Build a Farmhouse Dining Table - Part Two

[@woodscrew5612]

Using the cleaner is definitely a plus. Sharp chisel and a clean table!

[@DIYwithRick]

haha yeah man! just caught one of your vids and sub'd, keep up the good work!

[@woodscrew5612]

[@DIYwithRick]

[@SavioColacoPhotos]

i feel so productive watching your videos Rick

[@reddragon9460]

I learned so much watching your video for beginners, awesome job thank you

[@patrickinottawa27]

Awesome job. First, the 45 degree chamfer on the legs. Router with a chamfer bit. But using a power tool in pine is over kill and it's noisy and that can add to the stress level. More enjoyable way is to mark lines on both sides of the post, which you wish to cut back to. Then using a good saw make the cut. A good saw is one that you enjoy using. I just bought a $18 Irwin Tools pull saw, ultra thin kerf, and flies through rock maple with ease, leaving a very fine cut. Then pare with your chisels, bevel down thru the curve. What's missing from the video ? A couple of comments have asked about your stain and finish choice. I would like to know, that looks to be a gorgeous table.

You say you are not a professional... What I see is business opportunity! The table came out amazing and if you had a lathe I bet you could make those legs by your self too!

[@woodscrew5612]

Looks great. Tables are fun!!

[@DIYwithRick]

[@mishalnasser8188]

what kind of stain did you use.. It looks very pretty

[@lukemagee462]

great build Rick. the chiselling looked fine to me. supposed you could have used a belt sander? keep up the great work!

[@DIYwithRick]

Thanks Luke!

[@joshthian]

Hello! What do you call those legs that you used at 7:40 to hold the table? Thanks!

[@kylescott6225]

I did our dining table, with different leg design. Trussel legs, so i did threaded inserts. Really hard to do with soft wood. Wood glue was needed to to keep insert from backing out after applying the bolt

[@drscott333]

I see someone mentioned it, but I would definitely get a router. You can get a decent one and a variety of bits without breaking the bank. In most cases, your infamous .45 Special will do just fine, but routers are quick and easy once you get the hang of it and offer a wide variety of edge designs.

[@andrewroberts8217]

good job

[@DIYwithRick]

thanks andrew!

[@MakingStuffco]

Nice work, what did you use for finishing ?

[@DIYwithRick]

Thanks! I used Minwax Polyshades. It was a HUGE mistake. It just wouldn't go on evenly. I even used wood conditioner prior to the application! I ended up sanding it down, re-applying the stain and then applying a few coats of semi-gloss polycrylic. I think it turned out really nice in the end but blotchier than I would have liked!

[@MakingStuffco]

DIYwithRick it looks very nice man.

[@DIYwithRick]

appreciate you saying so man!

[@chasefouse684]

Did you just randomly think about using the socket and 2 nuts? because that is genius!

[@DIYwithRick]

Haha no...I read it on the Rockler comments section. That place is a GOLD MINE of knowledge!

[@katherineallen4387]

FREAKIN AWESOME RICK....CHEESE BURGER FRENCH FRIES DUDE I JUST LOVE YOU

[@howardhagadorn9443]

Not bad kid

[@ftho1986]

You could try aan router to knock off the corners of the legs

[@DIYwithRick]

Great tip Frederik! Next time I'll be using a router!

[@DebR57]

nice

[@paulasmith1700]

you are so funny!!!

[@DIYwithRick]

thanks paula!

[@xSLWRTHNUx]

I'm even less of a pro but if I were to make those cut-outs on the legs, I would use a belt sander to get the majority of the wood out of the way, then hand sander to clean it up. Might be more work but I'm god-awful with a chisel so I try to avoid it at all costs.

[@DIYwithRick]

Belt sander...hmm! Hadn't thought of that...probably because I don't have one!

[@cathlynmaldonado5188]

I want to build own table but seems like I need more tools than I thought I would 😔

[@matroebuck7702]

definitely use a router perfect for that job !

[@DIYwithRick]

I think 2017 may be year of the router for me!

[@kylescott6225]
