Rustic Coffee Table Using Scaffold Boards

[@bosse641]

Rustic is the way to go. ....so nice. Well done.

[@makedaevilmage]

It's a pretty looking table. Love the bit of scorching the table to give it some character (back). Great tip I recon.

[@Mr_Judge_Benny_Hinn]

Love simple designs like this! Anyone with a bit gumption could make that type of table in a day...

[@colinaskey9777]

Hi Keith,I really like the coffee table made with old scaffold boards,it's very well made and will be used by whoever buys it,it's earns my 5 ☆ rating

[@chemcody5119]

I wasn't sure about the torch method Keith but it really worked well. I hope you enjoyed your vacation. California is beautiful this time of year especially during harvest.

[@phunkissartisticcreations2316]

Fantastic! That was a great idea of how you overcame the cupping of the boards. REM playing in the back round, awesome!!!

[@merlingallagher4484]

Awesome rustic look! Although, I am actually always amazed how nice wood can look even when it's all worn out, many years old and weathered. You just put it on a saw or a planer, and it's like magic happening right in front of you. Btw, I would recommend using some kind of primer next time on metals. It's just a bit more durable that way.

[@VampyRagDoll]

I love what you did with scaffold boards.

[@markgoode4109]

Great to see this waste wood come out of the skip and to become something so attractive. Excellent video. Best wishes

[@englishmaninengland1451]

I recently found your channel & love it. I can watch your videos all day.

[@marthapotter8283]

I HAVE watched Keith all day!! LOL. Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦

[@a.g.silverbane6335]

Loved your solution to the cupping

[@nickh2519]

I will never manage to make anything so nice with the couple of scaffolding boards I have lying around. The yellow legs are excellent, well done and as ever, thanks for sharing Keith!

[@kevarosenberg]

you can for sure

[@sneakyblackdog]

beautiful job retaining the rustic appearance on the top

[@mallymakings2853]

I really love this. You’re very good at explaining what you’re doing and why. I genuinely look forward to seeing what you’re making next. I hope you have a great weekend. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you!!

[@andrewdavies1312]

Good quality paint. Also Montana gold is good.

[@wizz4392]

Nice job Keith.

[@cobberpete1]

Great looking table Keith. And the splitting of the boards to remove the cup worked very well. Forgive me bragging, but I had to remove slight gaps in a bar top I finished recently. 4 boards, 3 joints.. 4.2m long. Now that was frustrating.

[@yellerbellyworkshop]

Great use of skip wood.. very nice👍

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you!

[@jigsey.]

Excellent video yet again... I was thinking yellow yuck.. until I saw the end result... Bloody good job

[@colinaskey9777]

Another easy to view vidio,certainly not over the top,and to use scaffold boards for a table is spot on,your video is well worth my 5 ☆ rating, take care and be happy

[@ΚΑΤΕΡΙΝΑΠΙΤΣΙΟΥ]

I love the tabletop it is gorgeous and to be honest i didnt expect the legs to be nice thinking that yellow would be too much , but i like them a lot and they much nicely with the floor . Nice job !!!!!!!

[@Thom4123]

Awesome build really cool design. Take Care

[@negotiableaffections]

That water based poly does have a quite a sheen to it, esp as the layers build up. Knocking back every coat with wire wool does help a lot. Neat little table and the paint job stopped the 'legs' from looking too techy against the nice rustic top. Good 'n'

[@spencertrueman6879]

Nice little build Keith really enjoyed it 👍😀

[@bitzbox]

Looks great, and the yellow really pops. Good to see you're a fellow Norfolk boy too

[@CasualDIY]

Great project Keith really like how it came out. The yellow legs are win win! Great design:)

[@felixreali7101]

beautiful project.

[@ronnieahman6958]

Looks great. Nice job. You got nice rustic look to board. Impressive!

[@AliDymock]

Just the style I like. Lovely piece 👍

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers Ali

[@SMee67]

Turned out pretty well, mate👍

[@sneakyblackdog]

Love the rustic top.

[@eeguy77]

When allowing for wood movement you can make a hard connection in the center of the legs with two verticle screws while using the washers on the end. The center screws act as anchors keeping the table squared and centered on the legs while the wood is allowed to expand and contract through the other connections. Good job though. An amazing amount of maker channels don't account for wood movement. And the worst thing that will happen to your table is it might get a little out of square and skewed with the legs, which is easily fixed and better than cracking and warping.

i love the output....

[@garylee4141]

Great video, like seeing items made from recycled materials

[@MattBerryCustom]

Interesting video and nice end result. I’ve been curious about scaffold plank builds as I have a few kicking around so in the highly unlikely event I get some free time I’ll knock something up 😉

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Can’t wait to see it 😉

[@MrWaseemshawwa]

I love your work

[@chrisperry7963]

Really nice! Great job, as always.

[@Woodden]

Very nice project.

[@louisafr7775]

Make more things! This channel is awesome!

[@Thesidingsworkshop]

Looks good mate

[@canavan85]

Great vids. I did attempt a table of slightly larger and found that I’m getting a lot of cupping. Even tho I allowed the wood to dry out before using. Any tips on how to stop this happening. Thanks

[@foxglovemead]

Always like and learn from your videos. Did you show how the bottom of the feet are finished e.g. did you make provision for adding "Ikea style" felt pads or similar so that it won't mark a wooden floor as the leg uprights look like they (slightly) overhang base? In this age of digital choice (and effects), could you offer it for sale on etsy.com showing different coloured legs e.g. also white and cream and see what actually sells (as opposed to generating interest)?

[@no-oneshome3083]

Great video. I saw the other day, on the Sprowston road, the old factory office shop, thats being turned into houses a skip with a load of good looking wood, I remember thinking I wonder if you've seen it. Keep seeing loads of pallets, but I chicken out of asking if they are needed.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

You should ask, the answer is usually yes - go for it! Nothing to lose

[@63256325N]

Thanks for the video.

[@JK-kk6fc]

How on earth do you find all this great wood lying around?!?!? I never find anything useful! But still great job Keith 👍🏻

[@hansdegroot8549]

You went back to your roots! Very informative video and a beautiful end result. Thanks for sharing. Which burner do you use for aging/blackening the wood? Last week I was looking for something similar but was disappointed. Burner costs 15€ but the gas bottle (one time use/disposable/) costs 9€ for 250 grams or so (refillable a small 2 kg propane butane tank costs 7€ and iwould be much more ecological, if only I could find a safe way to connect one to the other)

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I bought this one on Amazon. Still on the first gas canister they seem to last really well! Bond Hardware® Blow Torch Butane Gas Kit Cooking Catering Creme Brulee Culinary Tarts Pies Tool + 4 Refills www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0761Y3FV1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_oOuWBbS6NHXZ6

Great Job

[@kevarosenberg]

Over the past year I have found enough enough abandoned scaffold board and sleeper logs to build 30ft + of counter-height heavy-duty work bench. It looks beautiful, as i have carefully chosen each price for it's appearance. None of it has been treated in any way, yet has been sanded from coarse to fine. I love how it looks. For me, plaining the wood below a millimetre and then sanding after has only aided the natural beauty of the timber. Yet it is bare and prone to stain. I do not recommend wax personally as putting a hot mug of tea on a scaffold board after it has been waxed has in the past resulted in a permanent mark. I bought five litres of Danish Oil, tested this on under sides and I am greatly unhappy with the results to use this as it seems (to me) to exaggerate the colours of the original wood. Some pieces look an awful unripe-banana green and others a beautiful sight. Without the oil the counters are a nice uniform tone, and having tested the undersides with a small dab are then distinct as different woods from different places. So I've decided I don't want to use oil. I was thinking a thin coat of varnish and after reading a lot, I decided shellac was generally recommended. I am no expert, yet my work, carefully measured and re-measured, planed and sanded, speaks for itself; it as all level and exactly as I designed it to be. I'd like to protect these benches yet keep them looking as they naturally do to as great an extent as I can. Can I get a clear shellac that will do the job without discolouration? Is shellac for me? Any suggestions would be massively appreciated as I have to soon move past this construction phase and use these counter-tops day in and day out for the next few years

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Use an acrylic or water based varnish if you want to protect the wood without changing the colour

[@kevarosenberg]

@@RagnBoneBrown Thanks for the direction and for your videos. That sounds affordable too!

[@kevarosenberg]

@@RagnBoneBrown What do you reckon on the Ronseal Interior Varnish? www.wickes.co.uk/Ronseal-Interior-Varnish---Matt-Clear-750ml/p/117953 It says it's non-yellowing and touch-dry in 20 minutes

[@raysmith1992]

A really good project with a modern finish, where did you get the legs from.

[@TheLastSebastian]

Great way to bring new life into a piece of wood and a tin of chopped tomatoes 👍🤣

[@dragonflysdiscoveries7567]

Hello mate, great video. Thanks for sharing. Do you have a link for the "elektra beckum hc260" please? Or have I missed it? Thanks for a great video.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

No longer available to buy but the Metabo 260 is basically the same machine as I understand it

[@shanesmith1982-w8c]

Were do you get your tapes with just millimetres on them. cant find them to easy in Ireland. Looks like a nice handy one

[@RagnBoneBrown]

It’s made by Fisco

[@JAMikdiena]

These screws you are using for fixing tops to the legs are making me crazy :)

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Haha why? #usewhatyouvegot

[@tom_davis]

Great table 🙂 How do you find the neighbours are with the noise from the tools?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I’ve not had any complaints but I try to only use the louder machines during the day

[@barryroberts6470]

Very nice table Keith, never thought of old scaffold boards to make a table? where did you get those legs from?, they look too good to be found in a skip. Barry (Wirral, ENG)

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks Barry! My workplace was throwing away a bunch of coffee tables because the melamine tops were badly worn so I salvaged the legs from them before they went in a skip!

[@felixmooneeram5919]

Nicely done! Where are the legs from?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Salvaged from a skip

[@dlamb2840]

Very Rico Daniels!!! Loved ‘the salvager’!! Next thing you’ll be “givin it a little tickle wif me bewt Saaander ”! Enjoyable upload. Cheers moy son!!

[@jigsey.]

Rico is my inspiration to leaving the UK and setting up a new rural life...

[@CoopersWorkbench]

Did you have to dry them out beforehand?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

They had been in my garage for months and I put them in my house for a couple of weeks before I started

[@Kirkee7]

Nice tat.

[@athmostafa2462]

NICE!

[@nathalie5064]

super job! as always ^^

[@coco-jw2wy]

good

[@thewoodworker1703]

Where do you buy the clear coat you use ? halfords ?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Amazon

[@smoll.miniatures]

Surely you should sight down with the face upwards?

[@OllyParryJones]

An interesting video, Keith. I work with scaffold boards (making furniture) in my current line of work. I like your method for 'flattening' the boards without planing them. To some, a 'hollow' between to mating edges is desirable. Cabinet makers (as I was taught at college) will deliberately do this to allow for the expansion and contraction of each board... Which is something I've never understood as surely, a glued up panel expands and contracts as one component, right? :-) I find it make a glue up easier. More so than having gaps where the ends of boards meet. We also use the same sander. Have you had any trouble with velcro backing pads wearing out and discs flying off? All the best.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks! I use a Mirka pad protector on mine, I’ve had no issues so far

[@OllyParryJones]

Ah, yes, we seem to go through a few of those... But then, we're sanding quite vigorously at times and often with 40g. :-) It's a great sander, isn't it? Almost like an air-powered tool.

[@mato1943]

actualy it looks great with yelow its not my style but somebody more creative can certainly give it a good . use

[@bmac7039]

where'd you get the legs???

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Salvaged from discarded furniture

[@leonidasdamas4645]

Excelentes

[@thekingoftheworld9553]

is using scaffold boards food safe?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

It depends on what they've been used for, how well they're sanded, and how well they're finished

[@justinwilsoncustoms6520]

Trick Keith!!!

[@espjason]

Dont like yellow but do like the project

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers Jason

fantastic reuse. It would have been so easy to completely destroy the look of the wood.

[@hansdegroot8549]

According to Etsy you are on holidays now. Enjoy it!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks Hans. Yes I’m in California at the moment it’s beautiful

[@armaturesmusic]

Kobra is great, it's graffiti paint used by artists.

[@vincentferrari]

Instead of sighting down the board, why not just put a steel ruler on the edge? The gap would be very obvious that way, no?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Two different ways of doing the same thing, both of which work fine

[@vincentferrari]

Rag 'n' Bone Brown I apologize btw. Rereading that comment I came off way dickier than I meant to.
