Those old boards came out very nice.

[@Spruced.Sticks]

I swear every time I want to make something you pop up with a video of exactly what I'm looking for! Turned our great as usual!

[@WHCreations]

nice job on the top. looking forward to seeing the finished product

[@WillWarHero]

I like seeing things not always go to plan in videos. Makes it more relatable to the problems I encounter. I tried the same thing with a Stanley blade last night. Great video.

[@stormdrifter7904]

I like this build. I also appreciate your Neil Young tattoo

[@stormdrifter7904]

Now I've got to stop watching your videos for a bit and listen to that album

[@Badgerworkshop]

Looking good. Im with you, I liked the painted side.

[@CraftyLittleMaker]

another great video mate. a glad to see you're picking up some clients as well. Looking forward to the next one!

[@jackhalfordpodcast]

very clear and understandable audio!

[@sumosprojects]

Great result mate, in particular your energy & research into how you need to complete this project shines through, great work & thank you for subbing to my channel as well, long live woodworkers 👍👍👍

[@TJSWOODWORKINGSHOP]

[@thecreator1455]

love your work, here from new jersey thanks for sharing

[@SebastiaanMollema]

Looks cool keith!

[@MrKirby365]

I'm with you I loved the painted side so much character

[@pgtips4240]

Nice Job.

[@richardyoung9922]

what make is your table saw? excellent vid by the way

[@WheresMyPencilUK]

Great video Keith I bet you are glad you kept those floor boards! I was getting through sanding belts like no tomorrow but got an abrasive belt cleaner. They are £8 in screwfix and work a treat, the product code is 16210. 👍🏼

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Happy Wife Happy Life thanks man I'll definitely get one and try it out

[@SharpEdgeWoodworking-UK]

I used to have the same belt sander....Died on me too when I used it for a prolonged prolonged period of time. Recently replaced it with the Triton belt sander. Haven't given it a prolonged hammering as yet but first impressions are good.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Sharp Edge Woodworking is that the one on screwfix? I had a look at that but ended up ordering the Bosch pbs75a ... it arrives tomorrow looking forward to giving it a spin. I've been through so many belt sanders over the years and yet to find a decent one that lasts. And I've never had a Bosch tool fail me so I'm hoping it will be The One!

[@SharpEdgeWoodworking-UK]

Rag 'n' Bone Brown Screwfix have started carrying a range of Triton products (the orange bodied stuff....not to be confused with TITAN....Screwfix's grey house brand) in the last year or so. Some of which can now be seen in the catalogues but the full range can be found on their website. Only issue is that Screwfix also carry a range of showers branded as 'Triton'.....so a lot of bathroom products may come when your search for "Triton".....so try "Triton Tools" (for the benefit of anyone reading this).

[@ronnakeil3313]

Nice

[@iamlonefrog4252]

I love the sun rays shining through the shop window, I get giddy at how walnut stain teases with hints of black, I can't help but relate when you share the heartache of a fallen tool, which makes me wonder............. Are these the ingredients for the making of a legend?

[@sburge1989]

You can use an old shoe with a rubber sole to clean those sanding belts, good video!

[@RoomiesGarage]

like the video....very entertaining..

[@1973thebigd]

agree painted side for me and i maybe woud have used fine wire wool when staining

[@TecnoCaveman]

Ok so I was about to replace my desktop with some countertop that was left over from my kitchen remodel but now I really want to do this

[@bidders77]

my sander had a similar problem and it was just the drive belt that had broken. sounded awful but new belt and it's been spot on.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+bidders77 yeah I've had that before - drive belt breaking seems to be a common problem. Replacements are hard to find On a lot of the cheaper belt sanders too. I think it is one tool worth spending some extra money on. Having said that I spent £100 on the Ryobi and it has failed me!! The drive belt is fine though I think it's something internally

[@bidders77]

have you not got the receipt? you get a 3 year warranty with the ryobi tools

[@voluntarybutlertv]

Thinking about making a similar desk for music, but with hairpin legs. Do you think they would be up to the job? Great vids - keep em coming!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+voluntarybutlertv I think they'll be ok as long as you don't move it around a lot. Legs screwed to a tabletop are never going to be as stable as a proper mortised desk frame though

[@Andybrowninguk]

Nice work Keith. I have some wood you might be interested in. Some live edge oak. 2inches thick. 10ft long. I'm only down the A11 if you need it delivered.

[@WHCreations]

Andy Browning if Keith passes it up, let me know 😉

[@hansdegroot8549]

Beautiful desk top. Did you use the same kind of sandpaper for sanding wood and for removing paint+ from the wood? For the latter exist special sandpaper. Works much better, faster, easier.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Hans de Groot thanks Hans. yeah I just used ordinary sanding belts to remove the paint as it's what I had on hand

[@texasnewf]

I also preferred the painted side..people pay big bucks for that look..but the client gets what the client wants :) How's that saying go ? "The customer is always right" ..well, not always... :)

[@apexfracture]

make sure she gets some accoustic isolation foam for the monitors. good job on the desk man,

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+maulokk voidborn thanks

[@johnfarrell5647]

try washing and dry I do it on my belt sander

[@thegingerhustle3173]

as always love the channel end result was brilliant, was there a reason you didn't put the board through the planner looks like it would have saved alot of work or is there a reason for that

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Robert John Allan hi Rob, thanks. Only reason I didn't use the thicknesser was because there were a few old nails in the wood that I couldn't get out without making a mess and I didn't want to ruin the blades. Having said that I need new blades anyway so maybe I should have gone for it haha!!

[@thegingerhustle3173]

how do you check for hidden nails?? thanks

[@wildonemeister]

Metal detector, or metal finder - or even a magnet might help a little. Check on eBay.

[@jamiecarlisle735]

How much would you charge for a table like this?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Jamie Carlisle cost of materials + a day and a half of my time

[@skysoldier31]

Wouldn't sanding a bit of rubber clean up your sandpaper? Or is this stuff never coming off, even with rubber?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Frederick Beaudoin I'm not sure, I didn't try it but will try it next time!👍🏻

[@MarkMcCluney]

nice job mate and very clear and entertaining vid. do you feel time spent on Sketch Up is well invested?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Mark McCluney thanks. Yeah I love SketchUp it's pretty easy to learn and get decent results. Matthias Wandell has a good series of videos on how to learn it - worth checking out. I already learned myself the hard way, and wish I'd have found his videos first!

[@MarkMcCluney]

I'll take a look at Matthias' vids, thanks for that mate.

[@andljoy]

I just finished making a desk from ikea birch ( solid butcher block) worktops. EDIT I also just cleaned up the wooden windowsill , you think you have it hard , it had 14 layers of paint on it ....... 14!!!!!! EDIT Would that spray varnish be OK over danish oil ?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Andrew Joy 14 layers??? wow I don't envy you on that one! Yeah spray varnish would be fine over danish oil I believe. It's good stuff and dries so quickly which is handy 👍🏻

[@andljoy]

Thanks may give it a go if you can get a matte or satin version. Yeh 14 layers was a bit of a pain , nothing a bit of nitromorse and 40 grit sandpaper cannot fix :).

[@markjustin9398]

Are you worried at all about the wood moving much?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Mark Justin no it's fairly dry as been in my shop for couple of years. If it cracks, it cracks... its rustic innit

[@SteifWood]

Prime grade ply must be scars in the UK,,, £32 for two small scrap sheets?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Stiff Wood it's very expensive here

[@fiveletters]

I find that using a sanding belt cleaner/eraser works a treat to extend the life of all sorts of abrasives if used throughout the job. I'm not sure if there's a HF near you, but this is one of the items it makes sense to pick up from them. They look like a giant gummy rubber eraser (www.harborfreight.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/i/m/image_17622.jpg)

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+DanKmake no HF in the U.K. as far as I'm aware... I will check out the product though. Thank you!

[@kiteless1]

Rag 'n' Bone Brown Silverline do them, part number 218490, they work nicely!

[@zeroy]

Nice project, varnish in spray doesnt look to be very good or maybe applying outdoors just not fitting.

[@LorcanWall]

Yo

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

Another impressive build my friend, well done and I bet she loved it. A little link for you to look at (www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-abrasive-belt-cleaner-standard-210-x-40-x-40-310398) these cleaners are brilliant and will extend the life of your sanding belts. Amazon might even have some cheaper versions. Good luck 👍🏼😉😊

[@deanwild4971]

i love your videos but jesus you talk like a primary school child reading out a story book sometimes, loosen up!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Dean Wild I can't win mate, if I read off a teleprompter people tell me off for not looking at the camera and if I try and remember what I want to say while I'm talking people tell me to loosen up. I'm not a tv presenter and never claimed to be one!
