There is a great section on different wood and what to use for what kind of job and a similar section for tools as well. The projects in it are things you probably would have a go at with clear instructions, pictures, videos and diagrams throughout. Great for a beginner/amateur wood worker.
Great job of reusing old wood, not letting it go to waste, and not cutting down fresh wood. First rate workmanship -- mix of traditional techniques and modern power tools.
Made from recycled/reclaimed wood. If the wood could only tell the tales of its life on the sea. The hard life that the wood endured has become the beauty of the table.
I’ve spent allot of time in south east Asia, mainly Thailand and their talent for turning what we consider junk into everyday useful items never ceases to amaze me , even the tools they use are pretty basic or repurposed from recycled machines. I just wish they could afford a pair of safety boots, ear and eye protection because they are the salt of the earth and really lovely and talented people.
A beautiful table, but it is not made of old railway sleepers but of wood obtained from the dismantling of old wooden ships. The holes visible in the boards are left by the screws connecting the hull planks with the frames, there are also visible holes left by snails, known as shipworms, which are eating wood submerged in seawater. Kudos to the carpenters :-)
Как же это здорово! Дерево росло, набирало силу из земли и дождь с неба, поглощало солнечный свет, потом трудилось в море, служа человеку, и теперь обрело новую жизнь и служение! Очень приятно смотреть на всё это!
@@ibgeorgeb A lot of craftsmen will use C-Channel metal that you then have to router into the base of the table. It is fairly complicated and will look bad if not done accurately…so the idea of using the kerf of your saw blade at 45-degrees and inserting the angle iron is a great time saving idea.
Beautiful table . It’s probably just a cultural thing , but I’d have filled those holes with epoxy rather than leave them like that , but still a lovely chunky piece 👍🏴
Bonjours Messieurs une magnifique table en bois recyclé 😮 bravos à vous soyez fières de vôtres super travail ❤ Bravo d'un français qui demeure à Toulouse 🎉 en occitanie👍
Is the wood treated? The train track ties here are treated with creosote. They wouldn't be safe to use at all. They must be from something else. Maybe ship docks or something with boats. There was boats and docks at the used lumber yard.
That was NUTS...! Neat, though.... Driving that angle iron into the bottom of the tops to prevent warping was interesting - These table would be cooler-er if they were trestle based tables. With that thick of a top there's zero concern with sagging so you don't need a skirt
Lol , of course you are right ! The person who thought up the title clearly didn’t see the salvaged and half broken up boats or the sea behind the pile of wood 😆 👍🏴
Luckily no train sleepers, the creosote in them would make them totally unfit for usage indoors. I am always amazed that no people are injured while making those vids, watching the total disgarding of safety measures.
I agree with Gary--these guys are definitely craftsman. Did someone treat these pieces with creosote? If so, they should keep in mind that creostoe is carcinogenic and wear protective gear. My grandfather was a cabinet maker who worked with a variety of solvents and finishes along with repurposed wood. He died from a brain tumor.

When you think that the train toilets emptied directly onto the sleepers, it makes you realize what an excellent choice they are for making a dining table.
Yes! Yes I have! I have a railway line at the back of my house, and the veggies that grow between the rails are quite outstanding. The best thing is that they all taste of curry and garlic, which saves me a fortune. I always have a couple of brimming glasses every day of the pure water from the outlet of my sewage treatment plant too. Win win, eh! I just wish my girfriends would share my values.
I personally thought the imagery from your first comment made it worth typing and I got a giggle, but since you have had some rude comments back from the experts I would like to make 2 points. 1.They were not railway sleepers because sleepers are a standard size and length and defiantly are not edge bolted. I am going to guess that it was an old rail bridge or platform. Not that moving train toilets don't work on bridges, snicker. 2. You don't have to worry about germs from that old timber because they used to soak the wood in a copper arsenic mix, which no germ, white ant or Borer could survive. So relax buddy, that stuff takes years to slowly build up in your liver and kill you. Like you I have been known to eat organic vegetables, but not the tomatoes that sprout up magically from around the septic tank when it has been overflowing. Its definitely not the same thing as Organic. @@garyjonah22
i watched all the way through waiting for the use of the railway sleepers, From what I saw was boat keels and ribs, I wanted to see how you dealt with the bitumen/tar process used to stop them rotting, it good video thou.
Excellent job with great skills shown by the various craftsman . The look is called distressed timber . This is very much sort after , by the Wokey Hipster Set in the west . Because it is recycled and looks nice , it helps them feel great , along with doing their bit to try and save the planet . Good job , very well done .
NIce work guys. Love the heavy thick lumber and using dowels.. Nice planer and steel toe sandals. Is that a Grizzly sander? I like the angle iron idea. The wood will not never move.
It amazes me that they all have complete sets of fingers and toes. That shop looks like a death trap. Flip flops, salvaged wood full of rusty metal bits, no blade guards and sanding creosote soaked wood with no masks.
These guys never cease to amaze me. I've witnessed some of the finest innovative craftsmanship ever. Watching how they mill all kinds of material is amazing, especially considering the antique tools they have. The creative works of art they produce are inspiring. It's kinda like watching a wood shop thriller movie. Can't say anymore, I just really enjoy this channel.
@augustwest8559 Uts a 3rd world country and they have to earn a living. If you feel so strongly then stop buying furniture coming from those countries beidokd in your supermarkets and stores.and don't complain about stuff being expensive
Add some chairs made from old hazardous waste barrels, place settings of leaded crystal and ceramic, and a tablecloth woven with salvaged asbestos from old heat pipes and you’ve got yourself a nice little superfund dining set! Creosote furniture will be all the rage after the colored resin/wood table fad finally dies.
The table looks amazing; but even more amazing is that the workers have all ten fingers - and ten toes!!!

good idea, yeah...
Yeah that seems like a great idea for larger timber table tops.
Thank you, I wondered what the purpose of that was for.

How is it going to tell tales of its life at sea? The wood, at sea, wasn't alive.
It died when they cut the tree down.

Train from sea 😂
They sure look like train sleepers to me.
0:18 Sleepers are about 2.5 m long. Many of these are clearly a good bit longer - about boat length!
For the dining table you should have filled the holes to make it neat.
The level of personal safety protection is astounding. 😮
Nice steel toe sandals
Real safe with table saw as well.🤦♂️
Yep and the seesawing planer technique is right out of the international woodworking best practice guide too, I think ?
When you see the older workers with fingers or toes missing that’s the proof they are experienced carpenters.
A fantastic table, that is a table that will outlive you, your children, and your grandchildren.
Not setting the bar very high, the toxic chemicals this lumber was treated with is going to kill the people who use this table
Как же это здорово!
Дерево росло, набирало силу из земли и дождь с неба, поглощало солнечный свет, потом трудилось в море, служа человеку, и теперь обрело новую жизнь и служение!

Using the angle iron at a 45 degree angle to prevent warping is a genius idea!
Thank you for the explanation. I was wondering why he drove a piece of metal into the table..

Not a 45 degree but 90
Not forget the used motor oil for lubrication 😂😂
@@andresitomagpatoc9966 2×45 degrees = 90.
Those don’t look like sleepers and the lack of safety is mind boggling
Those look like Teredo worm holes which, suggests their old ships timbers.
Yes about the safety or lack thereof. I wonder how many toes were lost in the making of this video.
Plastic flip-flops are standard safety footwear in some parts of the world. When your feet are harder than steel toe caps it doesn’t matter 😉
good job recycling those woods.
Beautiful table . It’s probably just a cultural thing , but I’d have filled those holes with epoxy rather than leave them like that , but still a lovely chunky piece

A lot of people like those sorts blemishes left for that rustic look. Just personal preferences I guess.
@@irreccon I think the blemishes are fine but I would have wanted it fixed where that one chunk is cut out.
power tools and flip flops....LOVE IT

Well done guys end product looks fantastic.
This is wood from one of these demolishd ships.
I agree these are clearly not railway sleepers but old ribs from wooden ships hence the hooked ends.
Я видела видео мебель делал из шпал.... Результат не ахти...
Well…….by the safety standards I seriously doubt they care if it was creosote
The table might not be pretty, but it will serve it's purpose many, many years to come. Nothing cheap about it. Job well done...
Creative ideas👍👍. The product is very beautiful
I love the OSHA Approved open toed shoes.
Gotta love the patch job two feet up the circ saw cable…
Angle iron trick is one of the coolest hacks I have seen. So smart!
Old sleepers often were treated with creosote.
That was NUTS...! Neat, though.... Driving that angle iron into the bottom of the tops to prevent warping was interesting - These table would be cooler-er if they were trestle based tables. With that thick of a top there's zero concern with sagging so you don't need a skirt
ive watched this video 4 times.. i love this build and this table.
Train sleepers are toxic as hell - turning a table of of them is a very bad idea!
They're not sleepers.
Bottom parts of boat ribbing /deck beams hard wood- not creosoted.
Explícame porque, yo lo desconozco
I wonder how many of the workforce have a full set of fingers
😂me stil all my fingers.can i show you what i built 😅
Those looked more like large boat ribs than sleepers
Salvage from a ship and boat wrecker

I think these are old boat timbers, and by the look if it Red Lead would be a bigger issue.
having cancer is also genetic as well in s.e. asia they have lower rates of cancer compared in the west.
Reclame wood, looks great and very rustic. Many in the UK would love that table
