I Made a Table Top Out of Scrap Wood

I need more horizontal storage in the studio. In this video, I make the table top for a new desk using mainly scraps of pine wood and valchromat.

There wasn't any boom. I'm disappointed, Christina! You are forgiven, since this video is a perfect break from my New Year's dinner prepping.

[@rhomboyant8392]

It’s okay, I said boom.

[@JENNISWISS]

🌈wow So great job. your design and skill is SOOOO GREAT. thx for sharing. greatings from swizerland❤️🍀

[@Heatsauce70506]

I think the pine repairs look great. It gives it a handmade vibe witch I love.

[@f1rstclass596]

Joyfully JoyFULL Fabricating. I’m looking forward to your New concepts for the New Year.

[@leroidelabagarre]

Hi Dirty hands! To remove burning from laser cut you can use alcool vinegar.

[@elisabethreeves1786]

I really appreciated what you said about perfection.

[@user-tn7xo7ky9o]

More City Scape Scrap end pieces!! This gave me a great idea! I have a stainless steel counter in wheels, like u find in restaurants, that I currently use as a dining table. Is great work area from baking to getting seeds started indoors. The stainless steel compliments my appliances & black concrete counters. The down side is not having good leg room when more than 2 are seated. Having more scrap than I have room for this would b a great project. I can add magnets to the under side or add trim so the wood top won't move about. When not in use I can hang it on the wall. Isn't that what the call "art deco"? 🤣🤣 Looking forward to more over ur wonderful projects & drooling over ur tools. No longer having a plainer or joiner I regularly use my router creating jigs- ur new toy is really nice. Reminded me of jigs we've made w aluminum ladders to cut boards from logs using chainsaw. Keep waiting for u to start processing ur own lumber....

[@vickinutter5733]

I like how you're using your scraps for projects.

[@anitabruzelius3905]

I Love the tabletop I think the counters on the inlays is in line with the rest of the table and just add to the overall look.

[@user-nj4hj5zc7e]

You are the best in this job.

[@bobwebberkc]

Awesome! I have a 12X20 foot shop and you always inspire this 70 year old retired engineer!

[@ViciousP0w4]

I like how the inlet with burnt contours look in the end result.

[@grandmaraps]

What imperfections. That's the beauty of that tabletop.

[@mr_torx]

Excellent work, as usual. Happy 2023!

[@nw6gmp]

Such an good way to use scraps lying around your shop. The table top looks awesome!

[@ericpetitclerc5519]

Bonne Année! Merci pour vos vidéos!

[@gabrielmarin4300]

Wow, awesome!!

[@Zulatek666]

The wife and I love you! Happy New Year!

Boa Ano Novo Cristiana 🎉 Retired American now living in Portugal. I enjoy your videos and I am really impressed with your English. Muito bom 🙂

[@JackKirbyFan]

I have learned so much from your channel. Keep up the great work. I know your dad is super proud of you!

[@freqenc]

I rather get an autograph from a creator on YT than a Hollywood celebrity. 2023 will be the "year of the creators". Happy New Year!

[@MichaelKieweg]

Happy new year and lots of fun in 2023! Those Valcromat stripes look awesome.

[@melsparkles]

Oh dang, I was going to chuck out 2 boxes of timber scraps. I bet I hang on to them "just in case". That looks awesome.

[@barberspaddockwoodworking]

You've given me a great idea here on how to use some of the scraps in my shop! Happy new year!

[@ironqqq]

0:06 You have an IKEA Malm drawer! I suppose it's practical and cost efficient.

[@boykogoranov8927]

man, this looks great, could've played a bit more with the inlays and some butterflies or some stars or something similar

[@zjenji]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@taiyopunk]

Man i was thinking this table probably would of been an awesome candidate for resin filling/pouring for some of the imperfections. It looks awesome thought!

[@kellcomnet]

Happy new year 🎉🎉🎉

[@michaelhopf3249]

Fine work and practicabel tips for every DIY-home-carpenter. Thank's a lot and with best regards.👍✨️

[@shivercanada]

Happy new year from Spain. Great job... as always. :)

[@chris_hertford]

The top looks so good!

[@awesomearizona-dino]

Great Work, Holiday greetings from Arizona.

[@gregorymacneil2836]

Good work - but - I think you could have built your own sled and it would have made a fun video.

[@B0tch0]

I really like how you introduce color stripes in your designs

[@thegazetteyt]

Even your not perfect work is perfect. :)

[@WoodWorkBalance]

What an unique tabletop. I love it. Great wort. 🙂👍

[@timkemp]

Great project. Have a wonderful new year.

[@bartz0rt928]

Flattening that huge mess of scraps looks so satisfying!

[@MCsCreations]

It's looking amazing, Cris! Fantastic work!!! 😃 I really liked how you solved the issues in the end! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊 And happy holidays!

[@digitalideasz]

Newy Hapyear!

[@denniscarreno5882]

Well done! Greetings from down under Australia

[@brianwhitley1053]

Love the reclaimed-wood table top - including the "outline" of the patches. By the way, you do realize that stashing of lumber and woodworking are two separate hobbies, right? :)

[@brevman71]

Happy New Year… greetings from Tirol!

[@toongoos87]

Its so cool !!

[@tree_carcass_mangler]

Cool project. I like the look of the fixes for the screw holes, etc. Thanks for posting and thumbs up!

[@j.f.l.7649]

It looks like you are enjoying yourself again. Have a very happy new year 🎉

[@shenovah]

[@cristiaolson7327]

That router sled looks so cool! 🤩 I don't have room or money for a giant industrial-size slab planer, but I *do* have a router and lots of ideas. So many possibilities...

[@marcolaitv.3996]

Happy new baby take care always..

[@dennismcaleer242]

Looks awesome! The dust from your project wasn’t that bad. Trust me, you should see my shop, it’s a disaster!

[@polgartibor1958]

Happy New Year !! and thank you for video 🥰🥰🥰🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳👍👍👍👍👍👍- 2023 !!!

[@volente77]

You are awesome! your style is immutable, I really love it. happy New Year

[@rollinrock6696]

Cool!

[@miket2120]

Non woodworker: You have a lot of clamps, and I mean a LOT of clamps. Don't you think you have too many? Woodworker: Too many clamps? Heresy and sacrilege! There are never enough clamps!!!

[@piotrinpost9614]

super clean

[@manythingslefttobuild]

Cool table top, looking forward to the cabinet build.

[@johnlanger7852]

Happy New Year's and love the tabletop looks so cool the colored scraps are so cool in it

[@terrynicholls601]

You are AWESOME!

[@mlubecke]

I love watching your videos… I always learn something new.. the top looks amazing.. and that router sled is a must have tool. Very cool. Happy Holidays from Florida….

[@HugoFerreira24photo]

By the first two minutes I was having PTSD from how many times not straight enough or untill they were straight was used 🤣🤣🤣 Beautiful project as always, and lovely to see a maker in Porto!

[@lomicwind]

It is better to accept imperfections in final look, because as there is a lot of soft wood, it will get damaged anyway while using it. It will receive plenty of small dents and imperfections over time anyway. Can't wait to see you buil the cabinet under that table top. Happy new year and thanks for the amazing content !

[@sgsax]

The randomness can be fun sometimes. Looks great on this table top! Thanks for sharing!

[@kornadd1ct769]

That looks awesome 🖤

[@mitchellsmith3105]

Excellent post. Keep up the good work

[@barrydoxseyuk]

Thank you, Chistina, for a fabulous year of video's. Your videos bring colour to our lives along with style. Happy New Year!

[@yvettelovis2971]

[@mel1654]

Love the stripes!! How come you used a plywood backer? Would the pieces not stay glued without it?

[@dan.w.hoover2556]

Really nice!

[@helenakhudyna2360]

Happy New Year!

[@zacharywong483]

Fantastic work, as always!

Great project, as always :) Happy New Year to you too!

[@c.a.g.1977]

Nice one, Cris! You call it scraps of pine and strips of mdf, I say the look awesome glued up into this table top! Pretty decent Sautershop-gear, by the way!
