Gorgeous chunky table! I really liked the end grain showing through the top. A guy in my area posted some free chunks of rail road ties. I may go get some... but where the hell am I going to put them?
Hahaha! I know that feeling! I’m constantly hiding wood on my property. Also, railroad ties have creosote in them. It’s crazy toxic. I’ve tried working with it years ago and it made me feel terrible. Wouldn’t recommend it but you do you. (I break the woodworking rules all the time…. Hahaha!)
One truism about woodworking is you can never have too many clamps. So invest in a few more and clamp the workpiece down. Maneuvers like at 8:55 worry me because you're trying to precisely cut a straight line with something relatively heavy, sharp, and powerful while you're standing on one leg to do the job of a $15 clamp. Delegate some responsibility to the clamp so you can safely do the routing.
Beautiful job mate looks mint. Me personally (just me) I'd of groud the head off a big rustic bolt sprayed it black and hammered that in make the appearance of the bolt going through. Still all turned out amazing. $2500 if only in my area 😳🤦🏴👍
Thanks man! Yeah, that would’ve been cool! It’s wild that stores can get that much. I don’t think I could around here either. And me personally, I’d be willing to pay more for a custom handmade object but usually, people don’t feel that way 🤷♂️
@DieTrying13 yea definitely I'm feeling it right now aswell people would rather go buy plastic or cheap shit than something hand made and pay little more things ain't going great for busines the now.
Great job sir love your videos and your content it just goes to show you can take nothing and make something keep up the good work abc again Great job

Nice build !! Always amazes me that “rustic” is still in demand
Thanks!!!
Wicked. Straight forward and love that!!!
Thanks dude!
That thing is a real beefcake, super cool
Thanks!!!
Great video and tutorial and WOW what a table
Thank you!!! 😊
Really nice looking table. Love the chunky style.
Thank you!!! Appreciate it!
Making a jig for a router like that works better with either a bearing or a guide bushing.
Definitely. I don’t know why I didn’t but you’re right. Thanks for the tip!

@DieTrying13 hmmm, good point. I breathe enough sawdust already. Think I'll pass on the railroad ties! Thanks for the tip!
Pretty cool, d rather use joinery rather then lag bolt
Me too but I’m not great at joinery. Didn’t want to risk it that far into the project.

Thanks for the tip! I find myself racing through jobs too often and need to slow down

How long did it take to build?
I honestly couldn’t tell you. Longer than I wanted but I had to work on it around a bunch of other things I had going on.
2500 would be collecting dust on that website bro...
It nice... but that isn't 2500... 500 is rich for fast grown cheap whitewood.
$2500😂I think you mean $250
Don’t undervalue yourself. If you watched the video you’d see that I didn’t think it was worth 2,500 either. But 250 is silly
