I shot this video (and most videos) with a Canon 70D using a Sigma F1.4 30mm Art lens. Shot at 1080p, 29.97fps. I use a Manfrotto Tripod as well as a slider and a stabilizer for handheld shots. This particular video had a lot of shots done as time lapses or handheld video from my iPad and iPhone and I used a Kessler Jib for the shots of the finished table.

A quick note on the end caps. I’m not sure I’d honestly recommend them. The problem is that the wood will shrink and expand more in one direction than the other, which means that while the table top may move a bit in one direction, the end cap, by virtue of being perpendicular to the rest of the top, will move in the other direction. On my table this has resulted in a bit of a lip. Nothing huge, but not what I hoped for. I’d recommend leaving the wood out for several weeks first, or possibly omitting the end cap altogether. Another option is to create an end cap (for the lip) by cutting off 1.5" from the table top and then attaching that to the bottom of the ends - to help match up the skirts. I attached the end caps with glue and brads at first, followed up with some pocket hole screws from the bottom side. If you're just doing the skirt method, then I'd recommend screwing them in from the bottom using 2.5" countersunk screws. The end cap dimensions (as shown in the plans) are 3’6″ W x 3″ H x 1.5″ D. As for the side skirts, it’s just a 2×4 ripped in half and then glued, tacked and screwed onto the table top. I countersunk all of the screws and that one worked out pretty well. The side skirts are 7’9″ W x 1.5″ H x 1.5″ D.

I make a lot of tables using similar techniques. I've devised a system to allow the cross grain to expand and contract freely without the breadboard ends preventing that from happening. It takes a bit more effort but makes for a stable table top. Also, I always put a few coats of poly on the underside to seal the entire table top and limit the wood movement. The diy plans websites don't often factor that stuff in. I love the rough sawn technique. I'll have to use that!

I came across this video when I started researching how to make a dining room table. I have zero carpentry experience so I wanted something easy, this wasn’t as easy as I was looking for but I was up for the challenge. With your instructions and some google research (and a little guidance from the guys at my local Home Depot) I made a version of this table. It’s far from perfect and may not last me forever but it looks amazing and I did it all by myself! Thanks for your tutorial.

This was perfect as a vanity desk for me. kzfaq.infoUgkxMAlHv7-BBWMrPRm5-uEoD6rtdT7SG2Qr Especially the glossy finish. Easy to cleanI was looking for something that wasn't the traditional white and with more of a modern feel. This fit the bill beautifully. I put it together with no problems, by myself in under an hour.Make sure you double check where you place the drawer tracks before screwing down. I had one track that needed to be aligned with different holes than the rest.

A suggestion, when flattening the top, use a straight/flat 2''X4''X5' with 60 grit paper glued-on, just slide this across the table at different angles to high-lite the lows and highs of the top.. I have used this process myself and am very pleased with the out-come...

I ended up using 5-1/4 stock for the top. Then finished the edges and end boards with 1-1/2. A little more expensive but you save a lot of time shaping, sanding and getting edges straight. Plus it has far less inclusions in the wood than 2X stock. Also, make sure you lay table top boards out in opposite ring patterns. This will reduce cupping, warping etc. Will post pictures once it is assembled. Great tutorial! Thank you LRN2DIY!

@BronkBuilt 7 жыл бұрын

Great looking table. I echo the concerns on wook movement. Also, for the cutout on the bottom of the legs you can leave the bottom flat and come back and add small blocks on both sides to create the "cut out". I don't have a bandsaw so that is what I would do.

@LRN2DIY 7 жыл бұрын

Excellent idea on the wood block on the bottom. As for the movement of the wood, it's been a little bit of an issue with this table. I think I'd recommend leaving ends flush cut - no caps on them. You just never know how much movement you'll get otherwise.

@projectpossible70 7 жыл бұрын

Great looking table ..... but with all due respect wood movement is definitely going to be an issue for the top. As far as I know kiln dried construction lumber (please tell me you at least used kiln dried lumber) is dried to 19% (it will show either KD, or KD with a number after it to represent the moisture content), all of that said 19% is still way too high, you want to be in the 10%-12%. Bla bla bla, your table top is basically going to explode. Before i knew any of this I did a how to video on a table made from construction lumber ..... then I learned you really cant do that, so I TOOK IT DOWN. Call me if your interested, I can explain most of what you need to know in about 30 minutes. (831)245-7798

@toyotaspeed90 6 жыл бұрын

LRN2DIY actually you can determine the exact amount of movement - there are expansion rates by wood type available online, and you can calculate how much movement will happen based on humidity swings in your area, type of wood, and size of piece.

@matthewlorfeld5412 6 жыл бұрын

Without caps aren't the boards making up the table top more vulnerable to cupping? I thought that along with wood expansion was the point of breadboard ends...

For those who don't have a bandsaw but a table saw..buy a dado set to make the cut out for the base bottoms...make sure you use your table saw sled ...worked perfect for me..if you don'twant to buy a dado set you can still use your table saw sled to make those cuts ,running your board across the blade..does take time but still works...if you don't have a table saw,use a miter saw saw with stop block..making several cuts then clean it out

Tricky to pull out scratches/dents easier. Just add water. Dab water onto the scratch and either let air dry or heat gun dry. It'll bring the wood grain up and then sand flush. Or use a damp rag and iron. Same deal.
