While Jimmy DiResta always makes his builds look easy, this is one that we might actually be able to do. This month Jimmy builds a massive, eleven-foot-plus farmhouse dining table, using a very limited amount of tools. It’s a reminder that you don’t need a fully-outfitted shop in order to build something as huge and sturdy as this.
Jimmy shows us how he handles one of the most important parts on a table of this size--the corner bracing, which needs to be both sturdy and in this case knock-down. And as always the video is sprinkled with helpful tips, including the easiest way in the world to make boards look weathered. (Hint: Get an assist from Mother Nature.)
