Is there anything not to love about April? I’ve been watching her grow for years and can’t wait to see what she accomplishes next.

[@rockman531]

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

[@jackdehaan2267]

Love these practical projects that the average person can duplicate (or at least attempt). Once a CNC machine comes into the picture, I tend to fade out. Good video.

[@glencrandall7051]

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.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.

[@biancamorton4764]

Growing up most of our tables were doors on left over bases :D glad to see other people doing it too. We never made it pretty like this though :D

[@raynoladominguez4730]

That is beautiful! When I worked for an engineering firm, in the olden days, we always made our side reference tables out of hollow core doors; this brings back memories.

[@AprilWilkerson]

That's great! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.

[@kentshrader6616]

April, just a note of appreciation for your videos. I've successfully completed several projects based upon what I have learned through your instruction. Also, I've made some purchases based upon your recommendation. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I look forward to watching more!

[@AprilWilkerson]

Wonderful! Glad you enjoy my channel. Thanks for watching.

[@flyinggyros9745]

That has the WOW factor. Alan

[@simonr6793]

Considering it started life as a cheap door it sure turned into a cracking break room table. You gave me a chuckle at the end when you said Click here for plan's etc, April it don't know if you're aware but each box at the end is totally empty just completely blank spaces!!! As always April 💯%... 👍 🇬🇧.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Yes, I removed them but no worries, they will be replaced tomorrow. Thanks for watching.

[@danielgregory9564]

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! So pretty!!!

[@mcseforsale]

In the 70s, my father built my brother and I desks out of hollow core doors. They were HUGE and amazing. Great for plastic modeling.

[@BoomerKeith1]

WOW. Looks as beautiful as a hardwood table without the cost or weight! This is something I think I could actually do! Thanks for the great idea and inspiration April!

[@pkt1213]

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.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing the memories.

[@clydenakashima7393]

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.

[@thabanimaposa9946]

Was just thinking about that

[@jeffkuipers1030]

very affordable way to make a great looking table.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching.

[@kingtrumpet123]

BEST use ever for a hollow core door -- I LOVE THAT TABLE, thanks for the video

[@AprilWilkerson]

Thanks! I think it looks amazing. Thanks for watching.

[@BadAppleWoodwerx]

April: "I used whatever heavy objects I could find to apply pressure to the middle..." (Sets car batteries on it) All her employees: " Why won't my car start?" 🤣😂🤣

[@pteddie6965]

This is an amazing table. I am crazy about the look of that zebra wood veneer. Thanks for sharing this build with us.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Glad you like it!

[@freddythefrog]

I like how fast and accurate/interesting your talk keeps up with your craft…lol 🐸 great table!

[@unclefuddelmer9224]

April you encourage inspiration among all levels of woodworkers just by being yourself. We ThankYou

[@Robert8455]

Looks amazing April. Something so cheap and simple just increased in value like 10X. Love the legs too.

[@Jimc4007]

This looks very good! My first large workbench was made out of a steel entry door. I put the doorknob hole to the back, against the wall. Worked great, still miss that bench with the reclaimed steel cabinets underneath.

[@BoomerKeith1]

Nowadays you could probably sell a workbench like that as a desk for big money (and the doorknob hole could be used as a wire passthrough). lol

[@davidscott3046]

man April, you still to amaze me with the project you do, keep it up and I will see you on what ever you make next.

[@alexandrypena14]

Love it! Used this idea for my dinning room table!! But I used a solid door slab from home Depot which worked out great!! Thanks for the idea!!

April, I too have made tables out out of hollow core doors as well as shortening them and adding a new bottom. I guess great minds think alike!

April, What about a Bamboo Table build for the OUTDOOR DECK? Love your stuff, Jim

Thank you for the idea I thought about using a door anyways for a table but now I’ve even got more idea of how I could even make a worktable using a door for my woodshop and possibly make a table for the living room for my wife

Wow! A hollow core door! Crazy and awesome. It is so pretty. I love everything you build and make.

👍, Nice job, I'm looking forward to seeing the Bamboo table build. 👍

[@bobdunstan5457]

When I grew up in the late 50's our kitchen table was a solid core door covered with formica on top of a metal frame that my father made. Was very heavy and served us for many years. Sure was heck for stout! Yours is much prettier. ;-)

[@AprilWilkerson]

That is awesome! Thanks for sharing.

[@JAG1762]

Looks great!!

[@BearCreekWoodworking]

Very Creative April! I would not have thought of using a door to make a table. I love the shiny table top! 👍😃

@@AprilWilkerson I need to try some Total Boat Products. Fantastic Results!

[@keithspencersr.6806]

[@davethepak]

Thanks for sharing. I have long thought of the cheap hollow core doors as big "project panels" but would not have thought of this! great project idea. Also, while the bigger and longer projects are awesome (the outdoor kitchen, etc.) - these one day builds are really cool - small projects we might be able to tackle in a weekend or so. especially now that fall in texas means more time in the garage.... thanks again for sharing.

[@thecreativetake]

The finished table was beautiful!

Would highly reccomend doing something with banboo, we have just installed a new kitchen and went with bamboo worktops, looks absolutely amazing.

[@BoomerKeith1]

How was the cost? I've never looked into doing any kind of top with bamboo, but I've always liked the look of it!

[@escy69]

@@BoomerKeith1 It worked out roughly the same price as solid wood oak worktop

[@BoomerKeith1]

This is how me and my dad built tables xD. My dad even made bed bunks and a sofa out of hollow doors he got for free on one of his jobs.

Здорово! Между металлическими ножками нужно пустить перемычку (или направляющую), чтоб ножки не раскачивались и не сложились ромбом. Для устойчивости.

Stunning beautiful table!!! Loved the tutorial April!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@AprilWilkerson]

Thanks so much!

[@phillipzan2005]

I did this for my computer desk. It would of been super expensive to get the size i wanted with solid hardwood. Only issue is I didn't epoxy it. I just sanded and painted it. I then put a hole in it by accident, but that's okay I am going to fix it. Probably going to do a really cool epoxy top coat with the help of my sons mom.

[@kr5289]

Looks really nice, but pretty sure will become wabbly over time. those legs need more support.
