[@Staceym-z8b]

[@kellynewman862]

Same here!

[@mst5632]

Well, now I’ve seen it all. Tom Silva using a non-Festool electric tool. Never thought I’d see that day. 😂 Congratulations on another great season, ATOH crew. You’re still awesome. Enjoy your time off & summer!

[@orionwarren4244]

Wonderful season! Been a fan since 1978 and if there's one thing I can count on, it's This Old House!

[@kellynewman862]

Ask This Old House, This old House & The New Yankee Workshop are the best!!! Elite top notch craftsman for sure!!!

[@JimDean002]

When I watched you slab the tree I thought we were going to have to wait two years for the bar top :-) looks really good

[@douglascamus8207]

Thanks again, for another great season! I'm looking forward to learning more from you guys!

[@taftamick54]

Best show on TV...

[@tbone587]

Love this show. Watch it every saturday morning from 7-11!

[@age_of_reason]

This is the best DIY show ever.

[@israelgonzalez171]

Been watching your show since I was a kid. On Saturdays after watching cartoons I will jump to channel 50 or 58 to see you guys.

[@derekwagner7162]

I love that they pulled out the wood slab from yesterday

[@Dredpath1]

Would love to kick back and crack a cold one with these guys and just learn from them and hear about all of the jobs they have done!

[@JonnyDIY]

Nice job, but wish spent lil more time explaining that router jig setup. I noticed the slab was shimmed up. Would have liked to see how got it all level and lined up

[@christophermartin7973]

Man I love watching you guys so enjoyable. Thank you for your great work!

[@teeing9355]

Tommy is the man.

[@brentlariviere1272]

The best show and guidance - thanks for everything you do, and another great season

[@brijean5865]

I learned so much from you guys. I've been watching you for years.

[@saanchip305]

This season flew by 👍🏽👍🏽

[@thefrankperspective4247]

KZbin planer sled - complicated and expensive TheOldPlanerSled - no nonsense. Love it

[@mikeclarke3005]

for that edge that had been exposed to some rot I usually treat with a wood hardener like from Varathane or minwax

[@jayhitek]

Mark with the Cloud Candy. Great call Mark!

[@b0wserscastle]

QS red oak - that's beautiful stock.

[@joevaldivia6733]

I have been watching Tom Silva forever and this man is amazing. It would be nice if you showed how you pre drill before you set the screws. It would help the beginner, I already know you pre drill into the wood, especially hard wood. Other then that, good job👍

[@JimDean002]

The main things went pre-drilling are obviously not to go too deep. Wrap a piece of tape around the drill bit to mark the depth if you need to. Also make sure you're centered in the hole and drill the right size hole for the screw you're using. Too small you'll still split the wood too big and it'll wallow out.

[@jimcatanzaro7808]

Tom still killing it

[@richardjohnson8009]

Beer and building, America

[@sleepygrumpy]

Love TOH and Silva but man yall got to get a friend with a planer, yall have a lot of trust in the trueness of that router table

[@elvisfreitas3757]

Great job, everyone!!!!

[@bikeny]

I'm not a builder, so please forgive this question. Am I to understand it that you used the router and went back and forth over the entire top moving it slowly but surely from one side to the other side to ensure that the top was perfectly level? I thought that the planing you did took care of that? Using a sander wasn't an option? Thx.

[@A6Legit]

Hand planes aren't great at getting the whole surface flat like a planer machine. It was likely just used to remove high spots so the board would sit flat. You could skip the hand plane and just use the router if the board sits flat, or shim so it doesn't rock.

[@A6Legit]

Yes, that's how a router sled works. It's nearly impossible to sand a large surface without taking off more or less in certain spots. Sander is for smoothing not flattening

[@ZachAshcraft]

That’s correct -it’s called a router sled. The planer just knocks down big high spots, the router sled makes it perfectly flat, and the sanding just evens and smooths out everything

[@unclebuild8480]

I think Tom and Nathan got the top flat to their satisfaction with the electric planer and belt sander. Then after patching with the epoxy they flipped the plank bottom side up to make the two sides parallel. The router sled is a poor man's thickness planer. Since it is the bottom side it does not have to be as smooth or perfect as the top. The sled has to be made pretty stout to avoid any deflection which would show up on the surface as a divot or high spot.

[@vaughngaminghd]

Congrats on another season "in the can" 😆 TOH crew!

[@glennm449]

Cheers to this old house! 🍻

[@darushimo]

Great timing for me. Thanks!

[@manandatractor]

I can't believe you guys dishonored that beautiful piece of wood with plumbing parts. Taking the easy way out???

[@chrisschiebur6298]

Where did you find the kit for the legs? Looking at making a table myself.

[@brettrudy2245]

I don't meditate. This is my inner peace.

[@jonathanparag6299]

Love this show

[@Dave-kq7gv]

they should've hollowed out a cavity in the center & filled it with lead to make it even more top-heavy 😂🤣

[@JimDean002]

When Sherrie and I bought our house and rebuilt a lot of it, the only thing we subbed out was the granite. Obviously that's a pretty specialized job. The guy I hired said he'd had trouble out of the type of slab that she wanted so he routed a groove in the narrow part in front of the sink and epoxied a steel rod into there. He said he'd been doing that for years on slabs he felt needed it. All I know is it still there and still hasn't moved

[@taysmith2895]

Of all interesting and educational things in this video, and other videos of ATOH, I've been unsuccessfully looking for a supplier who sells eye glasses like those of Tom's. A helpful link would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

[@TR-sk8hf]

you guys ...and girls are awsome,great job.

[@gregs2118]

Another great video.

[@jazzfan7491]

What is that finish? Looks a lot easier than polyurethane

[@DK-pr9ny]

Love the top. Poor choice for legs..

[@jonboy8181]

Looks great! Cheers, guys!

[@justinwoods240]

How come you don’t use hand tools that much. Could of easily used a jointer or a jack plane to flatten that board instead of the electric one

[@montanaspring7176]

love you all

[@A6Legit]

5:58 I would mix the epoxy before adding wood chips.

[@joeivo911]

Congrats!

[@itorIamop]

Great video as always!

[@SalehalOreef]

amazing group ❤️

[@thedon98677]

Is that a ryobi belt sander y’all took the logo off because you’re embarrassed?! Lol

[@RossMalagarie]

they picked the side with a cool looking knot then fill it with sawdust epoxy? If you picked the side with a cool looking knot then why not fill it with a clear expoy so you can actually see the knot?

[@amolochitis30]

Nice !

[@madethehorsecry]

Cheers 🍻

[@justin0114]

How do I apply for renovation opportunities?

[@avalon449]

So why was the name on the red cordless drill covered up with tapa and Tommy’s hand? So obvious.

[@A6Legit]

Probably because they aren't getting money for advertising different brands tools.

[@JimDean002]

Probably the same reason to Ryobi sander had tape over the name

[@edd2771]

I don’t understand why you planed and sanded the top if you were just going to rout it level using a sled. Seems like a waste of effort. Rout first and sand later.

[@davidpearson3304]

I wonder why Heath didn’t get an invite to the final episode. 🤷🏼‍♂️🤔

[@oldtwinsna8347]

How do you he wasn't invited, maybe just have been scheduling. Hard to get everyone together during a weekday filming. These guys run actual companies of their own.

[@bradpaulp]

What the actual what??? For the top, you’re using an electric planer. But for the bottom you used the better method of the router jig. I don’t get it.

[@1wadup]

What’s the name of that green belt sander, I need one of those but the brand is covered with tape!😂😂

[@A6Legit]

Definitely not a Ryobi

[@JimDean002]

I have replied three times with the name of this sander but those keep disappearing mysteriously. Apparently they don't want you to know

[@JimDean002]

I'll give you a hint... starts with an r ends with an I and a lot of people mispronounce it

[@JimDean002]

​@@A6Legityeah, Ryobi 6a corded

[@rd-ch1on]

Every single product used is listed in the description with a link to the product 😂

[@aerial9719]

Should have called Norm he could have cleaned....planed.,... stained and finished...

[@gijoe41688]

what do u use to protect the top?

[@Peregrinewhitesawmill]

Odies oil

[@Panguin14]

Best finish out there.

[@briansworld007]

Love the content, I grew up watching this show!

[@teaglet]

I can never cut a straight line

[@kellynewman862]

Yes you can!

[@stoneybakermd1936]

build it? and they will come....for booze!🤣

[@denniscotey8182]

Looks quarter sawn to me. It looks great but the "iron pipe" base is just cheesey. Over played imo. Beautiful hunk of lumber tho.

[@avalon449]

Jen didn’t get an answer to her question…….

[@A6Legit]

That'd be a "no" 😅

[@snomass1]

😂

[@mikev.1034]

👍🤙🤘

[@nzkshatriya6298]

Guy's any chance of doing a project in San Antonio? Say, renovating my 70s era condo with aluminum wiring?

[@rd-ch1on]

Absolutely

[@johnlebzelter4208]

Troll elsewhere!! I’ve seen your other comments. Your a troll

[@hog8567]

He ruined that bar top. You can see the spiral marks from the router. He even said he wasn't even using a planer bit. That is laziness and poor craftsmanship......ESPECIALLY from him. I've been watching TOH for 30 years and I'm disappointed to see this poor quality.

[@par32]

It’s the bottom..

[@javiergalvan2604]

Another great video guys, never seem to impress me! Remain blessed and keep the video's coming ☝️ 😊👍🫵

[@Mr.Seebs.]

Cheers 🍻
