HOW (not) TO make a table......

Today I give you a quick and dirty look at how I made a live edge, free from black walnut table. I don't have the right tools, I wasn't being the safest, but I am pretty pleased with the results!

Ya know, I really don't feel as though I've put my heart and soul into a project until I've either set a power tool, my garage, or myself ablaze while working on it. Awesome job on an awesome table! RIP 40 year old circular saw...

[@RachelOLeary]

Poor thing didn't stand a chance lol

[@dianewurzer3019]

You did a great job , especially using a circular saw to cut the end of your table. All I can say is what a woman. Hope your Easter was wonderful. 🐣 🌺

[@thomasstone3513]

You are awesome. I have been a carpenter for well over thirty years. The difference between a good carpenter and a not so good one is the mentality of just going for it. Put yourself in the situation that may get a questionable result BUT LEARN FROM IT. As always, hats off to you girl... appreciate your attitude.

[@carolebraswell982]

I absolutely love your living room... and your cat!

[@RachelOLeary]

She will ask for a raise, please don't give her too much attention

[@comedianmattrossey]

Rachel, Bring on the fumbling video!!!! Keep Safe Always, Peace, Happiness, Love and Laughter All, Matt - Toronto, Canada

[@debbiewilhelm3035]

Love it! Please show more. It's always good to see you.

[@karenhieatt5581]

Great to watch - glad to see you have your zest for life back - you are looking so happy and relaxed these days

[@jimmyjames2022]

Table looks great! The best project is the one we start but also that we actually finish, which isn't always a guarantee. But yah, safety gear is vital. I have friends who've lost bits and pieces, and a few who've even died, using equipment without safety in mind.

[@JPsPetNation]

Yer I have got to agree it looks good and yer I have been there before where u start somthung and dint end up ending it m ut really does suck don't it x

[@twunderaquatics1770]

That table turned out freaking awesome. I'm not that great with tools myself. If you don't try you don't learn. Damn good job!!! Would love to see coffee table!!

[@jeffreyboster6899]

Well done. You got it done and you are right about the wood, it is stunning.

[@DidisFINDen]

It's what makes you happy that matters. I too fumble through projects and sometimes they turn out pretty good.....if I do say so myself, lol. Always love a hands on video, keep em coming.

[@Ryan-hw7qb]

Please do a species spotlight on the Zodiac loach!!!! These guys are AWESOME!!!

[@TheGreenlight777]

I love that table so much. The thought I had with your process was get several clamps that way your material won't move while your working with it. That's something I figured out when I had to work solo.

[@bm3aquatic]

Such a gorgeous piece of wood and the table looks fantastic. Thanks a lot for sharing!

[@kegboy12]

That looks great! Good on you for tacking a project like that.

[@danielvelez2047]

Looks good. Thinking of doing that myself. Keep the DIY projects coming.

[@KZ.Ellis1]

Fantastic! I hope you will upload many more projects like this!

[@noreefnolife]

Table looks nice. Thumbnail looks good too.

[@demon.that.draws777]

Ironically this video helped me stay safe because I was just going to do some would work and wasn't wearing glasses or gloves and was wearing open-toe shoes

[@jaxntax5509]

Lol you did fine and yes safety is a thing no bad examples. Go ahead let's see the next project. Happy Easter.

[@jenniferchristiansen2040]

Thank you for posting. 😁😁

[@mamag8753]

Looks great

[@LiSa.N.J]

I think you did a great job for the tools you had to work with. Well done. Many years ago my Dad made a fireplace mantle out of black walnut. It's beautiful, but huge and so darn heavy @ 10 foot by 12inches by 2 inches thick. Takes 4 grown men to move it.

[@ofthebeanvariety]

It might be a good opportunity to do "learn with me", "what did I learn", and/or "what I'd do differently" videos. I am sure there are people with varying wood working skill levels who can either learn or or offer insight from the content if you're up to making it. Furniture can be simple or complex. Sometimes there is a specific item that is incredibly difficult to source or doesn't exist. There's also just plain ole satisfaction.

[@ofthebeanvariety]

The table turned out pretty cool.

[@k9feces]

I like the aesthetic of your house, and the table looks great.

[@debrapage582]

Table looks good

[@SeanMcColgandude]

It looks great Rachel nice job

[@robertforrest7956]

Nice Job Rachel!! Have friends that do wood turning, and live edges are a skill to have come out nicely. I think you did an excellent job on this one. Looking forward to seeing more on bog garden and ur tubbing. Happy Easter to you and kids.. 🐇💐🕊️

[@thefishylife6823]

I think it turned out amazing!! Great job

[@caroldragon7545]

It's really nice looking. Complements the room perfectly. By the way, I know this is off topic, but because of your recommendation a long time ago, I made some soilent green repashy because I purchased a bunch of otos and was having difficulty getting them to eat. I took a stone and smeared the unset repashy on the surface. After it gelled I put it in the tank, and their little bellies are now full every time I do that. I had a silicone ice cube tray that makes teeny weeny cubes. It is now dedicated to repashy. - no more cutting or dicing needed for other fish. The little cubes keep protected in the tray and I just pop one out when I need it. I love your videos.

[@RachelOLeary]

Glad to hear it!!

[@BartonHNewell]

"I'm comfortable with tools, but I did not set a good example." My life in a nutshell.

[@josephkrug8579]

Sometimes gloves are more dangerous than not with certain tools. Thanks for all the fun videos ;)

[@weedhopp]

Looks excellent to me !

[@TheAusisa]

I love you Rachel!

[@shesellsfish]

Happy Easter. Love your DIY projects. My grandpa always made us follow all safety precautions if we used his tools, BUT if we caught him unawares in the middle of a project we'd catch him barefoot, no gloves, no safety glasses. He was a true do as I say, not as I do man. I think your table came out beautifully. 👍💓👍

[@Jeffdoeswhat]

That’s a good piece of wood

[@PatrickGeneLeBlancHardy]

Good afternoon Rachel 💪 ✌

[@TripleJAquatics]

Thanks for sharing!

[@EasyGrows-it-420-]

I think you did a wonderful job at least aesthetically! Also Happy Easter

[@thehannahgaylord]

Haven't even started the video. I just love you and wanted to say hi. 👋 Okay Now I'll watch.

[@graphite2786]

I saw you in the comments of Caitlin's Devils hole video.... hehehe! And that table looks terrific! I really love the Industrial/laboratory x natural materials aesthetic. It is the opposite of IKEA!

[@nolasdollsandaquatics9386]

Hoppy Easter 🐇💨

[@sshomelab]

Very nice looking table! I'm planning to build my own coffee-table as well, but then in the same style as Tanner did with a computer table, with a terrarium in it. I think that would be an amazing centerpiece for my living room. I'm a complete n00b with building stuff, so I'll be learning as I go.

[@JPsPetNation]

I think that soukd look good. You coukd go with a coffee tabk with the tank under ut if you want ? You voukd theb hide all the wires better ?

[@z99ywiec]

Nice table!

[@jaxntax5509]

Hello huns Happy Easter.

[@annemieke8409]

Love it!

[@Eclectic-Human]

Awesome love the change up, fun video :-))

[@GlitchAQ]

I often find myself diy'ing using tools in flip flops lol thankfully I've only dropped things and ran my foot into things with my steel toes on. Maybe we're hypervigilant using power tools while wearing flip flops 😆

[@jeffreyhildebrand1173]

Lovely table, despite the challenges! It fits the room nicely.

[@darthtraya8305]

I love your kitty!!! I hope we get to see more of them in future videos. The table is beautiful! From one girl to another not afraid of tools keep up the good work! 💪🏻

[@Honkey-Donkey]

It's good to see you laughing.

[@RachelOLeary]

I find myself hilarious

[@normansanbe2337]

Happy Easter Kid...

[@kasperaquatics]

That table is absolutely freaking fire 🔥 Great job. Love it ❤️

[@jamesparadigm]

Happy Easter, Rachel! 💚

[@Baffi_]

Your living room is looking great Rachel. Picked a good spot for the DFO posters

[@SandyDoughty]

Table looks great! You did a great job!

[@trebor66n2]

I use stone count counter top epoxy on all my life edge tables, counter tops. Very easy, extremely durable.

[@Nenezilla]

Looks great! But feel free to ship it across PA to me, if you don't want it LOL

[@amcgeckos]

I would love to see you do more projects like this only if your comfortable doing them. The table looks very nice for what you had to work with. Great job in my opinion and I havent missed a podcast with you on it yet so I must have subscribed to the correct channels lol.

[@psionicjinx]

These problems sound like the problems all of us get and then think “this doesn’t happen to anyone else.” You did a great job despite all the troubles. Linseed oil?

[@RachelOLeary]

Tung oil

[@psionicjinx]

@@RachelOLeary I like Tung oil except everyone puts down cold drinks on my table even if there are coasters on it.

[@joanvirgil6299]

Great video. Happy Easter

[@EasyGrows-it-420-]

Hi Rachel! Longtime fan I just setup my first 55 gallon on my channel! Excited to be in the hobby finally!

[@EasyGrows-it-420-]

Thank you Matt!

[@RachelOLeary]

welcome!

[@EasyGrows-it-420-]

Thank you it means a lot!

[@JPsPetNation]

Welcome and j am going ti check it out now and see what you habe done. Gokd luck and enjoy your self on here x

[@EasyGrows-it-420-]

Thank you!! its not much I just have it setup it will be aquascaped soon! Please leave some fish ideas I’m still trying to decide what’s going on it!

[@Bloodhoundfostermom]

beautiful !! you did a amazing job! is that stone behind your fireplace ? i moved last year to a new house (well nee to me ) my house has white stone wall behind my fireplace ....i have no idea how to clean it ....if it was a stone wall outside i'd pressure wash it but i can't do that inside my house....Happy Easter !! 🏵️🌻💮🌸🐰🐤

[@RachelOLeary]

Yes it is

[@dl3688]

You did a fantastic job! The "proper" tools would have just made it quicker - not necessarily better. There's more of you in this project than would have otherwise been possible.

[@ChristopherSmithNYC]

I'm a simple man, I see a Kitty Cat I hit like.

[@kevinensz6087]

This is what I do for a living

[@naegwut]

🐈💖

[@darrylmoore5847]

That table is as sexy as the day is long.

[@djssquibbs3295]

it all would have gone so much faster with a good jigsaw and some clamps on that gosh! I can't imagine doing that without having things clamped down.

[@RachelOLeary]

i actually did have it clamped to the table for cutting, just not for sanding as I was twirling it around to do the edges like a glamour queen.

[@RachelOLeary]

also, i would have loved to have had a jigsaw, or really any saw that didn't catch on fire.....

[@OttawaOldFart]

You did a great job, there is a store here called the Old Oak Tree and your table would not look out of place in their show room.
