[@DavidGreen31]

Hi, I was about to start building this today and unfortunately the link to the plans no longer works. Any chance you could put it back up? Thanks - and great content.

[@inmyimage1081]

@@DavidGreen31I know this is a long time ago but if you were still interested in possibly just seeing a sample of their plans, I discovered tonight that if you go to the link for the legs, the leg manufacturer has a link to the pdf plans that can be downloaded. Kind of annoying when creators don’t maintain links for things they published as free but at least there is a workaround in this case.

[@DavidGreen31]

@@inmyimage1081 Hey, thanks for replying. I did actually end up building this table back then. I will say that building it with a single sheet of ply, even with the fancy stretcher underneath, it noticeably bowed. If I were to build it again, I'd use two pieces of ply glued together, or build real stretchers underneath. Good luck, and thanks again.

The author does like to kzbin.infoUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

[@AndrewNguyen]

I really appreciate you guys offering a more DIY-friendly option for people like me who don't have as much experience with woodworking. This table looks like something I'd be much more wiling to try to tackle so thank you for this!

Awesome. That’s the hope. 😊

I grew up with 70s furniture and you get super cool lines with Mediterranean and if course French Provincial! But I am so in love with Palmetto color!!! So sophisticated.

[@fernacticus]

A useful tool would be really easy to make right at the beginning of this project. When you are cleaning up the factory edge, put a piece of scrap ply against the straight edge you have clamped on. Now make the cut through both thicknesses. The resulting length of ply is exactly the same dimension as the offset of your saw. To use it, mark your sheet where you want to cut it, put straight edge on the board off set with your new spacer and clamp it down. Remove the spacer and make the cut. I have a spacer for both the wide and narrow sides of my saw.

[@MJ-nb1qn]

Thanks, you are my favorite channel. It was nice seeing your lovely wife involved. Having a metal fab shop and a wood fab shop I often use metal and wood as you did. I was wondering if you had thought about using metal for the longitudinal supports under the table? I have never made one of your designs, but you have influenced me in my design and build. Thank you for your clear, concise narration. Please continue. All the best, and BTW I’m getting some new glasses!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Thanks MJ, appreciate it. I think a matching metal stretcher would be awesome. It's kind of outside of the scope of this project though, since the legs are pre-fab and can be purchased to fit any table. If semi-exact was to make a matching stretcher piece, I think it would just be too specific to one particular table size. The goal here was more modularity than a specific design.

[@MJ-nb1qn]

@@Foureyes.Furniture Yes I agree. I’m “semi” retired and I do a lot of custom metal work like making items such as those stretchers and designing pieces for folks who come in and say “can you make something to do this”? I’m thinking of fabricating similar legs, but having them enclosed fully. I’d also have a plate welded to the base to spread the load instead of your plywood plate. Well you got this Old Boy thinking. I really appreciate all the work you guys put in. Thanks

[@ilikewaffles3689]

@@MJ-nb1qn how will you make them fully enclosed? Formed + welded sheet metal?

[@MJ-nb1qn]

@@ilikewaffles3689 - Well in my shop, for the legs, all sides would be cut from steel sheet (maybe 14 gauge) then TIG or MIG welded to form a “box” structure. Then grind the welds smooth. Just like most things I make. For the apron you could use some C channel and weld a plate on the open side, if you wanted. For a support under the table it’s easy to router grooves to accept the legs of a C channel and screw or bolt the channel to the under side of the top. Maybe use 2 channels about 1/3 in from sides.

Шикарный стол! Сделаю, пожалуй, такой себе

[@BrunoSilvaAlleycat]

You son of a biscuit, I was trying to find an outdoor dining table I saw at Homegoods once but never found it again. Almost inspired myself to try and build something similar, but it had tapered legs at an angle, which would most definitely lead to utmost frustration. Then comes Chris with this product that just happens to be exactly what I need. Now I'll have to order a few of these legs and ultimately run out of excuses for not building the damn table myself. You bastard.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

haha...I think you're officially out of excuses. You must do it :)

[@JBLewis]

Great video! Thanks for making it clear to not get too wrapped up in unnecessary details like what the big angle is on the belly support. The angle isn't important: just split the length, split the width and connect the dots.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Yup yup...lots of things in Woodworking are pretty arbitrary. The sooner people wrap their heads around that, the simpler things start to appear :)

Please tell your wife that those Landon frames look pretty smart. That table is really nice. I just built two work table/islands for my wife and her new business using that same top laminating technique but with a heavy bullnose round over on both the top and bottom. Came out wonderful.

The other bonus and no disrespect we got to see you on your channel, if you catch my drift...

[@luke9822]

I am wondering if adding glue to the belly/stretchers might help prevent sag. Also, I would imagine a square apron style "belly" (table under a table), rather than two free floating stretchers, might give more stability to prevent movement of the plywood over time. It could be built with the same tapered aesthetic as well.

Nice simple design. Also, love the legs! Think I am going to build this for an outdoor dining table. I hope the metal legs (powder coated?) will hold up!

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

They are definitely powder coated. I would look on Semi-Exact's website or inquire to see if they have info on that. I can't 100% say since I am not as familiar with the manufacturing process, testing, etc...as they would be.

[@zachshoemake934]

I like this design, however I think I would order the legs in white, so that I can strip some of the paint, and then make a slim line steel frame to weld or bolt the legs to, this so that the table will have better strength!

[@luke9822]

4:07 I'm trying to figure out how you cut these pieces so that the plywood layers line up with the top piece. Given that those pieces underneath are not mitered at a 45° angle, wouldn't the end of the table look a bit odd at the corners and not like a 1.5" piece of Baltic birch?

[@terry504able]

That new pocket hole jig looks great. Does it work as well as the previous version?

[@par5endos562]

8:27 You're not going to get 2" here since you're using the offcut. It'll be 2" minus your saw kerf. In the end I don't think this width is critical, but it's something people should be aware of.

[@Foureyes.Furniture]

Good call. Because the piece is the offcut in this instance. I think circ saws have about a 1/16th kerf...so should be ok :)

[@Aikano9]

4:36 what do you mean? Was the table designed to be stood on or not? From my understanding the literal writing indicates yes, but the tone indicates no

[@emyoswald]

I always felt faintly stupid for using my speed square to align my circular saw before I had a miter saw, but I feel better seeing someone else doing it lol

I would take a speed square and a circular saw for accuracy over a miter saw any day.
