This must be an older version than mine. It seems a bit more primitive. But you've done a lovely job with it! Ours saw daily use since 1940 when my grandfather gave the pieces to my dad who refinished it and reassembled it.
Lots of problems to take care of to fix this thing. You did a good job of finding and explaining them. I really am enjoying watching the project. Keep up the work. Looking good with the weight loss. I hope that is because you wanted to be more healthy. Be well my friend.
I was waiting for you and your dog. I have a new dog. Probably my is fast as yours 😉. Nice video. I'm waiting for the next part. Keep healthy and safe.
You've really got your work cut out for you(no pun intended). I haven't been seeing videos from you. I hope you haven't been sick. Good to see you back. When do you think you will do part 2.?Sorry, I'm anxious to see how you work all this out. I so appreciate your style of woodworking. 🙂👍
Idk if someone already answered this but I saw in your video that you were wondering what might have been fastened to the middle of the table. I believe it may have been a lazy Suzanne. Salt, pepper, napkins, mustard, ketchup, etc. would be kept on a lazy Suzanne in the middle of the table to make them more accessible to everyone.
Tables with this sort of leaf arrangement are fairly common. Doing some research prior to starting any sort of restoration project is essential. One has to understand how the parts of this table were designed to work BEFORE starting in and making changes. In terms of video watching, seeing someone doing things they are clearly skilled and educated about is a great way to learn. Can't say this video fits into that category.
I have been in this business going on 15 years and I have yet to see or work on one so I'd love to know where they're fairly common! As far as learning more about the furniture I work on I will usually look it up and see what I can find online but can you give me any recommendations on good books? I'm always looking for a good book on woodworking/furniture/antiques. If you actually watched the video and part 2 coming up you'll see I address the design issues with this table and try to correct them so future warping and cracking shouldn't occur.😃
I have a table that has those metal clips and they are used to connect to the leaves when they are open. Mine do not work very well anymore because of the wood warping...
Another thing: since you were sawing the table boards and adding wood to a vintage table, you could have also removed that portion of the edge that was broken. If you don't repair that, it will have a dent when people use the leaf on that side...
I enjoy your videos and I'm especially interested in this restoration; but could you please improve your audio? I had to quit 10 minutes in because I'm just not up to wading through a murky aural fishbowl in search of the voice track while being pelted with pings from fasteners hitting that metal bowl (sorry id I'm being overly descriptive here). I'll be back to finish watching this video sometime when I have more patience; but, for future videos, may I suggest investing in a wireless lavalier microphone?
Was wondering how many times I'd be asked about biscuits! 🤣 They aren't really for adding strength, they're simply for leveling and gluing up. I have a biscuit jointer but rarely if ever use it.

"I love rusty spoons . . " It just tickles me that you know Salad Fingers. :)
Yesssss!!! Finally! I've been waiting for someone to notice! 🤣🤣
@@JohnBearWoodworks I was shocked that no one else had commented! We are a strange bunch, those of us who follow the Firth.
Us weirdos gotta stick together! 🤣
I was waiting for you and your dog.
I have a new dog. Probably my is fast as yours 😉.
Nice video. I'm waiting for the next part. Keep healthy and safe.
Glad to see you back my friend, it's going to be a really nice table when you have finished.👍
With your slimmer self and no beard, you look like Justin Verlander! 😁🔥
Nice to see ya back Bud's, doing some good work there, can't wait for the next video, have a nice day & Stay Safe All !!!. Brian UK !!!.
What a wonderful dog. I love the way you teach as you go. Thank you 😊 your not done yet so I will leave 2 comments!
Great to see another video from you, can't wait for part 2!!
Looks good. Thank you for sharing.
It’s good to see you back! The table will be beautiful.
Missed the videos. Glad you’re back. Can’t wait to see how this one turns out.
I’m guessing the screws on the side were added later to pull the top back down when it started to warp but what a cool old table man

Great job, this is not easy, and cupped boards have given me strife in the past.
"It's too cold ta run, Dad." "Ya, nah, it's too cold.." " Alright, if you insist..." Bud.😂👍 (That table is gonna look great, btw. 😎👌)
Hey friend 🙋♀️ just starting out on this video, but I can tell it's gonna be a good one!
Hi Hannah, go through some of his older videos you just might like them.🙋♂️👍
@@johngrubb1590 oh I have! I'm excited for part 2 of this one! ❤️

On the underside of the table?
Sorry. I must have missed that. It might have been a top from another table with a center leg. And you may have already made that observation
I'm guessing they had a hand meat grinder attached to the table top.
Your back!! Looking forward to part two of this restoration. One question what type of stain was that you was using?
Thanks bud! That is an oil based stain.

John, is it just me but that table looks like it has a warp in it?? Maybe just something in the video??
It's probably a cross between it not being perfect and the wide angle lens that distorts things.
Show 👍👏🇧🇷

There is a donation link in the video's description.
Why not biscuit joint the top? It wouldn't show and the top would (hopefully) never crack again.
Was wondering how many times I'd be asked about biscuits! 🤣 They aren't really for adding strength, they're simply for leveling and gluing up. I have a biscuit jointer but rarely if ever use it.
looks like th top was off a pedestal table and cut down to replace the original off this table
Ewwww.. you can't have arachnophobia.. My skin crawled when I saw the white webbs
Interesting work but...44 minutes and you still have a part 2 ? I for one am not going to watch it. Sorry.
🤣🤣🤣
