DIY Live Edge Dining Table With Metal Legs | MY FIRST TIME WELDING

[@thithamduong2223]

This was perfect as a vanity desk for me. kzbin.infoUgkxMAlHv7-BBWMrPRm5-uEoD6rtdT7SG2Qr Especially the glossy finish. Easy to cleanI was looking for something that wasn't the traditional white and with more of a modern feel. This fit the bill beautifully. I put it together with no problems, by myself in under an hour.Make sure you double check where you place the drawer tracks before screwing down. I had one track that needed to be aligned with different holes than the rest.

[@Noahlochner0]

If you run gas with that welder you'll enjoy welding 100X more. weld will be clean with no slag and it'll just be night and day. I taught myself to weld both mig and tig and I remember switching to gas mig after flux core and I was like "Why didn't I do this ages ago?". Trust me, its definitely worth it. Awesome video keep up the good work!

[@diyhuntress]

That’s my next adventure! Can’t wait to weld up some more stuff this year! Thanks for the love!

[@diyhuntress]

Whattt! You rock. Stoked you’re here! 🙌🏼

[@birdbandit9]

It's refreshing to hear how humble you are about your skills considering you're one of the best woodworkers out there.

[@diyhuntress]

What! Not even close, but thank you!!

[@haripi2]

You are outrageously humble and modest.. :) love the video

[@Troy-Echo]

I love seeing people DIY things they have never done before, and because they TOOK THE TIME TO RESEARCH FIRST, the projects turn out really well. Kudos on leaving the holes large enough for the wood to expand/contract! A lot of people wouldn't have thought to do that. I haven't really done any kind of wood working in 30+ years and I'm getting back into it a bit with plans to build a table top, coffee table, floating entertainment center and eventually a full California King sized bed with storage. I'll probably use black walnut because it is a good hard wood and with just mineral oil, it brings out such a gorgeous wood color. I'd never seen a hand held planer like that before, so thanks for mentioning this. I may see how that works. If I'm not happy with it, I can still take the table tops to a local wood working shop and rent 30 minutes on their high end planer to make a few passes. Thanks for the video, and nice job with the welding!

[@diyhuntress]

Ah! Thanks for the love! This seriously was such a fun project. I’m so proud of it every time I see it in my parents house! Good luck with your project. It sounds like it will be awesome.

[@Troy-Echo]

@@diyhuntress Thanks - although I currently have a similar issue as yours - I do not have a big enough shed to do most of this so I'll be working in the yard until I am able to build a larger shed. Best of luck Huntress!

[@jeffj2495]

Stellar table and build process. THANK YOU for NOT adding crappy background music. Your narration was very good.

[@diyhuntress]

Haha. Thank you! Glad you enjoyed. 😊

[@installer1571]

That is such a great table your parents should be so proud that you made that for them WELL DONE.

Thank you so much!

Thank you! So stoked you like what I’m doing!

Don’t ever doubt or be scared to try something that you never done before just go for it and you will be amazed at what you can do. Just like you have done this time. Great job.

[@diyhuntress]

Yess - this project 100% taught me that! Thank you so much!

[@Whiskey87221]

Yes!!! I got into woodworking about a year ago and will be building my first live edge kitchen table in the next few weeks! So proud of you !! It looks sooo good

[@jacobol.6356]

I am making this table too, but with a plexyglass base, you helped me a lot with your vid. Thanks 👏

[@MaximillianLukas]

Cool to see. Going to do the same thing. Working on My wielding, buying the steel next week. Very good job. Awesome

[@dkt4728]

Love your build and documentation. I know the feeling as I built 3 live edge tables pretty much the same way. Electric planer and track saw. One tip was after the two track saw cuts, but the edges then cut between the two again. This makes a better joint for glue up. I skipped the wafers I had the SAME epoxy nightmare. Ultimately I did the first tun with 5 min epoxy. Much ticker, easier and faster. Great tips. .

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you! Slab and cracks were too significant to use 5 minute epoxy. I should have used table top instead of deep pour. Would have worked better. But, every build is a new lesson and I’m cool with that. 😊

[@fixitmonkey8947]

Im buidling a cherry slab table myself. Just finished thebglue up stage and on to EVERYONE'S favorite part - Sanding!! Your table looks awesome !!!

Hahah. Good luck with the sanding... and thank you!

I've been watching a bunch of these DIY epoxy table videos from some well known guys, then I came across your video and you did a MUCH better job explaining your process with an emphasis on it being DIY! Looking to try to make a table for fun, will definitely use your channel for help, thank you!

[@devilishgrin6557]

First off I give you a TON of credit for your project. I do have a few things that I would interject but I don’t what to take away from what you have done. Great job and continue the journey!!!

[@Majjie24]

Bloody awesome ~ You have given me the courage to get in and make myself live edge galley kitchen bench tops... Have made one for the bathroom vanity top, happy with it but so much smaller than the Kitchen. One bench top is over 3mt long.. Sadly I don't have anyone to help me move it. So hiring a couple of fellas to come and help me move it around. She's level, now I have to tidy up the edges. Fill holes and Varnish I think, not 100% on that one. I know this video you have made is over a year and a half old and I've watched it a few times, but Ms, Huntress you have given me the incentive to get in and get it done... wish me luck.

[@diyhuntress]

This makes me so happy! You’ve got this! Hope you’ll share when you are done! 💓

[@didintlemonyai1973]

girl, your amazing.

[@praveenpakianthan363]

Good project. The rubber bushes used on legs will also act as an air seal which will reduce moisture from entering inside the box bars where its not painted. I have seen some videos where people using table legs similar to the one you made and I am sure it can support good amount of weight but are they steady? Your feedback can be helpful to plan the dining table which I am about to make.

[@diyhuntress]

Thank you! The table has been loved and used for almost one year now and it’s still going super strong! I’m so proud of how it’s holding up. 🥰

[@Philomathe]

Very nice ! Well done ! 3 years later do you have any feedback to give ? Stuff you would have done differently if you have/had any long-term issues ? (With the wood working etc)
