Good, clear, straight and no b/s without a million different power tools. Plenty of old doors hanging about, perfect, thanks mate.

Stan just came across your videos today. You do amazing work. I have seen a lot of people making the same items you do but you don't bore people with complex ideas and talking too much about stuff that most diy people do not understand. You are a great asset to the woodworking community. Cheers from Michigan (USA).. Darrell

[@mitre10nz]

These videos are too good, they're consuming my life! I just bought my first house and am so excited about getting stuck into some ideas from your videos. Quick question. How do you make the wedges to jam in the dowel? Is there a special tool/technique to stop the wood breaking at the narrow end? Thanks

[@dylanpine9729]

What did you do with the hole left by the keyhole doorknob?

[@AotearoaChef]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@gusbrecher]

Great video. What glue did you use in the final gluing process ( It looked like epoxy). Is a normal exterior PVA wood glue not suitable?

[@mitre10nz]

Cheers Gus! It's a lot clearer in the pdf instructions, and the terminology might need updating: www.mitre10.co.nz/medias/How-to-build-a-dining-table-WEB.pdf?context=bWFzdGVyfHJvb3R8MjczODM4N3xhcHBsaWNhdGlvbi9wZGZ8c3lzLW1hc3Rlci9yb290L2g5OS9oODQvODkxNzUwNzA4MDIyMi9Ib3cgdG8gYnVpbGQgYSBkaW5pbmcgdGFibGUgLSBXRUIucGRmfDgwY2U2YjQ0ZDc3OGFhZjBhZDk4YjQ1OTdiOTA1ZWZjZmQwNjFlYmE4ZGEyOTY2NjkwY2U1YjJjYjExNzBlZDc The other glue Stan's used is a two-pot glue www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/crc-builders-all-purpose-glue-500ml-tan/p/370859 ^Matt

[@montoyatoeke2518]

Empiricalinformation p2

[@nikaekart]

very cool! what kind of glue do you use (not the white one)?

[@Etheridge247]

I love the design of your table. However, I would like to build a larger table. Must the legs be larger for a wider and longer table?

[@dustywhipple773]

Wood movement ?

[@robertshepherd509]

Great video. I think im going to give this a try. What kind of wood did you use?

[@mitre10nz]

Hi Robert, We used recycled Rimu but you can use any timber you like really. SR

[@larchejacquesclarel9451]

Wats the sapecies of wood you use for the legs and also wat type of glue you used?Can PVA be use for all type of woods?especially for hard wood?

[@matthewbellamy8375]

Larché Jacques Clarel the wood is rimu, a new zealand timber, pva wood glue works with timber as far as im aware.

[@larchejacquesclarel9451]

matthew bellamy very beautiful species of wood. thks for sharing :)

[@jrose0182]

What's the size of the support beam used?

[@jefffetterhoff2750]

[@angelicosouza7457]

perfect, thanks mate

[@dinozhang6368]

"A good dining table doesn't have to be bought home from a store..." lol Smith City hates you bro...GOOD JOB!!

[@TyroneJester]

that is a brillant tip for making crossed legs, you got a sub and a like for that one

[@craigstill]

What is the glue you use to glue the legs together?

[@mitre10nz]

Hey Craig, a strong adhesive PVA glue will do the trick: www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/paint-decorating/adhesives/adhesives/c/RF5244 ^James

[@craigstill]

Thanks. I bought that Aquadhere PVA glue for the angle boards the legs bolt to. Tougher than wood they say.Guess I can just use that. Cheers.

[@gkosmonet]

Good craftmanship but the design with crossed legs seems unstable to me compare to the standard four leg table,especially when you drill a hole in the joints and the width is half.My opinion is four leg table is better and lasts longer.

[@raylow304]

Oh yeah finally, metrics!!!

[@eyadalhaj7447]

its nice work

[@vaisolilanoue3203]

Easy as. But before that you need the right tools. Easy as.

[@sajidullah]

excellent

[@gisselacosta8553]

Thanks

[@JamUltra]

What were your legs made from?

[@mitre10nz]

It's Rimu 👍

[@fortuner123]

Your method of fixing top to legs is flawed. It looks like the table will rock and eventually need attention.
