still doing my hobby of custom bookbinding.
@@wovenscrolls Oh wow! are you on Instagram? id love to see some of it!
@@wovenscrolls Congratulations the drill business! Times are tough and i hope you are doing well for yourself!
I am only on Facebook at the moment unfortunately. My drill sharpening page is facebook.com/dnmsharpening/ and my bookbinding is facebook.com/wovenscrolls/
It turned out awesome! Great job! You put quite a bit of work into it. I hope it becomes a family heirloom.
I hope so too! Thanks for watching Todd, have a great day!
i love the ketchup and mayo bottles with wood glue in them, keep that in mind youtubers
Glad someone finally noticed! 😁
@@treecycled merry Christmas and great job !!!!
@@treecycled I was gonna say, 'is that Salad cream'?
Great idea though.
I thought that was just standard practice for anyone beyond beginner WW....
Very natural-looking table. Saving the trees as well. Nice job!
Thank you! I hope you found some inspiration! Have a great new year!
Nice, almost looks like a bowling lane. Though if I were going to make this I would have found a way to hide the screws and bolts so you couldn't see them. I noticed several things that seemed to make more work for yourself and ended up taking longer to complete. If you had cut all the palette boards to the same width and glued and clamped them on a flat surface you would have had far less planing to do. Once you put glue on them the nails were not necessary. Things like that add up in time.
Yeah, I didn't like how he planed his boards. Run them through at the same time and they come out the same thickness, no extra sanding or planing at they end.
Derek Maugans no
Nice looking piece of work.
Dude, love the table! My grandpa taught me so much over the years and I miss him everyday. I am just getting back into woodworking and this video inspired me. Thanks so much. BTW....did you rip the planks in half for the table top?
Thanks for watching Shawn! i ripped all the planks down to 2.5 iches on this build i think. After all the planing was done the table was 2" thick.
A table for life congratulations well done
Absolutely! Cheers!
