Making a Square Alder Dining Table With Intersecting "X" Base.

- This is a 60 inch square dining table made from solid Alder.
The base is made from two X shapes, one of which has a section removed so that the second one can pass through it.
The tablesaw sled that I make in this video is to cut the 84.4 degree angle for the half laps in the X legs.
This is not a very convienient angle but when I designed this table I knew that I wanted the footprint of the base to be 35 inches square. I also needed the final tabletop height to be 30 inches.
With these to figures fixed, the angle came out to 84.4 degrees.
I generally dont like to stain wood but my customer wanted a deep brown color so this wood was stained with Minwax "Espresso" stain.
As always, Thanks for watching.

Wow your table is sweet!!!
Hello my friend.
good idea. You've created a beautiful square dining table with "X" Legs. Congratulations. good job. Thank you for sharing. Stay healthy and happy. See you all the time. Greetings. I wish you a happy and beautiful Christmas....
Thank you! I hope you have a great holiday season as well.
@@LastLegWoodworks thanks. see you.
fantastic !! now round up the corners
Ha! why didn't I think of that! Thanks for watching!
Wow sweet
Thanks
Love it!!
初めまして！凄くセンスの良いテーブルですね。他の家具も素敵でした✨
もっと伸びて欲しいです！
Hi! It's a very nice table. Other furniture was also nice ✨
I want you to grow more!
ありがとう！ そして見てくれてありがとう！ Thanks!
Just using that Johnson’s paste wax like they’d keep making it forever 😅. Nice work!
I know! I still cant believe its gone! Havent found a replacement yet either! Thanks!
Waow amazing work. Would you consider selling one to me? And what would something like this cost me? Thanks
Beautiful table. No issues with the two edge boards under the table for enhanced thickness being glued across the grain? The boards glued parallel I would expect to move with the top boards but those going across the grain, no warping or cracking?
Thanks man! I appreciate that. There is actually not any cross-grain glue up on this table. Take a look at 13:36 and you'll see where I glue up the off cuts side by side in the same order as they are on the tabletop. Then when I glue that on at 15:33 the boards line up with their matching board in the top and all the grain runs the same way. This way they can move together. Thanks again for watching!
Great job over there! I really like the stain color you used, but couldn't see a clear picture from the video, could you please post the link where I can purchase it? Thank you! And again, a great job and finish.
Thanks,, That stain is Minwax Penetrating semi transparent stain. The color is Espresso. Thanks for watching!
@@LastLegWoodworks Creat, thank you!
What is the measure of the top? For how many people?
New here and just getting into CnC, what was the tool called or link that you used to interlock the tabletop with at 11:37? Thanks in advance
That is a Festool Domino. It cuts a mortise for a floating tenon.
Beautiful woodworking skills and finished table. I’d be concerned if an adult sat with all their weight on a corner.
Oh my, I’d be concerned too! A table with a center base isn’t meant for that. Thanks for checking it out.
Love the design! How did you calculate the length and angle of the legs to achieve the desired height?
I modeled the table in Sketch-up. Once I knew the footprint that I wanted, and the table height, then I had the angle.
Thanks for watching!
I really like your design of the table legs. My son has requested I make a table for him but he wants it round and a six foot diameter. How stable is the table with that style base?
Hi, thanks for checking out the video. This table is very stable. I followed the 2/3 rule for a pedestal base. So if your tabke will be 72 inches, the pedestal footprint should be roughly 48 inches. I’m not sure how hard and fast that rule is but it has worked well for me. Thanks again.
thanks for the quick response. I appreciate the 2/3 rule.
I really like the time and effort you put into that table. The finish is flawless. Amazing work. 5 coats is what I always do when I use Danish oil. What finish did you use please?
Thanks so much, Tony. I really appreciate that. I used a satin Arm-R Seal from General Finishes. I'd like to try Danish oil sometime. Is it hard to apply?
@@LastLegWoodworks No it's pretty easy. One thick coat with a rag then leave for only 5 minutes before wiping off the excess. Then another thin coat after fine sanding every 24 hours. It takes time but the results are amazing and very long lasting. Another advantage of Danish oil is that it's food safe and no need for any stain before. Even on pretty rough pine I get a lovely finish. My whole kitchen is finished with Danish oil. It's not very expensive in the UK and goes a long way with a good shelf life. Maybe it will be worth you experimenting on off cuts. Also because it's an oil it's very weather and UV resistant. Hope that helps. Would love to see one of your projects using it. Just remember the first coat nice and thick and even. Leave no more than 5 or so minutes before wiping off excess, otherwise it becomes very sticky. 😀
@@tonywharton5220 Thanks for the great information. I have a coffee table job coming up tat may be the perfect candidate. I will do as you suggest and try it on some off-cuts first.
Thanks again!
@@tonywharton5220 hi, Tony. I’ve been doing some reading today on Danish oil. What brand do you prefer? There are some recipes out there that people use to mix their own apparently.
@@LastLegWoodworks It's in my shed. I will have a look later and let you know ☺️
If I want to make this myself, approx how much will it cost me in supplies? I already have all the tools. Thanks!
Hard to say with wood prices so volatile. I think I only spent about 300 on this knotty alder.
Where can I find the plans for the legs? I would really love to make that design.
I don't really have plans, I designed this in SketchUp. I do have this drawing that has all of the measurements though. I hope that helps.

Do you sell your plans for this table. I have been looking for plans like this
Hello, no, I don’t sell any plans. But I’m happy to share my drawings from Sketchup for those legs. It should have all the measurements you need. See if this file helps.

thank you, i just saw your reply and downloaded the drawings. that's very close to what i had in mind. i appreciate it. @@LastLegWoodworks
Where did you get the plans for the table and legs. I have been looking for the plans for the legs and can not find them.
I designed a table myself in SketchUp so there aren’t really plans. I’d be happy to send you the SketchUp file if you are interested in that.
@@LastLegWoodworks I would greatly appreciate it. I am new to sketchup. I’m learning a little bit still have a king way to go
@@shaynetcrocker Sorry for the delay. Here is the SketchUp diagram. Thanks! I hope it helps.

Simply stunning! How long did it take you to make it and can I ask, how much did you charge?
Thanks a lot! I'm terrible at keeping track of hours but I think maybe 12-15. I may be off on that. The cost would be around $2350. Thanks for checking it out!
@@LastLegWoodworks Do you sell plans and a method statement. I would love to have a go, but am quite intimidated with the levels of measuring and accuracy required.
@@ChrisJacksonDubai I really don’t have any plans. I could share the SketchUp model with you if that would help. That’s about all I used to build the table.
@@LastLegWoodworks wow, that's really kind of you, thanks. Do you need my email, or can you send it through TH-cam (sorry I'm not the greatest when it comes to tech).
No problem! Try this link to download the image with measurement labels. www.dropbox.com/s/3i3w6nuygnhhsr0/Alder%20Table.png?dl=0
I would encourage you to start narrating your videos
Hey thanks for your comment, keep watching, I narrate several of my videos. Thanks for checking it out!
The stain in my opinion ruined the natural beauty.
I dont use stain often but the customer wanted this specific stain color.
@@LastLegWoodworksplus good thing you didn’t make it for them
