Great, quick work-table base, easy to build, simple parts, with minimal tool work, will move around the shop easily, adjustable to uneven floors. And the size could be changed easily with different length pipes. Like it!

[@kevincowles3235]

Nice video! Just what I needed for my project. Computer desk. Where did u find your butcher block top? Local big box or internet? I'm cheap! LMAO😀 Rock on! Keep video ideas coming. Thanks.

[@TGWoodworking]

Thanks, I made the top using different domestic and exotic woods. But you can buy butcher block tops at home Depot and Lowe's for really affordable prices. They're typically acacia wood, but they should have maple too

[@temiongcecilio]

Great idea. Listing items needed clearly. First time on your channel. Thanks for sharing. [Liked & Subscribed]

This is amazing. Thank you for this great instructional video

Can't wait for the table top video :)

[@jamescc2010]

How heavy is the frame? Can I use this as a computer desk, not sure about the correct height? I also have a thick glass table top from an old metal frame desk which got misplaced. I like this concept so I can take it apart and move as needed.

[@TGWoodworking]

You'd have to figure what lengths of pipe you need to make it work, but you can buy many different lengths. I think this table was about 34" tall, for a desk you want to be able 28"-30" tall I think. Not sure how much it weighs, but it's not bad

[@brandondean7739]

Would it be possible (advisable) to use those casters with the expandable rubber insert to avoid having to drill and thread the cap pieces?

[@TGWoodworking]

Sure

[@nmssis]

how sturdy is this type of table...can you use a hand plane on this? I ask because I have a big box brand workbench top only hence, I need leg options

[@TGWoodworking]

No it can shake and wiggle a little bit. You'd need more support to keep it sturdier

[@ccpiscancer]

Is there a cost-effective way to make the pipe taller (like around doubling the height) that is quickly adjustable? I'm looking to make a computer monitor mount for watching TV lying in bed.

[@TGWoodworking]

Yeah, you can just buy longer pipes. But as far as being able to adjust it to whatever height you want, I don't think there's an easy way to do that. I'd just buy an adjustable height desk frame

[@DavidHunterinOttawa]

Excellent video. Thank you for sharing. I've seen others include wood cross-braces on the underside, and then attached the flanges to the brace. Instead of attaching directly to the underside of the table. Can you comment on when and why this would be important, or not important?

[@TGWoodworking]

Yeah, that'd be better, because you're always going to get some movement. I've somehow gotten lucky with this table, because it's stayed the same this whole time. The frame with cross bracing would definitely provide better support as well. Again, I'm lucky with this, that the table has remained flat. I don't know how, but maybe because there's so much glue and thin strips of wood. If it was wider solid pieces, I would definitely expect it to sag in the middle without support. Thanks, and good luck on your projects

[@DavidHunterinOttawa]

@@TGWoodworking I appreciate the detailed reply. Thanks! I have not attached my legs yet, so I'll put some bracing in on the underside first. Especially since the wood didn't glue together *perfectly*!

[@adannaj289]

Excellent video. Any ideas on how to make this adjustable, dining to counter height?

[@TGWoodworking]

I guess you'd just have to get longer pipes

[@chrissego2530]

Nice project! I made a tabletop out two sheets of 3/4" red oak plywood glued and Brad nailed together. It is 84" L X 32" W. Do you think I would need center supports given the materials and length of the table? Like this design and no one will be sitting on it but want to avoid leaners and the like causing the table to bow in the middle.

[@TGWoodworking]

Yeah, that might sag a little.

[@nanettehoover3119]

How long of a span can the center pipe be without additional support? I want to make a work table out of 8’ or 10’ long butcher block countertop.

[@TGWoodworking]

Wow, that's huge. I would think you'd definitely need a center support.

[@mikemasciangelo248]

Any suggestions on if we want it to remain flat on the floor? Planning on using this as a desk for my sons room.

[@TGWoodworking]

Yeah, you can get flanges that screw onto the pipes. And you can turn them to adjust the height of each one

[@TrunxKraft3000]

Im currently at HOME DEPOT and I’m not finding a 3” nipple. There are 3/4”, is that what you mean?

[@TGWoodworking]

3" long nipple, 3/4" pipe

[@TrunxKraft3000]

@@TGWoodworking ok i will look again ! Thank you

[@ruanpienaar5400]

Hey would this work for a table roughly 70 inches long and 40 inches high? Want a nice bar style dining table that can seat 3 people each side

[@TGWoodworking]

You'd need to add to the height. I think this table is like 32" or something. I can't remember, but it's the same height as a sawstop tablesaw

[@aaronstrange4036]

Great video, is the 32” height just the base or is that the finished table height?

[@TGWoodworking]

I think that was the finished table height. It matched the height of the tablesaw, which is usually around 32"

[@seanconway9882]

just curious if the table was wobbley at all using the pipe base? Im gonna steal your wood pallet idea for table top.

[@TGWoodworking]

A little bit, yes. Someday, I'll build a more permanent base, without wheels

[@bawalmagisip1]

Should we use thread locker?

[@TGWoodworking]

Sure, you could if you'd like. I didn't, just in case I wanted to take it apart easier

[@mjt7412]

Is it safe to use 1/2" pipes instead of 3/4"?

[@rytas]

If it is a normal use dining table, or end table, it will be fine. However, the 1/2'' will look a bit too scrawny IMO. If this is for a work bench, or something more utilitarian, I would definitely go with the 3/4'' or even thicker for extra stability. You are never going to crush this pipe either way, so it's personal preference to save a few more $$, or to have a specific look.

[@TGWoodworking]

Yes, depends on how big your project is. You probably saw Ron's comment

[@shellylong4900]

Could a person use a piece of granite for the top? If so how would you attach it?

[@TGWoodworking]

Yes, probably just epoxy

[@maradobervich3038]

Real granite would most likely be too heavy.

[@meerimmoldalieva2908]

How much will all these materials cost?

[@TGWoodworking]

I can't remember, maybe like $150?

[@jenniferhedden1698]

Do you know the weight capacity for this base?

[@TGWoodworking]

No, sorry. But I would think at least 400 lbs

[@justinrogers746]

do you know what the weight capacity is?

[@TGWoodworking]

No sorry. But I can stand on it with no worries, and I'm like 190 lbs.

[@E9JMX]

On the shopping list, you forgot cutting paste or coolant for tapping the threads 🙄

[@trevormarlin5295]

Not sure why you'd make the project 80% harder by assuming absolutely everyone wants it to roll around on casters and imply they HAVE to go through this immensely complicated drilling process. You could mention that as an alt, but show people how easy it is to finish by just using end caps w/ padding or more floor flanges, which is prob what 90% of people would prefer to do. #KeepItSimple

[@TGWoodworking]

Lmao, you can do it however you'd like there chief. #getalife

[@TGWoodworking]

Also, my apologies for making a free educational video for your enjoyment 😘

[@h4mmy753]

You sure seem to have a much different idea of "immensely complicated" than the typical person. #ItsSimple
