Merci pour vos explications très bien démontrées et vos vidéos! Très instructif!
Thanks for the tip gluing the rip pieces together to make thicker stock. Cool.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Slick trick to keep track of the legs. 👍
Hope it helps! Thanks for watching!
There's something satisfying about watching people build stuff.
When you make something by yourself it will always be a work ov art , and something to be proud ov ...
This is a fantastic accessible build for most people to have a go at and has a lot of potential for people to put their own mark on it, learn new skills and experiment. Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Hi Colin, wonderfully explained and demonstrated. I love the dowel jig, it is the most bullet proof jig I've seen for setting dowels. I've got a new tool suggestion for my Xmas stocking!! As usual, thanks for your easy going, common sense approach to woodworking. I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. Cheers!!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Nice to see someone using dowels. These days they are underrated.
I really enjoyed watching this build. Thank you for explaining the reveal and use of the dowel jig. 👍😎🇦🇺
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
this is the best table and it is easy to make, Thank you, Colin.
Thanks Colin. A great little table
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Hold your shopvac to the back of the knot to get the glue to penetrate better.
Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!
This episode is so packed with tips and tricks and great jigs it is one of the most instructive wood videos on the web!!!
Thank You!
Great lesson Colin! Thank You ~ God Bless ~ Bill
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
It's amazing how valuable Wood is to us humans for survival... for convenience... So many things it has done for us. It has helped us evolve. it has transformed our lives and I wouldn't doubt that it will be true forever
This is going to help me with a project I’m going to work on soon. I want to build a mobile folding table for my laundry room and my plans are just about the same as this, but larger to accommodate a load of laundry.
Good job Colin!! looks great.
Thank You!
Very Cool End table !!!!!!!!! Thanks for showing us how to make one , Sir
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Great video!
That's a nice table.
Thank You!
Great use of dowelmax. I’m using mine for a desk for my son that I start tomorrow.
Nice job. You make it look easy.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Nice one Colin.
Thanks for watching!
merci pour ton partage
Thank You!
Nicely done.
You're Welcome!
Hi Colin,
Great table.
Thank You!
Great tip on the circle on the table leg bottoms!
But, how do you differentiate between which leg goes where with just a circle? Unless there is some offset, the legs can be switched around and still form the circle. I prefer a triangle and letters. Of course with his metal dowel drilling jig, the "joints" should be close enough that it really doesn't matter as long as the holes are drilled on adjacent sides.
The circle equates to how the table sits on the floor. The top left of the circle is the top left table leg and so on.
Thanks for watching!
Very nice.
Thank You!
Nice simple piece
Thank You!
Hi Colin, Great little project. One for the future for me. Cheers, Huw
Nice project, could be a nice Christmas present as well.
Thanks for watching!
Nice!
Thank You!
Colin checking in with the midnight TH-cam video release. Woodworkers never sleep 😴 !
Thanks for watching!
Very nice and very good
Thank You!
As per usual a very very good video, I hope your viewers are playing the ads to support your channel, I do.
Thanks for watching!
Hello Colin! Nice Project with lots of great tips! I actually need a new table because my current table is too short! I FINALLY got a better table saw to replace that jobsite saw I have complained about for the past two years. I picked up a 1978 Craftsman Commercial with a 10" blade and cast iron table. I did a total teardown. It took me two weeks to restore it but I think I enjoyed the restoration as much as I'll enjoy using it. I was able to dial in the trunion to less than .001" heeling. You should see the cuts. Couldn't do that with the Rockwell but its a good rough saw. That Dowelmax looks interesting. I'm staring at a holder I made in the 70's for my brad point bits and dowel centers. Seems they're always 1/64" off so I might give this a whirl! Thanks for sharing Colin. Best Wishes, Tom K.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Nice little table Colin,this is why I sub to your channel, nice projects made easy. More like this please.
Thanks for watching!
Really like all of your videos but was really interested in this one because of the OSMO. I'm not familiar with it and did a search and found 2 of your your 2012 videos on the product. I think it's worth a refresh because it is such a fascinating product. A public service to ALL.
Thanks for noting that and Thanks for watching!
Really enjoyed this build. As usual another great video. The captions said “Hello everyone, I’m call the cadet...” which isn’t that inaccurate. Colin, you’re the cadet I call on with any woodworking questions
Hi Colin,👍👏👏👏👏👏
Thank You!
I wish you would have showed cutting the corners out of the bottom shelf to get a perfect fit. Other than that it was a great video!
Yes, little tables are often CNC'd these days. How did Colin cut this, given at times the bottom shelf corners may not match the cut out, and it can be finicky?
@@peterg902 I`m guessing but I would use a scrap piece with the same width but only 6 or 7 inches long and then scribe the two leg cutouts, make the cut on this piece, fit it, and then transfer the scribe to the actual piece and cut.
Yes. When one tries what you have said (i.e., cutting), aligning the 4 corners perfectly can be a hit or miss task - it will either look professionally cut or slightly out, even after it is scribed. It would have been nice to see his way.
always watch
Great video Colin. I was taught to always finish both sides of all surfaces so you get even wood movement - no warping. Also why not use slotted brackets to allow for wood movement? Cheers from the other coast.
I finished it later. I was simply trying to get it done quickly for the video release. But, yes, you should do both sides.
I felt this piece wasn't large enough to need slotted brackets. But, you can always use them if you like.
Thanks for watching.
*Love your step by step tutorial videos...thank you Mr Knecht.* 📐📏😍👍💓💗
1:04 Question : what trick do you do, to remove the glue from the roller ? or do you just toss it , and replace it ?
I use a silicone basting brush to spread my glue....it is easy to peel off the glue and resuse it for another project.
Great build. Thanks a lot.
Would it be possible to have an idea of the dimensions?
Thanks for inspiring me.
Very nice and simple (in your eyes but not for me to make) end/side table. Thanks for sharing the video.
Did you make a video on the taper jig in the past? I can't remember I saw that.
I suppose if I had an invisible chair, it would be my favorite.
Would have liked to have seen the corner cutting layout and procedure for the bottom shelf.
Other than that, nice simple side-table that looks pretty darn good.
Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!
Very nicely done, mate. 👍🏽
Solid as a rock, too.
What stain was that, a home made one?
I make tables of plywood and then dress the ends with solid wood so that it cannot be seen. And it will look very similar the table in this video.
Solid wood build are great but using plywood and another materials can make them interesting at times.
Great build . You male it look too easy!
Thank You!
Hi Colin, Thanks for the great video! This looks like high-grade pine or fir, is that right? I've never seen an oscillating sander like the one shown in the video, is that homegrown or store-bought? Very useful!
you didn't explain the lower shelve!!! i guess it need some cut..i guess
Have the same question how do you know how to cut the corners on the bottomshelf so that they're perfect I try doing this and screwed up every time
Would be great if you could take the time to reply, there are quite some people that want to know that!
I find I have more questions than answers after watching this video. The leg glue up was worth the time - did I see you put in a dowel? And when rounding over the leg edges, do you do both sides of each corner ie: 8x per leg?
Looks great Colin. But is there a reason you did not finish the under side?
I finished it later. I was simply trying to get it done quickly for the video. Thanks for watching.
Very Nice table. What are the dimensions of the apron and lower shelf supports? Did you taper all four sides of the legs? Also what is the overlap of the table top? Thank you for the video.
Great design. Quick question, the brackets that hold the top on, is the side attaching the top slotted to allow for wood expansion and contraction?
I felt this piece wasn't large enough to need slotted brackets. But, you can always use them if you like.
Thanks for watching.
Getting a bigger table will be the definition of Parkinson’s Law; the larger the space available, the more mess can be accumulated. Unfortunately the space around your chair will not be clear, but the table is a nice simple design. Regards
I’m curious to know what type of wood you used and why?
how did you measure and cut the bottom shelf??? Thanks
Did you use a jigsaw to notch the bottom shelf???
Nice video- I’m just learning - curious why you chose not to finish and seal the undersides? Also top attachment didn’t seem to leave room for movement ?
My question is why didn't you finish staining the table underneath?
Because you can't see it when the shelve is put on...
To me it just makes it look of higher quality, even though you can't see it.
@@shamong9 I would agree that it is attention to detail that all wood is covered.
I finished it later. I was simply trying to get it done quickly for the video release. But, yes, you should do both sides.
Thanks for watching!
How do I position the groove for a Z clip table top fastener?
Nice and simple build that looks great. Do dowels actually make joints stronger? I’ve seen a few test videos that suggest they are good for alignment like biscuits but add little to the strength.
I've personally found that they do make them stronger!
Who makes the Dowling jig you use and do you have any suggestions for other ones great videos by the way :)
That's a neat little project and turned out very well. It's just nosiness on my part but what were those red dowels you used for the dry fit? Thanks Colin, very enjoyable vid.
They are just my dry fit dowels that are sanded down for dry fitting. Thanks for watching, Mark.
I'm new to this channel and not a woodworker, I am very mechanical and just wanting to start woodworking and your videos make me excited to venture in the hobby. I have some basic tool and will be expanding as I go. I need a table saw, any recommendation for a bigginer?
If you haven't already, check out Pask Makes and Paul Sellers channels. They also build with wood and also make some of their own tools. As far as what table saw to get, Stumpy Nubs channel has a video explaining the differences according to what you want out of a table saw.
@@thomasarussellsr thank you.
I have a video on that here: th-cam.com/video/ZlF_BC-GWrU/w-d-xo.html
@@vendetta989 you're welcome.
Looks great Collin. Why isn’t the inside not painted?
Just the question I was going to ask. I hate when I find a piece of furniture that is not completely painted. That exposes the wood to moisture and wood destroying organisms, and it is so easy to do. I don't understand the laziness or cheapness.
because you don't see it .i don't like it when it's not finished aswell. feels cheap.
@@alanhorne5911 Exactly. It looks cheap, and it looks like they cut corners, which makes me wonder, in what else did they cut corners. Normally I walk away from this types of furniture.
I did the the inside. I was rushing the finish to have it done for the video. Thanks for watching.
@@knecht105 Thank you for clearing that up. Keep up the good work!!
I always thought right angle brackets didn't allow enough wood movement and would cause cracking etc.
Anyone want to enlighten me as if right angle brackets are fine in some applications and why?
Is a planer or jointer needed to do this project?
Hi Colin. During the dry fit, what did you put in the dowel holes? Looks like they were plastic or something.
Same question for me too
@@danreynolds4132 Pretty sure they were fluted dowels with glue on one end.
Looked like regular dowels with red marker on them. Maybe those are sanded down just a bit and only used for dry-fits? That way the dry fit dowels don't get stuck in the holes. You may have noticed he used different dowels (no red marker) for the glue-up assembly.
I wondered the same thing.
Thomas is correct. They are just my dry fit dowels that are sanded down for dry fitting.
Wouldn't you have to have stock thicker than 3/4 to get to the final leg thickness. Where can one get thicker planed stock that is available off the shelf?
Do you have a buy list available with dimensions?
Did you drill dowel holes before or after you cut the legs to size ??
Where can I find one of those doweling jigs? It looks sturdy
www.dowelmax.com
Sometimes one dowel can be enough.
Can anyone tell me what type of wood this is? white oak?
dowel max nice tool but not\t in my budget at 229.00
Make one.
@@shawnr771 not one for gadgets don't need one
@@cjlures8618 me either. But if needed something as a one shot where I needed to do something repeatedly for a single job. I would make a jig that would work for me.
use old fashioned dowel pins
@@cjlures8618 Yes, I am just not steady enough to drill straight.
I can make a guide to help me get the holes in the proper postion.
I have no access to electric power where I am going to be building items.
Do you know how to build thing with no power tools at all?
Hey Colin love your videos. I also use the Dowelmax system and I was wondering about the fact that you stain and finish before gluing. The only glue that will bond is inside the Dowel holes not the surfaces between the joints. Is that a strong enough joint, and if that stain or finish gets in the dowel holes the glue won’t stick there either.
Because it's end grain, virtually all the strength of the joint is in the dowel. Thanks for watching!
Sounded like you were drilling pocket holes!
Why is he putting mustard on everything?
Must include measurements next time
Colin mentioned it was a custom dimension for his favorite chair. You can do likewise.
So you are relying on the glue joint on the dowels only, not surface to surface also ?
Typically joints involving end grain are not strong to begin with (glue soaks into the end grain). Dowel joints are plenty strong to hold the table together.
@@dwightl5863 that's why many furniture builders coat the end grain with glue and let it dry for a bit before adding more glue during assembly.
@@thomasarussellsr I've seen and heard of that before. Long grain to long grain I'm comfortable with but anything with end grain gets reinforced with dowels, splines, screws, etc.
I watched the entire video to see how you did the shelf and you never showed it??
Do any of you guys realize we don’t have all of these tools???
was enjoying this till you tried to tell me how to incorrectly speak English... 4:40
