Console Table Build

This console table build was made with 8/4 (1.5") think white oak. I tried 6 different rubio monocoat finishes and eventually decided on "Aqua"

Very nice, a fine eye to craftsmanship detail. Been thinking about a project like you did, but lacking tools to do it and getting older lacking the drive skill makes it just a dream that passed, but enjoyed your demonstration and command of a special skill set, congrats to you 👌👍👍👍,

Can you please share info on your foldout work table? Love that!

[@WhiteKnuckleWoodworking-wh6wz]

That's called a centipede by Bora. A few people have asked me about it. It's very convenient. You can get it in a few different sizes but here is an affiliate link to the one you see in the video. amzn.to/3QqmIlI Here is a link to the tops that I have. The dog holes really come in handy for sanding and clamping but you can just put a piece of plywood on top and drill your own dog holes if you wanted. amzn.to/3qdsY5A

[@johnathantaylor3199]

Note: I have the bora setup. It is fantastic. It's very portable (pack in car) and comes in several configurations. I'm 5'10" and recommend the 36" height version. It's perfect for me. As far as the foldout table is concerned, I initially bought the standard 3/4" hole version. As I purchased more TSO and Festool items (bench dogs and clamps), it became necessary to purchase the metric 20mm hole version.

[@reaper060670]

tHIS IS A STUNNING PIECE MY FRIEND. sALUTE TO U FOR THE GREAT WORK. wHAT IS THIS BLUE COLOUR OIL BASED STAIN U USED? i DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS WHICH IS WHY i'M ASKING?? It makes the whole unit look so good bro.. Keep up the awesome work..

[@WhiteKnuckleWoodworking-wh6wz]

Thank you! The finish is rudio mono coat aqua color. I have a link to it in the description. I normally don't like pigments but for this one I'm really happy with what I chose. It's so easy to use too! If you are unfamiliar with rubio monocoat, there are a lot of hreat videos out there about it.

[@azizoulhiyane9221]

Hello, excuse me for my english, I'm french. You made a great job and it's inspiring me thank's ! I'm looking for the name of the "workbench" you are using at 1:08. I don't know the name and it looks like very usefull. Thank you

[@WhiteKnuckleWoodworking-wh6wz]

Hello. It's called a centipede by Bora. It can be very useful. The make them in a few different sizes. For the top, you can just use plywood but in the video I'm using a foldable top with dog holes that's also made by Bora. And your English is great!

[@richardwhite4277]

show the updated version with the fewest steps and parts !!! that will make people buy your plans

[@boaskraak6053]

You should add a giant red arrow in the thumbnail

[@justinsmith4344]

What did you use for the drawer boxes? Did you just have lengths of you had already cut a dado in or did you purchase it like that? Seems like a great time-saver.

[@WhiteKnuckleWoodworking-wh6wz]

One of the local wood spots here has pre-made drawer sides. They come prefinished with dados. Save a ton of time. They sell them in various widths. Ths ones in the video are 4". I think it cost about $15 for an 8' length

[@joeyclutch2675]

Enjoyed the video and great build! unfortunately you allowed no room for wood expansion/ contraction by driving in pocket holes along the entire width which will result in cracking when the season changes!

[@WhiteKnuckleWoodworking-wh6wz]

Thanks for the feedback. What would you have done differently? Should I have avoided plywood and used glue instead of pocket holes?

[@k1sfd1974]

The wood will expand front to back (not left to right), so the back is fine, but the angle aluminum you used and the drawer dividers could be an issue. For the aluminum, just leave oblong slots ( say 4mm off center both ways or 1/8”) and it’ll be fine there. For the drawer dividers, I would have used a sliding dovetail. Now the real issue is; since this is an indoor piece, will it really change that much over the seasons? That depends on the climate you like to keep in your home and the general climate of the area in which you live. If you run a central AC during the summer and live in a non-humid area, it’s probably not that big of a deal. Jonathan Katz-Moses did a great YT video on wood expansion; I highly recommend it.

[@jasonj6568]

@@WhiteKnuckleWoodworking-wh6wzI wouldn’t sweat it too much. It’s indoors, you have miter folds. Those miter folds if they move it will show there. So shoring it up might help actually in that sense. Properly acclimated planks won’t have as much tension, hence movement, as a slab. Part of a reason you would cut a slab that seems to want to never stay flat. Maybe having a hole oversized will allow just enough. I didn’t see glue on the dividers and just pocket holes. Worst case is you could loosen then if you see a move,ent condition, but again, the miter folds I would protect more over a drawer looking a small bit off. The other commenter is correct on the movement direction. However YT tends to get people panicking over any perceived missed step that any creator has done previously. More important this is your piece and looks awesome and I am glad the algorithm landed me here!

[@Waxy613]

[@WhiteKnuckleWoodworking-wh6wz]

Rubio monocoat aqua. I have a link in the description. Great stuff and easy to use.

What is the name of your folding work table?

[@WhiteKnuckleWoodworking-wh6wz]

It's called a centipede by Bora. I believe I have a link to it in the description. Be sure to check out the different table tops that you can get for it. But you could also just use the sheet of plywood. I like the foldable sections that have dog holes in them

@@WhiteKnuckleWoodworking-wh6wz Definitely! Our DOVOH laser level is perfect for tasks like cabinet building. It offers precise measurements and easy alignment. Interested in trying it out? Let me know if you'd like more details! 😊🔧

[@sfwoodwork2992]

The conventional wisdom is that the glue line is stronger than the wood itself, so why waste the dominoes? If it's just for alignment than cheap biscuits will do.

[@WhiteKnuckleWoodworking-wh6wz]

In my experience the biscuits have a lot more slop in them. So for the panels, it would result in more sanding. It's a very heavy piece so I was less confident in the strength of the mitered corners, so I felt better about Dominos in that area. I also just like the ease and accuracy of the domino. I know it's a polarizing tool but I really like it. You can almost dry fit an entire project just held together with dominos, which is a big plus in my opinion.

[@richardwhite4277]

not to start a stink (well yes I am) but if you tried to deconstruct this and try to fix (impossible) old dovetails and tongue and groove and many (real carpentry joints) can be taken apart and fixed / this can not

[@WhiteKnuckleWoodworking-wh6wz]

Good thing I have no plans on taking it apart. "Real carpentry" joints are great and I have respect for people that use them, but that's not practical for my purposes and not the point of this video. Perhaps a future video when I live off the grid with no electricity. A long time from now when I've retired from my day job and need to fill my days, distracting me from the ticking clock of the inevitable.

@ 21:35 gave up watching sorry / could watch a factory video and get the same satisfaction / try a chisel and hand made dovetails and a new ( unglued unscrewed ) joint or joints I have not seen yet / sorry to be so critical but too much on KZbin to watch this / you might look at some of the Japanese craftsmen

Since you have learned so much from KZbin and are interested in old techniques Where are your videos?Show us your skills !!

[@richardwhite4277]

sorry over engineered / way to many screws ( especially pocket screws ) wood can't move, and today's glues work way too well and then you need metal bracing and threaded inserts / are you going to throw this off a ten story building or is this supposed to out last the next Apocalypse ???

[@WhiteKnuckleWoodworking-wh6wz]

Thanks for the feedback. I tend to over do it because, well I'd rather do that than the alternative and I don't feel like I compromise much by doing so.
