Best trestle table video. Technique, dimensions, etc. Same type table that I want. Question about the upright/horizontal support members glueup. Is the upright piece allowed to expand and contract across the grain? An assembly similar to breadboard ends might be better. Elongated holes through the tenon for the two outside dowels. Glue only the center few inches. Also a shopmade breadboard end jig to route the tenon.
@hillbillychic3933Күн бұрын
Looking back at the video the tenons were somewhat loose fitting but I did not take that into account. I think I probably got lucky and since I made this during the summer the fit would only get looser as the humidity drops. I also don't think I oversized the hole on the tenons to allow for expansion. Live and learn.. The table is holding up well but I do wish I had painted the upright red oak pieces black. I'm not really liking the pinkish hue that the red oak has.

That is gorgeous! All of it, I love the mid century with the joinery, the contrast of walnut and cherry is beautiful with the stunning taper… all of it I’m in love and might have to borrow this as inspiration! One minor change and just because I’m obsessed and tried it for myself is rather than epoxy and black pigment I’d use real copper or brass powder mixed into the epoxy for the hole fills! I don’t know why but there’s something so natural and raw about it. I did learn from using copper powder/epoxy musekf is make that mixture thick like peanut butter with brass/copper being a little more than half to epoxy ratio or till peanut butter consistency and then tape over the show face and flip it so gravity pulls that heavy metal powder up to the surface! Anyways, absolutely high quality and a generational piece

Thank you! I have grown to dislike the legs on this table. I should've tucked them in from the top but they are even with it. I was going to fix it in a video but my wife likes it as is and took it away. I have used copper and brass powder in the past. The copper just looks pink and the brass looked alright. For the right project I would try the brass powder again but don't think I would do the copper again. Thanks for watching!

That's funn! Had a less than brave manly man moment of my own. Somehow a chipmunk got into the house and I tracked it down to the refrigerator. I got down to take a look under right when it decided to leap out from underneath. Right at my face... My wife claims there was a very high-pitched squeal that came from me and loves to repeat her version of the sound multiple times a year whenever this type subject comes up. Fortunately, no video exists. P.S.- I'm pretty sure I could have taken the critter if things got physical. Not 100% but close. Oh yeah, nice looking cherry.

I think you mean a live edge appearance? I have seen this done with a 4" grinder with a flap wheel sanding disc. I have never done this myself since I have plenty of live edge pieces of wood. If you draw a semi straight line along a board and then using a jig saw with the blade tilted to 45 degrees cut along that line. Then use a grinder with a flap disc to smooth it out. That may be the look you are going for.

How long does it take to dry each load
@hillbillychic39332 ай бұрын
Because I mostly air dry below 20% and keep the loads fairly small it takes a couple of weeks in the summer and up to a month in the winter. There are many factors to it as well. Species of wood, walnut dries a lot faster than White Oak, sunny days versus cloudy days but 1 to 2 weeks is a ballpark answer.

@neilrabb70382 ай бұрын
What grit did you sand the white oak to before applying the Osmo? I am having a desk built and applied it at 80 grit and it did amber the wood a bit. Wondering if getting up to 220 or 320 would help it not absorb so much and leave it more natural like your piece. Thanks!
@hillbillychic39332 ай бұрын
I will always go up to 180 or 220. Make sure you stir it well since the white pigment that neutralizes the amber glow might all be sitting at the bottom. Hope this helps.

Water based works much better than people typically admit, and it has the benefit of less burning the eyes, lungs, and wear on skin compated to oil based finish.
