I love the finial look, but I have one thing I want to suggest. Because you used real hardwood, You should consider the wood movement. Instead of drilling screws directly to the tabletop, use tabletop fasteners such as figure 8 or z clips. Anyway, the table is gorgeous❤

Very nice work Andrea. Hope you won’t mind some tips from an old timer. Using pocket screws on your panel glue ups isn’t necessary, in fact they really do not add any strength to the joint. The glue itself will be stronger then the wood. When clamping up a panel like that use an odd number of clamps and alternate them top and bottom, gives more even pressure to the joint. To help keep the top flat during glue up use clamping cauls across the boards. These are boards with a slight crown that will help keep all the boards flat. When attaching end grain to long grain with screws, don’t bother with glue. End grain to long grain glue joints are too weak to hold. One last point. I’m glad that you understand and respect the potential for danger a table saw represents, but it is even more dangerous to be fearful and hesitant when working with one. Control the tool, don’t let it control you. Again, beautiful table. That finish on the white oak is awesome! 🙏🏻

If you don't mind a little more advice from another old timer. Please make safety your #1 priority. Gloves around spinning, cutting things are a definite no-no. If that blade catches a bit of your glove, it will pull your hand into the sharp bits and your hand is not going to have a good day. Also, please get or make a proper push stick. The piece of wood you were using gave you no control of the work piece.

@garybecker4490 Жыл бұрын

Nice work. I agree with the above and below. Buy a couple of grippers, a dowel jig for alignment and connections, and some clamping squares. Also chamfer or roundover the leg bottoms so they dont tear.

@rhound50 Жыл бұрын

Pocket holes get a bad rap IMO they are quite good for some things especially when they can be totally hidden. I liked to use them on face frames because no one ever sees the back. That said for looks I thinks its a good idea to avoid pocket screws in visible locations. Dowling jigs are a good choice IMO, they are inexpensive and for panel glue ups they are hidden and they take some of the pain out of trying to allign the boards when clamping.

@funpupps Жыл бұрын

Great work. I would like to suggest using a Gripper when passing the work through the table saw. That allows downward pressure and keeps the wood on the fence. One last suggestion. Would love it if your hubby talked less. Not entertaining at all.

@stefaniasantoro2863 Жыл бұрын

Very great tips in the comment section! If I may, I would also suggest to put your hair up and away from the drill, I was genuinely scared it might catch in the rotating part as you were drilling the pocket holes! It hurts and you might end up with some pretty messy hairdo

I'm a mom of 3 small kids who also learned design and woodworking, I wanted to tell you how much I enjoy this channel. Andrea's creations are lovely, but more so, her vision and persistence to see projects through. As someone who works alone and with limited time, I highly recommend building a quick table saw cart with locking wheels. The outfeed table can be your miter station. This will greatly increase safety and stability of cuts. Also, a couple face clamps could really help with making sure those board edges line up. When I use pocket holes, I always put some fairly close to the edge because boards will want to move during the glue up. A hand plane could also help.

@makosharksimmo8124 Жыл бұрын

Invest in a dowel jig for attaching legs to rails, that will help move to next level (also can be used to join tabletop). Jessem makes a good one. Also make yourself an assembly table, will eliminate having to work on concrete slab. When you work on the concrete slab the lumber will pick up stone indentations. Best of luck

This table arrived well packaged and on time. kzfaq.infoUgkxn94T8Mu1iMnsLCMNOI9srXSsLkI4JXKW Like another reviewer advised, I pulled everything out and made sure everything was included (everything was!). I built it alone and it took me about an hour. The color is great and for the price the lift part works well. As others have mentioned, it’s not the smoothest opening/closing, but it works. The screws do show, but I plan to order white sticker covers if that bothers us too much. Really happy with this table! UPDATE: it’s been over a year since we got this coffee table and we still love it! It gets HEAVY use as our dining table, foot rest, and school desk. Over time, the opening and closing mechanism has gotten smoother. I added a new photo with the white screw cover stickers. They blend in perfectly and make it look a little cleaner. 100% recommend!!!

@amaiaamaiaa Жыл бұрын

looks great andrea! for reference though, you can take off the plastic guard and anti-kickback pawls, but still leave on the riving knife on the table saw. The riving knife can be set to be the same height as the blade so that you can make non-through cuts with it. That's REALLY important to keep on the saw, to protect from pinching and binding which can and does lead to kickback. It was good to see you standing to the side though! the binding you experienced was probably due to the lack of riving knife.

Hi Andrea, I just found your KZfaq channel and I love a woman that loves to work with wood and has a husband that supports her and doesn't mind letting her take the lead. You work simple and show what you do and don't try to make things complicated. I also like the fact that you show your mistakes that a lot of men on KZfaq don't show. I guess it's an ego thing. But nobody is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes or boo boo's on every job or project. You give others inspiration to tackle projects they normally would be afraid to tackle. I've been woodworking for quite a few years. I'm now retired and have plenty of time to play in my shop. I noticed you had a problem with staining the pine boards for your coffee table. Pine can be unforgiving when it comes to stain. Blotching is almost a given especially with any pine. Before staining any pine always use "Minwax Pre-Stain" on the wood and wait for about 20 minutes or so before applying the stain. Just wet a rag and rub it on covering the entire wood surface. The pre-stain will give you a more even stain look without the blotching. I use it on all wood. Especially all soft woods. I really enjoy watching you two work together. Keep up the good work and I'll be waiting on your next video.

You don't need to use screws because the glue is strong enough, but if you use screws don't insert them until the glue is dry because the pieces will move. For cutting legs use a stop block on the mitersaw fence. always start aplying finish with the bottom of the table and turn it over after. Nice result!

It turned out pretty good considering the building conditions and tools. Pocket screws are totally unnecessary for the table top. Just glue would have been enough. Using biscuits or some sort of aligning tool would help a lot with the assembly of that top. And in the worst case, align the board seams with a rubber hammer or some extra clamps on the sides where the boards meet so that all the boards are on the same level. For staining the legs, just flip the table over. Simple but so much easier on the back. And change the screws to attach the top to the bottom. Like suggested by other people. figure 8, z clips, wood blocks and sleeves in the base or just elongate the existing holes in the legs so the screws can travel sideways with the wood movement. If you don't, it'll almost certainly crack your top one day. And that would be a shame with the expensive wood prices these days. Next challenge, try some simple wood joinery. 😉Nice to see you level up on every project.
