    Don't be down on your casters, bro. That's a great table that will likely last you for the rest of your life. Being able to move it and clean the debris out from under the edges of the wood will add years of life to the lower parts and save you a ton of trouble later. I say kudos to you for getting out there and doing it with just your skills and minimal tools.

      Thanks for the encouragement. It’s tough building with limited tools. The TH-camrs with the dedicated shop and tools makes it look easy and effortless but this was not the case.

    As soon as I saw you start to build the legs out of 2×4 and 2×2 I knew that table was going to be HEAVY lol. No matter though. That thing is going to last for decades sheerly due to how solid its construction is. Props, man

    Pro tip: when you're struggling with the glue drying on you rather than using your hands and pouring it over, try a cheap paint tray and small paint roller ✌

    Love it! Say what you will about pine, fir, spruce or other soft wood. They age well and then, any dings and scratches that are depressing on almost any other woods only adds character to them.
    What I like to do instead of hiding screws is to remove them one by one once the glue is set, drill a larger hole and glue in a dowel of contrasting colour. It looks very much on purpose and has never failed me thus far.
    Also : connecting the sander to a vacuum will it speeds up the sanding by a lot.

    I built a monster table using all 4x4 for the base and 2x12 for the top. Your video has given me an idea on how to move the table. You could make a sleeve that has the casters on it. That way you lift each side and slip the sleeves under it. It’s extra stuff to keep around but it doesn’t mess with the aesthetic of the table.
