Reclaimed Wood Dining Table Build - With Removable Legs - 100+ year old barn wood

[@Blah-blah-sure]

Just came across this older video. Excellent table build. Ver inspirational ❤

[@ricknolan1215]

Love the character of reclaimed wood... I would have long gated holes on bread boards for expansion.

[@mariarusso7407]

Well done! Thanks for making it look easy!

[@TomStanley-c8i]

I never thought of using ace metal stud as a straight edge I like it brilliant idea that way it can be clamped

[@mianarshed]

excellent. and now this table will serve good for another few decades. Really good use of wood. Best 👍

[@BradyHommel]

Thank you!

[@ReclaimDesign]

You are very right in saying one of the biggest drawbacks is the nails! It's a hell of a process cleaning up reclaimed wood isn't it? I did something very similar for a customer who wanted a large dining table made out of reclaimed roofing rafters from their house renovation. I used z-clips to attach the table top to the apron though to allow for wood movement. Great job on your table Brady.

[@BradyHommel]

I use z clips as well now. This table was done very early off in my woodworking journey when I didn't have a full grasp on wood movement. Thanks for your comment!

@@BradyHommel all good brother 👍 just out of interest is this the table top that shrunk? Reason in asking, I've got a similar project lined up using very old reclaim and in our houses in the UK as you can imagine the heaters on all day and night over winter

Thanks so much!

[@nicholashodson6041]

I've been looking for a "removable legs build" and this looks great. However, I'm also worrying about seasonal expansion...with the aprons attached with pocket holes (I guess I mean along the short sides) how do you allow for expansion? If I used z-clips or similar to attach the apron then that won't be solid enough to allow the chamferd edges on the tops of the legs to "snug down". How did you solve this problem -- or can you convince me that it doesn't need solving? Even the bread-board ends worry me. BTW all this anxiety reflects my lack of experience (like 3 months woodworking)...am I just being paranoid?

[@tro8191]

Bro this is awesome! I been wanting to add some removable legs to a table top I just made. Thanks, gonna follow your lead!

[@BradyHommel]

Thanks! I have a separate video dedicated to removable table legs as well. I go in to way more detail on it. It's one of my newer videos. Check that one out

[@dorivalalves2308]

Parabéns meu irmão!

[@djjinerson]

Instead of using hanger bolts for the laags, you could have used lags to attach the laags😂😂😂😂😂gotta love Wisconsin 👍 love your videos 😊

[@massimozamagni8494]

Spettacolo

[@BradyHommel]

Thanks!

[@maryjaneiro2942]

I love this video so much. all my questions have been answered. however I wondered if I can use this technique if I don't plan on removing the legs, or would you have done anything different. thank you.

[@BradyHommel]

Thank you so much! If you don't need to remove the legs I would use mortise and tenon to connect the legs to the aprons, or pocket hole if that's what you have since it will be hidden anyway

[@thomaswilson9557]

Great video. Beautiful table. What kind of price range would a person sell that for?

[@OnBeaverCreek]

Beautiful table. Great job!

[@BradyHommel]

Thanks a lot. I appreciate that!

[@edselby110]

Great video! Thank you! I guess you don’t need to be concerned about wood movement because the is so old. Is that accurate?

[@victorcharlesholove3643]

Everything I needed. Can you possibly make a reclaimed standup desk? Not anything out there on this I can find. Just the fake stuff out there now. I have some oak barn wood calling from my garage I want the legs to be stable at 42 inches. Thoughts?

[@billbrafford5400]

Nice job. I made one almost identical to that.

[@ronswoodshack]

lol. Decided to come back and douch it up a little bit. 😂

[@BradyHommel]

Lol 😆

[@johnnewton2066]

Brady, I watched your video. Noticed you pocket holes AND glue all across the bread board ends. I would think the top will crack with wood expansion. How did you account for that? A fellow woodworker tring to learn all the time, Newt

[@BradyHommel]

Hey! You are 100% correct. I did not account for wood movement when building this. The breadboard ends are done wrong on this table and would not recommend doing it this way as it's a risk of cracking table as you said. I now do it with a festool domino (floating mortice and tenon) to allow for wood movement.

[@EilandMeisje85]

It took me a minute to realize you were saying legs and not LAGS. But beautiful work.

[@mikep.4809]

Dude, that was Great! I’m in the process of making one for our cottage and I’ve never built one before. It’s gonna be heavy and last for 1,000 years. I picked up some great ideas from your video. Ps, you sound like you’re from jersey... yes?

[@BradyHommel]

You can do it! Good luck on your build man. I just uploaded a separate video going more in depth about doing the removable legs so be sure to check that out! Glad you got some ideas from it! I am from Upstate NY

[@Mannmadewoodcreations]

Great looking table. I am curious, have you have had an issues with splitting with this design? I love pocket holes but, I have heard breadboard ends should be floating so when the main boards expand from humidity changes that have some room to move side to side. I am looking at doing some tables like this and want to know how I should design them.

[@BradyHommel]

Thanks a lot!! I now use mortise and tenon joinery to do breadboard ends. I haven't had a problem using pocket holes but no since I sell this stuff and do it full time professionally I use mortise and tenon so that risk is gone. I use the festool domino to be specific. Hope that helps!

[@Mannmadewoodcreations]

@@BradyHommel Thanks for the feedback. That is the way i was leaning toward doing it too. Takes longer but, lasts longer.

[@Chris-rm4it]

Excellent video! I’m in the planning process of making a similar table with reclaimed wood, but am using old wood flooring planks for the table top (tongue and grove). Aside from gluing and having the pieces attached to the frame, do you think I should I need to somehow screw the planks together or will the glue and frame be support enough? Thanks again for the video-was really helpful!!! (Upstate? Do you consider that north of Syracuse or north of NYC?😊)

[@rickyturrell8778]

Hi lovely table want to make one like it for myself but if you make it for a client what should you charge for the job. Very new to this not made anything yet getting a tools together at the moment. I now have a lot of time on my hands.

[@BradyHommel]

Hi Ricky, That depends on a lot. I'm not sure how easy it is in your area to get 100+ year old barn wood and how much that stuff goes for in your area. I'm from upstate NY and I sold this for $1,000. probably could've gotten a little more though.

[@jeffreyboone4608]

By attaching the apron with pocket screws, you did not allow for expansion of the table top. Did you consider using a loose connection such as clips?

[@mikeandmollyspivey3051]

What are clips?

[@robertcombs4916]

@@mikeandmollyspivey3051 z-clips aka table top fasteners but I don’t believe they would have worked with the removable legs. I actually built a table top the exact same way when I first started with woodworking I pocket holed the breadboards to then pocket holed the base to the top huge huge mistake within 6 months the table top was pretty much completely split form one end to the other in several places I had to pull the top off and make another one and I used z-clips to attach it’s been several years now haven’t had an issue.

[@billbrafford5400]

That is a consideration. I've made two tables similar to this a few years ago. I felt like it would be ok in a stable environment. However, I didn't put on bread boards.

[@billbrafford5400]

Kids haven't had any problems with theirs.

[@nicholashodson6041]

@@robertcombs4916 did you use z-clips along with this removable leg technique? If so is it solid?

[@paulyang748]

I wonder how much you sold it for?

[@scottrobertson9788]

Looks so great, awesome work! Did the legs feel like they had good strength? Looks like a really nice method! Also, how did the joints along the breadboard ends hold up? Inspiring work, cheers for posting!

[@BradyHommel]

Thanks Scott! Yes the legs were surprisingly very strong. I have done this on a number of tables since this video as well and they have all worked great! As far as the breadboard ends I am not sure I sold the table a long time ago but I'm assuming no news is good news. With that being said I no longer do breadboard ends like that tho. I realize it is not the correct way. I connect them the correct way now with my festool domino to all for wood movement. Thanks for the comment!

[@davidwiederkehr5746]

Wow! Awesome table Brady. Would you use that same Minwax finish if the table were to be located outside? Add anything else?

[@BradyHommel]

Hi David, Thanks a lot!! For outside I would use SPAR Urethane. I believe Minwax makes a version of that as well as a bunch of other brands. its oil based urethane and meant for exterior. Hope that helps!!

[@robertmccarthy5059]

Nice table. But, What in the hell are table lags?
