Your videos, your projects, your explanations.....are awesome!!! Last night I OD'd on you! 9 hours and 23 videos later....I stumbled to bed at 4 am. The tiny house build in Washington, all the new workshop video's, the big log mill, and a few others. Simply amazing. Congrat's on your fantastic progress. Jim in Phoenix.

In the 60’s my father needed the same for his wife and 7 children. While not as fancy, as yours, my dad solved our needs with a door in Muskego, Wisonsin. Great job AW! I hope your table has Jesus there daily like he was at our door/table for 30-40 years! God’s Blessings, Richard “Curly” Wentland

Outstanding April. The zebra wood was a great choice. And the Total Boat finish should last a forever or two. Your people will really enjoy using that table And using a door for starters sure saved some time and expense. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.

I like using solid core doors, esp ones that are damaged on one side, for work bench tops. My dad used a bunch of vandalized ones to build an L-shaped desk, drafting table, and some other office furniture when I was growing up. That thing was indestructible and I never wanted to help move it.

Great looking table. You could check the store for damaged doors to make table projects. On attaching legs to the table maybe you cut out a opening on the bottom of the table and add a solid lumber in the opening to attach the legs to. Stay safe.
