My husband and I built this table 6 years ago before we got married. We used a wood burner to add designs into it and our last name. It has moved with us 3 times now and is still as sturdy as the day we built it. We love it!
I've been an experienced woodworker for over 50 years, and I really like you guys and the stuff you build because you take a very simple approach to building useful furniture pieces that lots of young families can make themselves at very low cost -- and they turn out pretty darn nice, by the way. Keep on doing what you're doing.
This is just superb, I've been looking for "how to make a tabletop out of plywood" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Fenadelyn Esteemed Framework - (should be on google have a look )? It is an awesome one off product for discovering how to improve your woodworking skills without the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cousin got amazing success with it.
Underrated channel. Simple yet beautiful. Sure, there are no pocketholes or dowels or inclinometers, but it's what makes these so appealing, this makes it look like almost anyone can make this!
Joan Belmont I thought it would be $50, but after buying all the wood and supplies it was $200. We wouldn’t have even been able to get just the wood for $50. Maybe it’s because we live in a big city?
Wow! A DIY vid that actually takes you step by step on how to build something. Most DIY vids are for career, professional carpenters. Basically they start with the project they are going to build and then some drilling and hammering then the finished project. This is great!
Loved this project!!! Husband and I completed it in 2 hours waiting to stain it today!!! So excited!! We live in Pennsylvania, it costed up $130.00 at home depot for supplies. Can't complain though the table looks better than I have seen a a furniture store! We made it 33 inches in height. Best project ever! Great job Guys!
I need to make mine 40 in height cuz my husband wants to stand. Ugh 130 vs 50 is a big difference. I'm about to go up home depot now. I wonder, is that "I" really necessary??? It's just a table for him to do his homework on.
Just built a slightly modified version this past weekend. It was my first project and decided to use it as a workbench in my shop, so I made it taller and added a shelf below on the I-beam. I'm planning on building a couple more for use around the house. Thanks for the great project idea!
I'm a fairly-advanced skilled woodworker, but I like simplicity, and what you guys do is keep it simple. You show men and women that they don't need to have a fancy fully-equipped shop with expensive tools in order to have fun building nice pieces of furniture for their homes -- especially young couples living on a slim budget in a small apartment. Always look forward to seeing your newest projects.
I just got done building this table with my dad and I LOVE the way it turned out! The video was easy to follow and allowed me (with some guidance from my dad) to build my very first table!
My husband built this table because of your video. Thank you for posting. He’s been wanting to build a dining table for our family, ever since we bought our new house. He made it 8 feet long and also built two benches. I can’t wait for it to completed this weekend.
I just made this table for my home. Turned out wonderful. I love the nicks in the wood after it's stained. I plan on building the bench as well. I love you guys for putting the dimensions on the channel.
I love coming back to watch this video.....so simple, I've built three of these for family/friends, along with benches to match. I can get the lumber super cheap at Menard's, and I've added a couple touches of my own- I took my trim router with a 1/16" round over bit to take some of the burs and sharp edges off.
Great video! It's so nice to see someone presenting a project that isn't "easy," but not difficult enough to discourage a beginner. I like that someone explained the purpose of the mortise and tenon joints and how they make a difference, but that's not within the realm of a beginning woodworker. This table is 100 times better than a pressed fiber board melamine table from Walmart that costs 200.
Why is everyone such a hater, honestly these tutorials for furniture like this are going to SAVE me and my fiance when we're poor newlyweds this summer. It's a fun project, and cheaper than buying new and it's SUPER cute. Maybe it won't last forever but who cares. It'll do for now and I love how they look. Excellent video!
I suspect the haters are people like me who have worked with their hands for many decades and now the young Yuppies/millennials taking over the Internet building crap and making money for views I don’t know that’s just my speculation on the question why is everyone such a hater. And let’s not Forget to Factor in the fact that there’s a beautiful woman showing her cleavage in the video.
Because it's not a $50 table, more like $80 to $100, but hey at least on this project they used wood glue. But if you wanna get technical, a square is your best friend if your a beginning woodworker and showing how to use a tape measure to check square. Also add a square block to the top of the legs, one to the table and tobuild up the thickness of the table and attach the legs from underneath. Finally, her staining job looks like poop because its pine.
great video thank you. built your table this last weekend. except added our own little twist. instead of the using your boards for the bottom. I used some landscaping timbers and sanded them smooth. added a great touch. thank you again.. have a great week!!
if you used a kreg jig to secure your boards from the bottom, you wouldn't be able to see any nails on the top of the table. Just gives a cleaner look...
I have been having a hard time finding the materials for that cheap. Do you have any advice on finding cheaper materials? I'm definitely going to make this table. Thanks for sharing!
Omg just found you guys when we're getting ready to move and you're literally saving us a lot of money on our first venture out into the world thanks a million you have a new subscriber 😍😍
I tried this and my table came out great!!! However, I spent about $100 for materials (wood, nails, glue, sanding block, and stain); still better than paying $500+ on a table! Thanks for the tutorial!!!
Dont feel bad on the price. I literally just finished the table tonight and the cost was the same for me. However I did do the benches for about 25 and it all looks amazing.
There is so much wood thrown away, from bulldozed houses to furniture. You can repurpose the wood by taking apart and rebuilding. Only problem is that new wood is so soft , that's why you dont have to predrill.
Made this farmhouse table and two benches and voila...With spar urethane, we have a gorgeous and sturdy outdoor set for a fraction of the price of buying it. Supplies we got from HD and cost about $40 per bench and $120 in lumber for the table. It took 3 weekends to complete in phases. Sanded, stained and it came out beautiful. So worth it! Plus it’s so rewarding to DIY! Thank you so much Rehab Life for sharing this and inspiring us!
I am INSPIRED. I am sooooo doing this. I refurbish furniture and my hubby builds farmhouse tables, but his is more complicated, and this shows me it does NOT need to be. I love this. Thank you!
Amaaaaazing! Exactly what I was looking for, I'm tired of going to stores and finding ugly dinning tables way more expensive. This is perfect and a great accomplishment :)
I understand many will say that proper jointery would save many problems. I agree. However, tutorials like this, and Ana White, are a launching pad for beginner wood workers. In that, I see them as a good thing. Maybe the table warps over time. Maybe in that same time, the person learns to build a better constructed table. Without this video, or ones like it, they may never have had the courage to attempt to make anything. My only issue is when I see someone on ETSY, selling a "distressed pine" farm house table, improperly built, for 700 dollars. That is just plain wrong.
Theresa Dean .. because wood is dynamic and moves with variations in humidity. if screwed or nailed down, it can't move along the grain as it is intended and will either warp, cup, or the joints will pull apart. As someone's level of experience grows, they learn how to joint wood to allow for movement. but we all start somewhere. If this video makes someone want to learn more, then I say it is a great thing.
I would use mortise and tennon joints to attach the legs to the apron, and the bread boards to the top. (The end boards). I would use figure 8's or Z clips to attatch the top to the apron. These all allow for movement in the wood without damage to the joints, or cupping and warping of the boards.
Absolutely brilliant for someone just embarking on a beginners woodworking course, this could not be a better stating place, with different sizing you could make anything ! Coffee tables, side tables benches etc.
I love this and the way you make it simple and to the point I need a dining room set I'm going to make this and source some chairs I'm excited to start thank you
My husband and I just made this table and 2 of the bench seatings. It turned out amazing and was so affordable!! Thank you for posting this and leading the way!! I am beyond excited for the holidays and hosting now❤
i just luv every piece she makes.....she makes everything look so simple and fun..what she makes is higher quality than any crap u purchase in a store made out of the same material....i wish she would be more vocal in her videos....
it is sad to see all the negative comments about someone's hard work!!!! I love your table. I also think this is the best and easiest tutorial I have seen for a day farmhouse table! I am surely going to show my husband your video seeing we have been wanting to make this table for the longest time.. I personally am so excited to do this project . Thank you for sharing your time and talent with me. I have falling in love with diy projects. I just so happen to come across your channel by mistake. But honey I just subscribed please don't listen to the haters. They are just doing what they do best hate. It is much easier to build someone up instead of trying to tare them down. Keep up the good work love I love this table!™
Just finished the benches and about to start our table now. One thing I'm going to have to retrofit is the bench because we need to save space, so will make it shorter so it can go underneath the table. But other than that, I think it is a great design. I switched 2x3's out with 2x4's for strength. Oh, in terms of the negative comments, seems normal to me. Most people that would do that have never built anything - if they had, they certainly wouldn't criticize this design/build.
I would say most of the negative comments are from professionals like myself. We know how warped and twisted this table will be after the exterior grade lumber dries out indoors. I guess if you don't mind the sound of plates clinking and clanking on your warped table surface and the half inch shim underneath one leg to keep the whole table from teeter tottering, it's great!!! I think the other thing that's ticking some people off, is when they go to their local Home Depot and spend $120 on the same materials..
+Dianne Jurgen you can build furniture with exterior grade lumber if you dry it first. I'm not saying it's going to happen right away, it usually takes 2 to 3 years to stabilize. Hopefully you're lucky enough to be buying from the Home Depot that lets their lumber sit around long enough indoors to dry below a 12% moisture level. In that case you would be good to go, so I'm not saying it's impossible, just very unlikely from my experience as a professional cabinetmaker and renovator. I used to build things out of exterior grade lumber as well, and now most of those projects are warped and twisted with cracks and splits.
+Dianne Jurgen if it's the affordability of the 2by lumber that allows you to build projects keep doing it!!! Next time stack your lumber all face to face and get an employee to put some packing straps around the stack. That should pull them tight essentially making one large piece of wood that is less likely to warp when it dries out. Then just bring it into your house to dry for 4-6 months before using it. after you've cut the straps on your dry stack of lumber and build what you want with it it should stay that way forever.
The video is straight out. Some "DIY" videos show a guy cuting wood with top power tools and a garage full of industrial machinery, then go through some really specialized techniques with more tons of tools, so you ask yourself: DIY really? really? is more like, DYI you experienced expert woodworker workshop owner. This is a simple tutorial it really is DIY.
@@kam3410 I think they were saying this video was good. Other videos say DIY but they're using planers, jointers, table saws, and other expensive tools you wouldn't own unless you were heavily into woodworking.
I haven't done word working in a while and you just inspired me. I'm making this a baking table (for breads and stuff) - extended the legs up by 6 1/2" and then a 2x10 top instead of the 1x10. Thanks for the inspiration and awesome, easy to follow video!
Well looking back this video obviously is not made for Portland, OR - it's almost impossible to find 1x10 boards and 5 inch wood screws are the elusive unicorn around here.
Because of your video I built our farmhouse table in 2016. Its the strongest piece of furniture in our house. I decided to change the color when we painted our kitchen. Still looks amazing. Thank you for this video.
Here's a trick my dad taught me when it comes to distressing wood: lay a screw on it's side, and hit the threads into the wood with a hammer. The mark it leaves ends up looking like a worm hole. :)
Different sizes of pieces of chain work well. About three or four links long, lay them on the surface and hit the chain with a hammer. Small chains leaves different marks than larger size chains which leaves a combination of distress marks.
The joints of the wood on the top will be problematic down the road... they will collect dirt, debris, food, play-doh, pet hair and lord only knows what else. Trust me, you only make this mistake once. The next table she builds she will either joint the boards to get tight seams, or she will fill the joints. Mark my words.......
At a minimum I would have sealed the raw wood before staining, especially with Pine, this prevents the stain finish from being all blotchy, which it clearly is in this video. This is no trick, its on the back of Minwax Stain can to use Minwax Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner before you apply the stain to seal the wood. I don't know why one would skip this step other than to save a little money or time. It would have turned out much better though had they not skipped this step in Minwax's instructions. Your finish is only as good as your prep work.
Pre-stain works okay, but the main impact on stain (imho) is grain. If you have inconsistent grain on the boards (ie.. one board having linear grain and the other having flat grain) the wood will absorb stain differently. So choose boards with the same pattern on the end grain, or end of the board. Sanding is also something that will help a lot. Start with 80 and work your way up to 120, 150 and 180. this will help keep wood texture more consistent and help with the staining process.
+Peter Young I don't see why knowing more about about a particular project is detrimental. Just because its $50 doesn't mean it cant turn out as nice as possible.
Great video, I built mine, super easy to follow. Only recommendation would be that it cost me 170 to buy all the supplies, 150 in just wood, deff not just 50
Would you mind sharing what type of wood you used? I want to make this but I need durable wood that can withstand two rough boys and a large dog and not warp like crazy.
First, great job you guys, building anything that you love is incredibly rewarding, and it does look good given what you were trying to accomplish. However, give it a year, you'll see why using lumber from the local home center is a terrible idea for a piece like this. Warping and sap are going to be an issue for years to come. It won't happen at first, it takes a bit, but it happens to the best of us. As everyone who knows has already pointed out gluing down the top like that doesn't let the wood expand and contract. You don't fully appreciate what that means until you see the splitting and cracking that happens, and it isn't in some cute "shabby chic" way, it's in a tacky, low quality craftsmanship way. But I'm guessing you guys are pretty new at this, and honestly for a first attempt you did a great job. Experience is the best teacher, and just doing a project like this, with all of it's flaws, gives you a great experience to draw from on your future projects, believe me, I have my own home store wood table on my patio, experience will teach you in the end. Carry on.
I can't seam to keep my attention on making the table long enough to learn anything. Beautiful video. Didn't think I needed one but now I've got to get me one of those.
I have basically ZERO experience in woodwork and never wanted to have a hammer in my hand. I’m obviously late to all this but this video inspired me to give it a whirl and my wife is elated. I love these videos so much. As others have stated they’re very easy to follow and great on a tighter budget. Thanks so much guys!
Anybody that tells you, you shouldn't use a hammer and nails to make a farm table is a fool, hammer and nails the been used for centuries, in fact my mother had a table that was made in 1803 hammer and nails it works just as good today as it did then, speaking of nails you can also buy reproduction nails from that period online, anyway great video
Oh Mhe Ghad, if it's sitting outside in the sun, the nails will be "ok" until they rusticise/discolor the wood and eventually pull thru, within 8 years I would guess. This is 2019 and we have better materials available.
justin barrett Look Bub, many are here trying to let idiots like yourself (DIY) not to throw money away on a very poor way of doing something that is going to warp and fall apart in short time. Also, as mention by others, there is no way this project was done under $50. I don't need to waste my time in front of a camera and editing software. There are more than enough really good and knowledgeable woodworkers out there to learn from. You want to come watch her work so you can see her boobs. Just admit it, but quit thinking this was any way proper in making a table.
I'm a seasoned woodworker who just had to sell my equipment during a move. Happy to find this video online actually. And it wasn't a chop saw (whose actual name is a compound miter saw) that I used, it was a circular saw. After having put this project together, I'd say there were only a few tweaks I needed to make - not a fan of finish nails though rink shank would be an easy switch, and understand the purpose. Good design, not perfect and not $50, but nevertheless good. Part of DIY culture is learning and tweaking (which is the purpose of the comment section, just so you know).
Love the table. Love that it was built with nails and a hammer. Not all furniture needs to be built to survive a zombie apocalypse. This shows that anybody can do this if they just give it a try.
We needed a table. Used this tutorial (great instruction for beginners) to create our family table and benches. Love it!!! Material cost in Hawaii: $240.00
Building this table today, on Long Island this table costs 85 dollars to make not including hardware because I have that stocked. Actually going a bit smaller but keeping the basic principle.
+Amber Ruiz - We used standard pine lumber from Menards (a midwest hardware store) and it was under $40. There are more expensive lumber options available, and prices vary from hardware store to hardware store.
+lnhumane Queen hmm, I'm not sure why but I spent almost $120. I did have to purchase everything, including the stain and polyurethane. Not sure if that was included as the "under $50". Either way, I spent a lot less on materials than I would if I actually bought a table like this at a furniture store (especially in my area of california) it was worth it and super easy.
Lowes/Home Depot is too expensive for wood. Only go there for 2x4's. Rockler and Woodcraft are good but pricey. Find a local hardwood dealer. Stay away from companies with "lumber" or "building materials" in the name. Key word to look for is "hardwood".
I love your videos. I've seen this video a year ago and am finally going to give it a shot. My wife and I want a larger dining table, mostly for game night, and believe this table would be perfect. I built the headboard you built and it turned out amazing, was easy too. Thanks for difficult looking projects turned easy with your step by step videos and including all materials needed for each project.
I really like this table. Simple yet functional. Thanks for the video. I will have to watch it a few more times to make sure I got it. Especially the sanding part.
I think the table is really nice but not sure about the $50. When I priced materials at Lowes, it was closer to $100 but still a nice table for that kind of money.
I love what you do with your projects, but I want to hear you talk about your process. The music is distracting to me. I really do love your work though!!!!
Cute project! You really can't buy those materials for $50, though. A 1" x 8" x 6 foot pc of ordinary Doug fir is EIGHT FREAKING DOLLARS at the HD nearest me. (Bot some 2 weeks ago and was stunned) You have 1 x 10" which would cost more. And you ought to predrill those 5" screws thru the legs into the lower "I" assembly. And please wear safety glasses working the chop saw to help preserve eyes on the beautiful face! Nice video!
I have no idea what shes doing but it looks like she needs to double coat it at the least a couple more coats would do. I would love a video of her just doing that.. LOL
I'm moving, and changing the look of my current pieces to a cottagy, rustic look is to expensive an option. I have nice pieces as it is, all wood. This "The Rehab Life" has saved me. I'm pretty artistic and like to build, so it's perfect for me. One by one, I'm using these easy to follow DIY pearls to change my furniture to what's my new "scheme" of things. Thank you so much and I'll be staying tuned for all of your projects !! RLo
I want to know where these people buy their products because the stain and poly alone cost $25 and even in the damaged section of h.d. I couldn't get enough useful wood to make that for the other $25.
I mean if you're not counting the cost of stain and polyurethane and any of the other extra stuff and just bought wood and glue it could be about 50 bucks. Most people dont have that tho, so it probably an added 100 dollars. But compared to paying 500+ for a table it's not bad.
One of their videos motivated me to build a table. The table wasn't professional by any means but it came out cool, I learned a lot, and it gets compliments lol. Knowing what I know now I can build a much better table

I am INSPIRED. I am sooooo doing this. I refurbish furniture and my hubby builds farmhouse tables, but his is more complicated, and this shows me it does NOT need to be. I love this. Thank you!
I haven't seen a calculator watch in a long while. This table reminds me of my grandparents' table back in Europe! Thanks for the nostalgic moment.
It's a classic!
@@TheRehabLife Yep! And nothing wrong with that!
Amaaaaazing! Exactly what I was looking for, I'm tired of going to stores and finding ugly dinning tables way more expensive. This is perfect and a great accomplishment :)
Have you ever try
I understand many will say that proper jointery would save many problems. I agree. However, tutorials like this, and Ana White, are a launching pad for beginner wood workers. In that, I see them as a good thing.
Maybe the table warps over time. Maybe in that same time, the person learns to build a better constructed table. Without this video, or ones like it, they may never have had the courage to attempt to make anything.
My only issue is when I see someone on ETSY, selling a "distressed pine" farm house table, improperly built, for 700 dollars. That is just plain wrong.
Why would the table warp??
Theresa Dean .. because wood is dynamic and moves with variations in humidity. if screwed or nailed down, it can't move along the grain as it is intended and will either warp, cup, or the joints will pull apart. As someone's level of experience grows, they learn how to joint wood to allow for movement. but we all start somewhere. If this video makes someone want to learn more, then I say it is a great thing.
So what would you use instead of screws or nails?
I would use mortise and tennon joints to attach the legs to the apron, and the bread boards to the top. (The end boards). I would use figure 8's or Z clips to attatch the top to the apron. These all allow for movement in the wood without damage to the joints, or cupping and warping of the boards.

Absolutely brilliant for someone just embarking on a beginners woodworking course, this could not be a better stating place, with different sizing you could make anything ! Coffee tables, side tables benches etc.
Thank you!
My wife and I made this table and it turned out great! It’s sturdy and looks amazing. Build it!!!
Simple, doable and elegant....I would lighten up that stain!
Seeing her do it gives me confidence to do it...Thank you!
I love this and the way you make it simple and to the point I need a dining room set I'm going to make this and source some chairs I'm excited to start thank you
My husband and I just made this table and 2 of the bench seatings. It turned out amazing and was so affordable!! Thank you for posting this and leading the way!! I am beyond excited for the holidays and hosting now❤
Awesome! Thanks for watching and hope the hosting turns out well!
Hows it holding up?
i just luv every piece she makes.....she makes everything look so simple and fun..what she makes is higher quality than any crap u purchase in a store made out of the same material....i wish she would be more vocal in her videos....
it is sad to see all the negative comments about someone's hard work!!!! I love your table. I also think this is the best and easiest tutorial I have seen for a day farmhouse table! I am surely going to show my husband your video seeing we have been wanting to make this table for the longest time.. I personally am so excited to do this project . Thank you for sharing your time and talent with me. I have falling in love with diy projects. I just so happen to come across your channel by mistake. But honey I just subscribed please don't listen to the haters. They are just doing what they do best hate. It is much easier to build someone up instead of trying to tare them down. Keep up the good work love I love this table!™
I meant diy farmhouse table
Just finished the benches and about to start our table now. One thing I'm going to have to retrofit is the bench because we need to save space, so will make it shorter so it can go underneath the table. But other than that, I think it is a great design. I switched 2x3's out with 2x4's for strength. Oh, in terms of the negative comments, seems normal to me. Most people that would do that have never built anything - if they had, they certainly wouldn't criticize this design/build.
I would say most of the negative comments are from professionals like myself. We know how warped and twisted this table will be after the exterior grade lumber dries out indoors. I guess if you don't mind the sound of plates clinking and clanking on your warped table surface and the half inch shim underneath one leg to keep the whole table from teeter tottering, it's great!!! I think the other thing that's ticking some people off, is when they go to their local Home Depot and spend $120 on the same materials..
+Dianne Jurgen you can build furniture with exterior grade lumber if you dry it first. I'm not saying it's going to happen right away, it usually takes 2 to 3 years to stabilize. Hopefully you're lucky enough to be buying from the Home Depot that lets their lumber sit around long enough indoors to dry below a 12% moisture level. In that case you would be good to go, so I'm not saying it's impossible, just very unlikely from my experience as a professional cabinetmaker and renovator. I used to build things out of exterior grade lumber as well, and now most of those projects are warped and twisted with cracks and splits.
+Dianne Jurgen if it's the affordability of the 2by lumber that allows you to build projects keep doing it!!! Next time stack your lumber all face to face and get an employee to put some packing straps around the stack. That should pull them tight essentially making one large piece of wood that is less likely to warp when it dries out. Then just bring it into your house to dry for 4-6 months before using it. after you've cut the straps on your dry stack of lumber and build what you want with it it should stay that way forever.
I think you have underestimated how much wood moves with the way you glued the table top.
The video is straight out. Some "DIY" videos show a guy cuting wood with top power tools and a garage full of industrial machinery, then go through some really specialized techniques with more tons of tools, so you ask yourself: DIY really? really? is more like, DYI you experienced expert woodworker workshop owner.
This is a simple tutorial it really is DIY.
The barefooted vids are even better.
Barefoot or socks, if she is doin' the work, then I'm gonna watch!!! :D
What specialized tools? A miter saw, you can go to Home Depot and get them cut if you like. Someone always has to be a negative nelly.
@@kam3410 I think they were saying this video was good. Other videos say DIY but they're using planers, jointers, table saws, and other expensive tools you wouldn't own unless you were heavily into woodworking.
I haven't done word working in a while and you just inspired me. I'm making this a baking table (for breads and stuff) - extended the legs up by 6 1/2" and then a 2x10 top instead of the 1x10.
Thanks for the inspiration and awesome, easy to follow video!
Well looking back this video obviously is not made for Portland, OR - it's almost impossible to find 1x10 boards and 5 inch wood screws are the elusive unicorn around here.
Because of your video I built our farmhouse table in 2016. Its the strongest piece of furniture in our house. I decided to change the color when we painted our kitchen. Still looks amazing. Thank you for this video.
Here's a trick my dad taught me when it comes to distressing wood:
lay a screw on it's side, and hit the threads into the wood with a hammer.
The mark it leaves ends up looking like a worm hole. :)
yea I've seen that and also seen nails used to create old and worn out
Paulina Paulino
Cool idea, your pops is a clever man!!
Different sizes of pieces of chain work well. About three or four links long, lay them on the surface and hit the chain with a hammer. Small chains leaves different marks than larger size chains which leaves a combination of distress marks.
You will no doubt get numerous troll comments from woodworking snobs, but I think that this is an extremely inspirational project. Well done!
The joints of the wood on the top will be problematic down the road... they will collect dirt, debris, food, play-doh, pet hair and lord only knows what else. Trust me, you only make this mistake once. The next table she builds she will either joint the boards to get tight seams, or she will fill the joints. Mark my words.......
At a minimum I would have sealed the raw wood before staining, especially with Pine, this prevents the stain finish from being all blotchy, which it clearly is in this video. This is no trick, its on the back of Minwax Stain can to use Minwax Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner before you apply the stain to seal the wood. I don't know why one would skip this step other than to save a little money or time. It would have turned out much better though had they not skipped this step in Minwax's instructions. Your finish is only as good as your prep work.
Pre-stain works okay, but the main impact on stain (imho) is grain. If you have inconsistent grain on the boards (ie.. one board having linear grain and the other having flat grain) the wood will absorb stain differently. So choose boards with the same pattern on the end grain, or end of the board. Sanding is also something that will help a lot. Start with 80 and work your way up to 120, 150 and 180. this will help keep wood texture more consistent and help with the staining process.
What is wrong with you people, she is making a $50 farmhouse table. They are happy with the outcome, that's all that matters.
+Peter Young I don't see why knowing more about about a particular project is detrimental. Just because its $50 doesn't mean it cant turn out as nice as possible.
Very nice table! Great for beginning wood workers.
Great job! No mindless chit chat , just a straight to the business video which speaks for itself .
I mean what a great video for self sufficiency. The step by step is amazing, I wish there were more like this one.
I'm in love! Oh the table is great too btw 😁
I’ve watched a lot of farmhouse table videos, this is the simplest one yet!!! You just made me very confident that I can do this! Thank you so much!!!
Great video!!! I'm so excited!!! Can't wait to start my new project😀😀😀
Thanks for keeping it so simple with simple tools and we can improvise as we go along also. Beautiful!
I used this plan for a pub style table. It worked great. Mine was 24” wide and 60” long. Thanks for the idea!
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
Great video, I built mine, super easy to follow. Only recommendation would be that it cost me 170 to buy all the supplies, 150 in just wood, deff not just 50
Would you mind sharing what type of wood you used? I want to make this but I need durable wood that can withstand two rough boys and a large dog and not warp like crazy.
That seems to be the case with their videos. The amount doesn’t go with the projects but overall the people still like the idea plus a ton of views
Well the video is from 2016. Price of lumber has been up.
Rustic table nice job from England
Thanks! Hello to England!
Thanks for reply
Excellent I shall try when I get my new house!
I absolutely love how simple and easy to follow your DIY videos are!
Thank you!
I thoroughly enjoy this channel!
I love straight to the point videos
Wow girl ...thats the most simple easy tutorial..ive seen so far...table looks amazing....totally gonna do that.....great job..
Thanks! Good luck with the build!
First, great job you guys, building anything that you love is incredibly rewarding, and it does look good given what you were trying to accomplish. However, give it a year, you'll see why using lumber from the local home center is a terrible idea for a piece like this. Warping and sap are going to be an issue for years to come. It won't happen at first, it takes a bit, but it happens to the best of us. As everyone who knows has already pointed out gluing down the top like that doesn't let the wood expand and contract. You don't fully appreciate what that means until you see the splitting and cracking that happens, and it isn't in some cute "shabby chic" way, it's in a tacky, low quality craftsmanship way. But I'm guessing you guys are pretty new at this, and honestly for a first attempt you did a great job. Experience is the best teacher, and just doing a project like this, with all of it's flaws, gives you a great experience to draw from on your future projects, believe me, I have my own home store wood table on my patio, experience will teach you in the end. Carry on.
Gorgeous!! And the table looks great too!!
beautiful... and the table is hott too.
Like the view from above.
I can't seam to keep my attention on making the table long enough to learn anything. Beautiful video. Didn't think I needed one but now I've got to get me one of those.
I have basically ZERO experience in woodwork and never wanted to have a hammer in my hand. I’m obviously late to all this but this video inspired me to give it a whirl and my wife is elated. I love these videos so much. As others have stated they’re very easy to follow and great on a tighter budget. Thanks so much guys!
Anybody that tells you, you shouldn't use a hammer and nails to make a farm table is a fool, hammer and nails the been used for centuries, in fact my mother had a table that was made in 1803 hammer and nails it works just as good today as it did then, speaking of nails you can also buy reproduction nails from that period online, anyway great video
Drake hammer and nails is up there with the greatest inventions of all time!
Second only to the wheel and fire
Oh Mhe Ghad, if it's sitting outside in the sun, the nails will be "ok" until they rusticise/discolor the wood and eventually pull thru, within 8 years I would guess. This is 2019 and we have better materials available.
@@hrjw ..... fire isnt a Invention.......
Of course.
cool, I like to see women doing things like this...knowledge is power.
It's a shame there was no knowledge that went into building the table.
uh, ok...I didn't expect a bunch of mortise and tenons, but this woman clearly knows how to handle tools...so whatever troll.
justin barrett Chop saw... squeeze trigger, pull down. Nail and hammer. hmmm that is really handling some tools.
justin barrett Look Bub, many are here trying to let idiots like yourself (DIY) not to throw money away on a very poor way of doing something that is going to warp and fall apart in short time. Also, as mention by others, there is no way this project was done under $50. I don't need to waste my time in front of a camera and editing software. There are more than enough really good and knowledgeable woodworkers out there to learn from. You want to come watch her work so you can see her boobs. Just admit it, but quit thinking this was any way proper in making a table.
I'm a seasoned woodworker who just had to sell my equipment during a move. Happy to find this video online actually. And it wasn't a chop saw (whose actual name is a compound miter saw) that I used, it was a circular saw. After having put this project together, I'd say there were only a few tweaks I needed to make - not a fan of finish nails though rink shank would be an easy switch, and understand the purpose. Good design, not perfect and not $50, but nevertheless good. Part of DIY culture is learning and tweaking (which is the purpose of the comment section, just so you know).
So very talented! l love this.
Hardly. It's just tits jiggle.
Love the table. Love that it was built with nails and a hammer. Not all furniture needs to be built to survive a zombie apocalypse. This shows that anybody can do this if they just give it a try.
Haha are you saying a zombie apocalypse is coming!
With the use of that wood glue? That table will survive.
We needed a table. Used this tutorial (great instruction for beginners) to create our family table and benches. Love it!!! Material cost in Hawaii: $240.00
Building this table today, on Long Island this table costs 85 dollars to make not including hardware because I have that stocked. Actually going a bit smaller but keeping the basic principle.
What are the dimensions of your table??..
LOVE THIS TABLE!!! My Wife and I are going to tackle it this weekend. 1 Question though - What kind of wood are you using? Thanks!!!!
Where do you buy all of your materials? I did a calculation of everything from Home Depot and I got almost $100 :(
+Amber Ruiz - We used standard pine lumber from Menards (a midwest hardware store) and it was under $40. There are more expensive lumber options available, and prices vary from hardware store to hardware store.
When I did the calculation at Home Depot. I got under $50
+lnhumane Queen hmm, I'm not sure why but I spent almost $120. I did have to purchase everything, including the stain and polyurethane. Not sure if that was included as the "under $50". Either way, I spent a lot less on materials than I would if I actually bought a table like this at a furniture store (especially in my area of california) it was worth it and super easy.
+Amber Ruiz actually I guess I didn't have all my lumber in my card. You're right $115 at homedepot
Lowes/Home Depot is too expensive for wood. Only go there for 2x4's.
Rockler and Woodcraft are good but pricey. Find a local hardwood dealer. Stay away from companies with "lumber" or "building materials" in the name. Key word to look for is "hardwood".
Wonderful!! I see many DIY videos...you make stuff and explain how to do extremely simple with few tools!! Really great!! Please continue to do!!!
Thanks for watching!
I love your videos. I've seen this video a year ago and am finally going to give it a shot. My wife and I want a larger dining table, mostly for game night, and believe this table would be perfect. I built the headboard you built and it turned out amazing, was easy too. Thanks for difficult looking projects turned easy with your step by step videos and including all materials needed for each project.
Thanks for watching! Glad to hear the headboard turned out well, I'm sure the table will be great as well!
OMG!!!
Where've you been all my TH-cam life!!!? 😱
Haha, we're here now!
Amazing, as usual!
+Mariana Abreu - thank you!
The Rehab Life
id like to see you build a buffet
She can build anything and I will watch
Simple. Straight to the point. Looks awesome. Love it.
I made this table 5 years ago, it's a great and very sturdy design! Love it :)
Oh god, the video is that old already?? Time flies...
Table looks amazing!
Thanks! Love your videos on here as well!
very good job ..... beautiful dog !!....
Me encanto...
The scenery in this video is wonderful.
I really like this table. Simple yet functional. Thanks for the video. I will have to watch it a few more times to make sure I got it. Especially the sanding part.
Great table but what is the name of this song?!
You rock. Love your projects ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!!!
I think the table is really nice but not sure about the $50. When I priced materials at Lowes, it was closer to $100 but still a nice table for that kind of money.
I think they mean the wood
We have a table that we want to refinish, but after watching this, maybe we have a use for some of our scrap wood lying around.... Thanks for posting!
You are simply incredible girl full of positivity and charm.all the best and god bless you.
Gorgeous!!
That table isn't bad, either...
I love what you do with your projects, but I want to hear you talk about your process. The music is distracting to me. I really do love your work though!!!!
I need this audio track in my life.
Sean Davis It sounds like an instrumental version of this: th-cam.com/video/BSDxUVZJwTg/w-d-xo.html lol
Nice little Table to use inside or outside to use when your friend comes over .
Wicked. Thanks for making a step by step video. Xxx love your doggy too!
Cute project! You really can't buy those materials for $50, though. A 1" x 8" x 6 foot pc of ordinary Doug fir is EIGHT FREAKING DOLLARS at the HD nearest me. (Bot some 2 weeks ago and was stunned) You have 1 x 10" which would cost more. And you ought to predrill those 5" screws thru the legs into the lower "I" assembly. And please wear safety glasses working the chop saw to help preserve eyes on the beautiful face! Nice video!
some of us dont live in the middle of nowhere or by places where we can just take precut wood
What is BOT some?
He ware hom skooled.
I say this with all due respect but......There is nothing more sexy than a lady who can use tools and build awesome stuff !!! Way to go !
6:30 best scene.....
..... whoops....
great work!!!
Tradstone701 I would have to agree
I have no idea what shes doing but it looks like she needs to double coat it at the least a couple more coats would do. I would love a video of her just doing that.. LOL
I'm moving, and changing the look of my current pieces to a cottagy, rustic look is to expensive an option. I have nice pieces as it is, all wood. This "The Rehab Life" has saved me. I'm pretty artistic and like to build, so it's perfect for me. One by one, I'm using these easy to follow DIY pearls to change my furniture to what's my new "scheme" of things. Thank you so much and I'll be staying tuned for all of your projects !! RLo
I have made 3 items of yalls now thank you keep it up my wife love's the table and bench
That is rather unique...a grown woman with a calculator watch.
Casio watches from the 80's are back in now. Trendy hipster kids man... I'll tell you hwat.
Nothing wrong with that watch..
Hey I rocked a Casio Calculator watch as a grown woman. It got me so much D I had to take a year off sex for fear my innards were gonna spill out.
Hey Heavydress, Is that why you stopped coming round? Crimeny, me and the crew thought it was us.
+Dances with Stone ;)
lucky guy, gotta smokin hot lady that builds...thats a dream come true
I want to know where these people buy their products because the stain and poly alone cost $25 and even in the damaged section of h.d. I couldn't get enough useful wood to make that for the other $25.
I mean if you're not counting the cost of stain and polyurethane and any of the other extra stuff and just bought wood and glue it could be about 50 bucks. Most people dont have that tho, so it probably an added 100 dollars. But compared to paying 500+ for a table it's not bad.
I made one and it came out great. Now I’m building a bigger one for another property of mine. ❤
That is awesome!
One of their videos motivated me to build a table. The table wasn't professional by any means but it came out cool, I learned a lot, and it gets compliments lol. Knowing what I know now I can build a much better table
