Build a Dining Table From Old Train Sleepers Wood: Skills Woodworking & Recycled Old Wood Shipwreck

[@MN-pu6qx]

The table looks amazing; but even more amazing is that the workers have all ten fingers - and ten toes!!!

[@dannyhughes4889]

I guess when their lungs give out from exposure to dust and finishing materials they get discarded and no one counts how many toes, eyes, fingers they have and checks if they hear well or not.

[@dannyhughes4889]

@@richardbrophy4120 I work around Philippine foreign workers daily and you are right...hard working, dedicated and don't moan about their lot in life far from family etc.. Here we make sure safety matters are taken care as they should be. Safety gear provided by employers shows respect for the worker ...and makes good business sense.

[@token6577]

I bought this as a gift for my friend kzbin.infoUgkxcZqgZ8Ynkiz5n_LxIWRlAicuzmz5kCHG who is just starting out in the world of wood work. He loves it!! There is a great section on different wood and what to use for what kind of job and a similar section for tools as well. The projects in it are things you probably would have a go at with clear instructions, pictures, videos and diagrams throughout. Great for a beginner/amateur wood worker.

[@josephmarino3045]

Made from recycled/reclaimed wood. If the wood could only tell the tales of its life on the sea. The hard life that the wood endured has become the beauty of the table.

[@davearonow65]

How is it going to tell tales of its life at sea? The wood, at sea, wasn't alive. It died when they cut the tree down.

[@jamesweeg6545]

Using the angle iron at a 45 degree angle to prevent warping is a genius idea!

[@ibgeorgeb]

Thank you for the explanation. I was wondering why he drove a piece of metal into the table..

[@jamesweeg6545]

@@ibgeorgeb A lot of craftsmen will use C-Channel metal that you then have to router into the base of the table. It is fairly complicated and will look bad if not done accurately…so the idea of using the kerf of your saw blade at 45-degrees and inserting the angle iron is a great time saving idea.

[@andresitomagpatoc9966]

[@rozkolec]

A beautiful table, but it is not made of old railway sleepers but of wood obtained from the dismantling of old wooden ships. The holes visible in the boards are left by the screws connecting the hull planks with the frames, there are also visible holes left by snails, known as shipworms, which are eating wood submerged in seawater. Kudos to the carpenters :-)

[@claytonsimplot9554]

Is the wood treated? The train track ties here are treated with creosote. They wouldn't be safe to use at all. They must be from something else. Maybe ship docks or something with boats. There was boats and docks at the used lumber yard.

[@gerhardcronje9678]

Well done guys end product looks fantastic.

[@chrispy1965]

This is wood from one of these demolishd ships.

I’ve spent allot of time in south east Asia, mainly Thailand and their talent for turning what we consider junk into everyday useful items never ceases to amaze me , even the tools they use are pretty basic or repurposed from recycled machines.
