Removable Table Legs Made Easy - How to make Removable Table Legs - Detailed Tutorial

[@anggeliqirodriguez3715]

Finally someone who understand that we need to dismantle furniture

[@BradyHommel]

I've moved enough furniture... anything 30" or taller needs to have removable legs lol.

[@everetttracey1419]

Thanks. Very informative. Am building a table for my niece made with six different kinds of wood that is going to Montgomery Alabama in her new house. I am sure she will love it especially after it will have those beautiful removable legs! I am very appreciative of you sharing your knowledge. Have a great day.

[@BradyHommel]

Sounds great! Glad you found the video helpful! Thank you for the comment

[@treelimb2878]

Thanks for posting - I appreciate you taking the time to explain the process.

[@BradyHommel]

Glad you liked it! Thanks

[@bennyhalftail]

Wow..thanks so much for explaining each step..I've had to piece together different videos to figure out this process, but you nailed it all in one concise video. Keep the videos coming!

Who liked the sound of the nail entering the wood at 3.34 😁? This is one of the things I enjoy while working with wood 😍

[@normancharles2523]

lovely work, I was wondering how to go about this...

[@edge8edge]

Thank you Brady and good timing on your video. A few weeks ago I found and old table. Actually found it near the Ohio River. Someone dumped it. 48in x 30in. Hard wood top. Possibly oak or walnut. Has an old black finish or paint so not sure. I'm not a wood guy really but know enough to probably get this back in service. The legs were the wooden farmhouse style. Only one leg was intact and rest were missing all but their tops. That portion was still bolted to the hanger bolts. It has the same method of attachment as you showed on yours minus the Z clips. Just the two hanger bolts per leg. Apron is about 2.75in tall. It's a neat old top and I want to do something with it. Might sand it down and add new legs. Make a shop type table perhaps. Thank you for showing me how those hanger bolts (lag) screwed into the legs. I knew there had to be a way but it was puzzling. I get it now and the two bolt method for tightening is so obvious in hindsight. I think it has all the hanger bolts too but if not I'll get them from your link. If you don't mind what did you use to place on the feet for the legs? I see they raised off the floor slightly. So it appeared. I might use the same kind of squared post legs so I might match to what you have for feet. Thanks again for sharing and you did a really good job with explaining.

[@lifewater989]

Thank you. It looks like very easy method that I will be doing on my project.

[@glennlindsay6350]

Thanks. Just completed this to use as a desk for my son. Only thing I would add is the holes to drill through the braces would be much better with a drill press. My problem is I don't have one. It's hard to control the drill, especially to go perfectly straight. But, my project turned out great thanks to your video. Thanks again.

[@JamesHAnderson-xg1qt]

Thank you for posting this video! I used it to make a computer table. This is the first "real" piece of furniture I ever made (other than a couple of slapdash book cases) and it turned out really nicely. It was especially helpful to link in the exact parts that are needed to attach everything.

[@large_eddy]

Nice. I am planning on making a 5 x 5 gaming table soon and I need to detach the legs to put the table away when not in use. This will be perfect.

[@lovingmymelanin5214]

Great video! I would like to know how to revive a rotted wood top table.? Should I save it or trash it? Thanks in advance!

[@lynnh3710]

Great video, you really helped educate me on something I needed help with. Thank you.

[@BradyHommel]

you're welcome. Glad to hear it!

[@garyleefishman1654]

thank you. very helpful and entertaining.

[@BradyHommel]

Appreciate the comment. Thank you!

[@MrTx18366]

Thanks for this video, we were disassembling our table built like this and weren't sure how to do it. 👍

[@BradyHommel]

Glad it helped man!

[@williesmith1828]

Such a huge help. This will be my first time and I’ve been looking for a good video with concise instructions. Thanks for making this video. I really like the “clean hole on both sides” tip

[@redribbonshoe]

Thank you ever so much for this video! Believe it or not, but I was looking for exactly this way of making legs removable. We had it in our table in 80-ties/90-ties in communist Poland!! I wanted to buy a nice (!) table with removable legs, googled and browsed for the last two hours on Austrian, German (I live in Vienna, Austria now) and Polish websites - NOTHING! I finally tried on youtube with an English phrase "removable legs". And I found your video - thank you!!

[@BradyHommel]

Glad it help! Thanks for your comment!

[@jimssawsnstuff8903]

Thanks, will try this tomorrow for the harvest table I'm building for my wife and I. 😎👍

[@BradyHommel]

Your welcome!

[@mickeyj07]

Cheers Brady! That is exactly what I need to do. Looks pretty simple and explained really well. Legend!!

[@Mudpie321]

This was so helpful, thank you

[@BradyHommel]

Glad to hear that! Thanks for the comment.

[@HarlyGuy13]

I’m enjoying the hell out of your videos. Thanks for sharing!

[@Ghosterock]

Damn that’s awesome nice I have a table that was given to me but the legs are damaged at the bottom if you have any loose ones around that you don’t need please send them to me please 🙏 you are awesomely great love your work bye now keep doing your best so long my friend thanks

[@soldonresale3143]

Thank you very much! I've been making tables and selling them on Facebook marketplace. This will help my tables look much more professional!

[@soldonresale3143]

You may want to update your affiliate links though. The exact same bolts are cheaper and arrive with prime in other listings.

[@BradyHommel]

Glad it was helpful! And thanks for letting me know about the affiliate links. Amazon always changes them. I will update them. Thank you!

[@doublebladeprojects8849]

Verry good .. I actually searching how to make a removable table legs..

[@KrisTheSpecialist]

Awesome! Thanks for the video!

[@seventwenty4569]

Great video, thank you! From your experience - do you think the threaded inserts will work the same or the hanger bolts are better?

[@timalban1433]

This is perfect. I'm making my first table and screwed up one leg trying to figure out how to get a stronger hold. Part of the problem is the wood is super dry redwood so it's pretty brittle but this is will be what I need.

[@dukeellington1987]

Simple and strong! Thanks for the helpful video

[@BradyHommel]

Thanks for watching!

[@za9036]

Does this affect how much weight the table can hold? Like if the apron isnt attached to the leg by mortise and tenon is it weaker?

[@jayaustex]

Great video and really good information. Thank you! Jay

[@TheZurto]

Thanks for the helpful video!! I plan to make a gaming table in the coming months and this will be a huge help!

[@BradyHommel]

Awesome! Glad to hear that! It's a great easy way for removable legs. Good luck on your build!

[@nfritch98]

First time woodworker, never heard of a hanger bolt until today. Would I be able to take these out eventually if I wanted? (not using the C8 glue you mentioned)

[@BradyHommel]

yes no problem. They will come out

[@Hapotecario]

Hello! Awesome work. I am doing this table now. How did you make the bevels on the table legs? I wanted to do some kind of transition. The only way i imagine I can do them is to improvise a cut with the router but I am not sure how. Thank you so much anyway!

[@melanietavan1011]

What is your shipping method? I only have customers pick up local. I'm outside New Orleans.

[@JR-mq2mv]

Hey Brady…..very fine work indeed. Just wondering if you’d recommend putting the table leg on a table saw, setting the blade to a 45*. Making a run of 3 inches and finally cutting the 3 inch piece off with a coping saw or a jack saw? Also, what size chamfer bit are you using, I only have a 1/4” right now.

[@UncleIvan1]

time to build a table :) thank you sir

[@MiguelRivera-ud1oj]

I had trouble with a PED leg table that had a screwable leg but was why the table leg continued to break and fall off with I would have put bolts on the axle to make it big then add washers on the bottom bolt to screw in bolts from the side to see if it would hold

[@caitlynmartin2009]

what glue did you use for the aprons ?

[@snteevveetns]

Great video

[@BradyHommel]

Thank you!

[@juangallera]

Thanks!

[@Brokenstick]

Really like this video and how you explained it. I'm putting a table together and prefer a cleaner look of legs without any braces between them. Using your method, how sturdy is the table? Is there any wobble using the hanger bolt method you've shown?

[@Ace-ig6vs]

Nice work man! You definitely have to get yourself a drill press. A big one and a bench top. I know it's easier said than done, but you'll wonder how you ever got by without one.

[@BradyHommel]

Thanks! I have since got a bench top one! I don't use it a ton but when I need it it's definetly nice to have!

[@Ace-ig6vs]

@Brady Hommel One more quick question. Do you give your customers a buyer beware type disclaimer on products for things like cupping, warping, shrinkage, cracking, etc? I'm getting into the business and I'm wondering if I should do the same.

[@soyythomas]

Hi, Will thr threaded rod with epoxy work the same way as hanger bolt? Newbie from India! I could not find bolts in India. Your response is appreciated.

[@walterrafaelchavez9945]

Good job …

[@BradyHommel]

Thank you!

[@hrdcpy]

I'm torn between threaded inserts and hanger bolts. It's for a tabletop so I'm thinking inserts since the material is fiberboard and I don't want bolts sticking out if I ever have to move it.

[@brettjohnson3247]

On the slot what it the measurement to make that using your hardware

[@TannerLeeOfficial]

Aaayyyeeee! IOOOOWWWWAAAAA!!!

[@jonwalwick2517]

Did you glue the skirts and use the L brackets?

[@hn5312]

How are you shipping? Do you have a preferred carrier?

[@BradyHommel]

This one I believe was fedex. I have also done larger pieces of furniture with fedex freight. I don't really have a preferred carrier. Either way they don't give a flying shit about your package so just make sure you package and protect whatever your shipping to the best you can.

[@hn5312]

@@BradyHommel The cost kills my pricing. I ended up renting a U-haul trailer last summer and meeting a customer from Virginia in Nashville. At the time my shop was in Phoenix. Needless to say, I lost my ass. I'm going to ship a bench to match his table, in a few days, and I'm desperately seeking the best advice for shipping. Thanks for the response.. @Sjuniquedesigns

[@hn5312]

@@BradyHommel BTW I was scoping out how to add the brackets. Great job thanks for a few tips I didn't know.

[@johnnytieszen]

Question how do you stay warm when truck camping me and my girlfriend want to try it

[@BradyHommel]

Hey Johnny, A good mummy sleeping bag is a must... I have one rated for -20 degrees Fahrenheit... I also put reflectix insulation to cover the side windows... I also have a Mr buddy propane heater that I turn on before bed... I DO NOT leave it on all night. I dont trust the Co2 shutoff. but its enough to get it toasty warm before bed and body heat in the mummy bag does the rest!

Where did you get the lag studs?

Amazon. I have a link in the description

[@housesforsale6892]

Bad design. the legs always come loose after awhile

[@emc_squar3479]

You didn't come up with it. Ashley furniture tables are built exactly the same since 1970.

No gaps in the apron!cause that would look like complete shit soo.. 🤣☠️
