[@harindergill7221]

Super outcome. Completely agree with not letting things go waste. I wish more artists and craftsmen would think like that. Thanks

[@wayward_dom6865]

Free materials + bit of graft = 👍Nice one Mr.Brown

[@keithconway4567]

Nice build... I love Road Side Supply... and what people think has no use (like metal legs). Cool that you have more metal legs to work with.. I love it when I don't have to go anywhere to get supplies.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

me too!! on both accounts

[@LetsBuildThatApp]

Looks excellent, adding the darker wood pieces in between was definitely a nice touch.

[@theburris]

The beech grain looks gorgeous. Fantastic use of materials that otherwise would have ended up in a landfill. 👍

[@NP-rh3dt]

I really enjoy your videos Keith. They're simple and wholesome entertainment and you don't have the most expensive tools or biggest shop, which most people don't, yet you make professional grade projects for us all to enjoy. Thanks!

[@ianvicedomini2648]

Nice finish on the top Keith and those legs turned out great too. Great video chap

[@danielhall3151]

Great work. Fun to watch. I like seeing how you take discarded items and create beauty.

[@danielhall3151]

Inspiring. Good teaching. Good for the world.

[@marcindrachal]

There's handful of channels I can give a thumbs up blindly and after actually watching the video - never take it back. Thanks Keith for the quality content you make!

[@harindergill7221]

Second that!

[@colinaskey9777]

I'm happy that you are still using people's discarded items,it is by far one of the most comendable things one can do in this throw away world, the table is top notch,you needed to find a local powder coating man if you want to work with metals,take and be happy

[@dalejones4186]

Beautiful job. We should all learn to recycle like this. This is truly “One man’s trash is another man’s treasure”. Really nice job.

[@doktoruzo]

That is the most stylish piece you have made. Well done. Beautiful job.

[@negotiableaffections]

Your mission statement of recycle/upcycle well and truly filled here. A gorgeous build. Removing those mounts really simplified the lines and gave it a more sleek look. It definitely didn't need and 'blackening' it works just fine!

[@sharit7970]

Masterfully done!

[@63256325N]

Nice project, a fine finish product from the salvaged bits. Thanks for the video.

[@hizo64HH]

That came out nice! I had to laugh at your 32° comment because in New Mexico, USA, my shop is usually over 110° farenheit. 32 celcius feels so nice!

[@stevejenks2504]

Amazing! Simply amazing! I love the table and the video, even better that it was all free! Fantastic, well done Keith!

[@HODYODesign]

Very nice use of reclaimed materials!

[@jtotheb-ip2hh]

wow, Keith! looked great! and it's great you found all the materials. great use of wood, metal, and skills.

[@jordanallison7105]

I like the salvage material builds the best too. good job

[@nigegrumlin6636]

Great project Keith. Thank for sharing it with us. Best wishes from Yorkshire.

[@RootAwakening]

Another reason to add to your list of using hand planes over power planes is the finish they leave behind. If well set up you can eliminate all tearout even on figured woods and leave yourself with a surface that's ready to have a finish applied.

[@MrWaseemshawwa]

Great work and lovely design.

[@mrbrianparker]

That's a clean looking piece. Elegantly simple metal against the wood.

[@janinelew2483]

I love the way turn recycled materials into such beautiful pieces.

[@chrisbannister2137]

Any cold blue ( gun blue ) will work great ! Iv re done a few barrels and it's all in the prep for a good finish !

[@SCRAPWOODTOCRAFTWOOD]

One man's junk is another man's treasure keith great job my friend

[@paullevers7211]

Great table Keith , the raw steal look goes well with the top.

[@ConwayT91]

Great decision to lose the floating spacers, this one turned out awesome. love the grain of the beech!

[@tyler4164]

That looks amazing. Its amazing what people throw away. My wife hates me hanging onto all the wood etc i find.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

do what i do, hide it behind the sofa!

[@kathycourtney7958]

Love your projects and your organization!

[@tristansunrisetattoo5276]

Looks Great! Another good watch. Nice job Keith

[@CammiesGarage]

Holy crap, that reclaimed beech is beautiful wood. I love a good score. Nice build.

[@MattBerryCustom]

A really nice looking project. Absolutely the correct decision not to blacken the steel (which can cheapen the look of a project sometimes) the waxed bare metal is beautiful and if it does develop a patina in time then that will further compliment it. A truly beautiful piece Keith. 👍🏻

[@tropicaltanktv]

Great looking table and great video.

[@yellerbellyworkshop]

Great piece of upcycling mate. Well done👍

[@PRACTICALLY_BLIND]

Love when wood meets metal, looks awesome.

[@wrzlgummidge7663]

Great design, another great vid Keith. Nice one

[@hyland1984]

As a former metal fabricator keith, Hammerite steel is great quality paint. Expensive. However I have used Aldi & Lidl's steel paint on many projects & for the price? Excellent value for money.

[@CasualDIY]

Absolutely brilliant build, great video and project!

[@Badgerworkshop]

Looks great and cost nothing. My favourite kind of project

[@Oelkins2207]

Lovely looking table, even better that it was virtually free!

[@kieranfoster902]

Very nice look to the table. I've been trying to find some wood to make a few things from but have had no luck as yet. Will keep trying.

[@MissLady-pq4hc]

Love how you made a beautiful table from odds+ ends..

[@ksp1278]

Beautiful work.

[@Yet1moreUtuber]

Cool looking table, job well done!

[@garyrogers6761]

From Australia, I was in the UK in 1990, and of course I was working as a barman/cellarman, learned a lot about how look after and present "pommy" beer was a great experience all round and enjoyed it immensely !!! We had a wonderful 'Summer' that year and the Poms were complaining about the heat, similar to what you have now, they could not understand how I could be enjoying the weather as I had to wear a shirt and tie for work, until I explained to them about the 'Summer temps' where I come from [North Queensland, Australia], I don't know how many beer coaster maps I drew to explain where I lived, but they were satisfied in the end that it was not hot for me in the UK Summer ?? Was working in the Twickenham area around Eel Pie Island and so on at the The George, The Three Kings and The Cabbage Patch near the railway station, say hello to all the pubs there for me if you are ever in the area, most of the bar staff in the area were either Aussies or Kiwis so 'old home week' for us !!

[@marthaabebe9042]

ዋው (Wow) በጣም ያምራል! It is so beautiful!

[@Cradley684]

Really nice job Keith, have a nice day !!!

[@o1nyxthesecond120]

Very nice table, really liked the video also.

[@uknowulikethat4042]

all of that material for free, nice one. looks great

[@sffpv9671]

Nice video. The table looks amazing!

[@robsonwoodwork]

Really nice project mate! I really admire your hand planing skills, wish I could do it properly, but just don't have the knack it seems!

[@funkysod]

Another great one Keith!

[@garytheonion]

Top work Keith, nice one!!

[@StamosTee]

Great video and really beautiful table. For nice looking bare metal you can try applying a phosphate solution to create a chemical reaction that homogenizes rust to a dark color and then apply clear lacquer spray. Leaving the metal parts in open space to create a thin layer of rust, has better results.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

thank you!

[@FranciscoRodriguez-be6ik]

Good job!

[@gerberagirl5]

You make tje best things! I could listen to you say "Sapelli" all day! Lol

[@johnbell1012]

I really enjoy your videos!

[@philwebb8049]

That's great Keith...really great!

[@cobberpete1]

Good Find, and Beautiful Table. I'm always on the lookout for 'Finds' :D. I'v re purposed quite a few roadside throw outs. I too keep the hardware, especially drawer runners. I'm surprised you did not keep the screw inserts

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks! I prefer how it looks without anthem and was worried about expansion/contraction with them being fixed

[@rakeyohn222]

Very nice result.

[@TakamiWoodshop]

The sapele looks fantastic. Awesome table man.

[@JohntheSchreiner]

Nice work! Made especially awesome by the fact that all of the material was pretty much free haha.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks John

[@martinf6448]

Sweet upgrade.

[@SMee67]

Sweet upcycled table, mate 👍 Amazing what can be picked up for free. 👌

[@Waltorian]

Very nice.

[@davep5829]

Looks great.

[@hrishikeshb]

One way to blacken metal is to heat them up using a blow torch or something similar and then dipping them in used motor oil. Gives it a nice antique finish. Its usually used for hinges and small items but I can't see why it can't be done or larger objects, other than the need for a large dipping container.

[@apedude0]

great design!

[@juliansmith2250]

Good stuff man, I'm glad you didn't do the "metal blackening" finish I think it all matches best this way!

[@scottiefly6078]

Love watching your videos keep up the great projects buddy 😁

[@wizz4392]

Keith, i love it.

[@francoisfouche2568]

Someone may have asked already and I probably missed it ... why not remove / unscrew the inserts? I have done that before using an Allen key and keep them for later use? Love the project !

[@RagnBoneBrown]

The wood still wouldn’t have been the right shape because it was cut at an angle. Good thinking though

[@charlesarnold4963]

Nice one. I would suggest Hamerite paint, spray or brush, many colours to choose from.

[@jeffgoldenberg9579]

Hi Keith. Greetings from NYC. If ferric chloride is available in the UK, try that on some scrap steel to see if you like the effect. Love your work.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

thank you!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Nice looking coffee table Keith! Thanks for sharing the video.😎👍JP

[@colinaskey9777]

You mentioned that you would like some tips on mettle painting,I'm sure you have used rattle cans before,and there are some very good rattle can manufacturers about,but the GOLDEN rule when painting any material, wood,metal,plastic,concrete, bricks,I could go on,is PREPARATION,it is the most important part of any project,and I know you're aware of that,because I know you're learning all the time,so you will have no problems painting anything if you do your prep correctly first,take care and be happy

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks Colin!

[@iQuincyboy]

An awesome project! I would also love to see the legs blackened, you could use ferric chloride or cold blue oxide for this. Cheers!

[@sneakyblackdog]

very nice

[@michaelevans1658]

Looks nice Keith.

[@HMaktoum]

Really nice looking and strong

[@thedarkknight830]

Nice project, as for the steel legs try out crc rust converter it seems to be a good product.

[@AliDymock]

Gotta be one of my favourite pieces you've made. Also good catch 3:36!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

haha high speed makes it look more impressive than it really was! :-)

[@rubymimosa]

Very nice!

[@6mmairsofting620]

Great video

[@RagnBoneBrown]

thanks!

[@phildxyz]

Great work - whoever buys that is getting a lovely piece for a bargain price. If the frame is steel, you could maybe try heat bluing it...

[@simpson1672]

You could make benches with the other metal legs. Bluing is a good way to blacken metal, but it would take quite a bit to do large legs like those.

[@NomadMakes]

When you brought forward those legs, I thought they looked like the hat and coat stands! I was like: No way! He has more of that stuff!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Hahaha!

[@ronnakeil3313]

Nice

[@1959Berre]

Beautifull tiger-striped beech.

[@debbiee6535]

Nice😊

[@jeremyspecce]

Nice move ditching the floating spacers. I think it works better in this case. Grinding off that paint looks like a real pain!!

[@whaters]

You could use some ‘blueing’. Same stuff they darken firearm barrels with. It’s available from most UK gun shops. It’s a sort of paste you rub on which reacts with the metal

[@831simon]

Most UK gun shops? I don't think I've ever seen one.

[@whaters]

831simon there’s more than you think, they don’t really make themselves stand out for obvious reasons

[@paultay23]

That table looks fab Keith, great film work as well. Hope do you find the Dakota Clamps (I presume they are the ones from Rutland).. Cheers Paul

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks! Yeah the Dakota clamps have been great so far, no complaints

[@HobbyPrints]

How do you think your workshop will have to change now you use it as a business? Your DeWalt saw is great but I imagine the brushed motor is fairly loud, would you consider upgrading to something like the Charnwood W619 for its induction motor and sliding carriage? I know it probably won't fit it with your current layout but the footprint can incorporate a router table with some modification.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I'd love one of those saws, have looked at them before but while I'm in this workshop I won't be getting a cabinet saw. I hope to move soon and have more space to play with!

[@doyle201206]

Hammerite smoothrite will get them black as the night and last well.

[@wateringflower]

Best metal blackening agent I know is some paint mate!

[@edenrose7372]

Do stairs need footings?

[@chemcody5119]

That came out great Keith. I have noticed, in the last few videos, that you do not have your Planer connected to your Dust Collector. Is it not possible with that dual purpose unit?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks Chem. As my dust extractor is hooked up to small 30mm pipes the chips from the planer would be too big and cause a blockage. I’ve tried to figure out a way of running 100mm pipe to it but haven’t managed it yet. When I get a bigger place it’ll be easier I think

[@chemcody5119]

Rag 'n' Bone Brown . That makes sense. Thanks for the reply Keith.
