I am a beginner to woodwork, the main test I have with this bundle kzbin.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt is that I think that its hard to settle on a choice of the plan and outline to use as there are a large portion of them there. Nonetheless, I like the simple stride to step directions laid out there.

This lumber is pressure treated with all kind of toxic chemicals to prevent decay. Old barn wood would be much better material for table.

Creosote - nasty, but perhaps worn off

[@user-cy2rd1hb1p]

Even more, the toilet were direct drained on the railways at some area in the old days . I'm not sure if it is a good idea to make a table out of it

[@dylanelderkin2475]

I agree. I would not advise anyone to use an old railroad tie for furniture. It's bad for the health of the woodworker and the customer

No se en que país estas pero acá en Argentina existe una madera o mejor dicho un árbol llamado quebracho que es así cm lo ves y se usan para durmientes y montar las vías de los trenes ... sin tratamiento es muy buena .. de echo esta madera puede estar bajo el agua durante 20 o 30 años sin descomponerse

[@anotherjoe5675]

I wiped out a couple of chain saw blades cutting these things up for a garden project... There are many stones and gravel that have found their way into the cracks and cervices of these weathered-out boards... Overlook one and your chainsaw is toast....

I thought these where soaked in creosote and toxic?? I wouldn't use one for anything

[@tinacofactory]

this material is carcinogenic. quite dangerous, indeed.

[@seanbrotherton542]

It's only toxic if you eat it. Old weathered railroad ties pose little to no risk.

[@jaysfishbowlable]

That's not true.

[@chad1182]

Really nasty stuff in these, how else do they last 50 years outside

[@erikleorga]

The amount of rod and degradation of the ties suggests they were likely untreated, or only treated on the outside. Termites wouldn't move in were it treated through and through.

[@keenanesilva5444]

[@RegiRanka]

Holy creosote Batman! I hope you did not breathe any of that, and carefully swept up all the dust and buried it far from any running water. I also hope that table will never be used indoors. You should always be concerned around anything organic that can spend 100 years laying on the ground without rotting.

Also, I think a dark piece of tempored glass instead of the wicker stuff would look better and be more pratical. But still very nice and great video. Thank you!

[@slippinslidewayz]

Awesome work! Although, the way you make some of those table saw cuts should keep you up at night. Sure it's technically a rip cut when the board is on its end, but you can use a crosscut sled to keep kickback from occurring instead of standing on the wrong side of the table and hoping for a good outcome. Really they take like 10mins to make. Be safe!

I think this is called a railroad tie. Sleepers would be more narrow.

[@jaclm]

"Ties" and "sleepers" are interchangeable words, with the former being used mostly in the Americas and the latter in the rest of the world. In reality though, what he's using in the video are bridge timbers, and yes, they're much larger than standard ties/sleepers. Another giveaway is the dap on the underside where the timber sits on the bridge girders, regular ties don't have this.

[@ShaunButterley]

The way he ran that saw with his leg on top... you Muppet.

[@blockadeboyz]

Old railway sleepers commonly are treated with cancer causing products including creosote and PCB’s they would be the worst wood to reclaim for this project.

Knowing humans, there must be worse wood somewhere...

Beautiful table mate though I personally loathe seeing someone with so much talent. Kudos.

[@jonathancharnes7984]

I was trying to explain that railroad ties usually contain creosote and other carcinogens. I would never allow furniture recycled from railroad ties in my home. The worker is really endangering his health because he was not using a respirator and cutting, sanding, planning makes a lot of saw dust. But in the case of railroad ties, creosote and other carcinogens are released. He also did not appear to have protective eyewear and at times handled the ties with his bare hands. Once again creosote can irritate the skin.

[@TommiLipponen]

Creosote is horrible stuff. Sleepers and old telephone poles containing it must be disposed in toxic waste treatment plant in Europe. It's unbelievable that this kind of videos exists.

[@fantasyteamshorts6112]

The final product is also average

[@markheintz1878]

The pressure must have been very low when they treated them. The ties from the treating plant nearby are treated all the way through. The pressure is high enough in the chamber to absorb around 8 gallons per 7x9x8.5 cross tie. That's part of the reason they are so heavy.

[@greggminkoff6733]

When these ties were produced, there was no such thing as pressure treating. The timber was kiln-dried first and then soaked in a creosote cocktail for preservation.

[@Rickster1100]

Really a bad choice of wood. Crudely made.

[@tinacofactory]

And all the family with cancer.... oh God!!!

That's true. The guy is a bit loose with safety standards as well.

[@michaellambert5223]

For real! Ties aren’t even really suitable for retaining walls unless gravel surrounded like where they were originally used. Dirt on them rots em in a few years. As for the nice table, I would leave that out on the porch. Open to the sides so it doesn’t trap gasses still escaping the wood.

Last summer the rr tracks were refurbished in my area. They laid out new sleepers for quite a few miles several months prior. This was along the walking and bike path. The creosote sweltering in the summer heat was overwhelming. You literally could not walk there all summer. We should check back in a couple of years and see if any of these people have taken ill from inhaling all that saw dust.

[@timothygeiger8271]

You do realize that railroad ties just sitting there doesn't have saw dust? How would the creosote be worse than when the rr ties were being used? I've been around railroads, railroad ties, & I've used fence posts treated with creosote on the farm for my entire life. The only thing I've gotten from RR ties & fence posts soaked with creosote in 50+ years is creosote getting all over clothing & it doesn't wash out!! Around where i live we use old RR ties for landscaping all the time, never have had any issues, .& we use several ties.
