Shaker-Style White Oak Dining Table | Woodworking Builds

[@DIYCreators]

Hey man, just got around to checking out your videos. The videos are done very well and clear. I'm subscribed now :)

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Wow! Thanks for taking some time out of that crazy schedule to check out my videos brother. Someday I hope to reach your level of hustle. Welcome to the family though Glen, let me know if there is ever anything I can do to help!

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Seeing you in the comments does make me feel just a little bit maker famous BTW :)

[@RCW-Designs]

I honestly could watch a new table build every day. They are always a little different, and there are so many ways to do it.

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

I dare you to say the same thing building and shooting them in a 2 car garage workshop...them things take up so much space. I think my video is just going to be me recovering my shop...

[@onimashou8705]

Watching you work with wood is so soothing,

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Thanks oni!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Man, the rays in that oak are just ridiculous! Nice job.

[@randyrodriguez4643]

That quarter-sawn oak is gorgeous. Nice build!

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

I have always wanted to work with jus a lot of QS white oak, this table was a perfect opportunity.

[@BronkBuilt]

Turned out great. Nice job.

[@markpurcell3763]

Awesome video Rick, I love how you explain why you're doing something as you progress through your projects.

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Thanks Mark! Every time I see your KU avatar I wonder how we can be friends...JK, thanks for the thoughtful comment

[@CheeseBae]

Beautiful table. Nicely done. I want to built one very similar to this, but in black walnut.

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Black walnut is my favorite wood species to work with. It is beautiful and machines so well.

[@scottm9605]

Nice job! I love the idea of leaving the bottom rough to get more thickness, that is super old school traditional too so it really fits with your client's vision. Kudos on the hand planed chamfers, its a nice detail and gives a subtle texture that a router does not. Despite the loud grain the simple design and little features really make this a nice subtle piece.

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

You are a true aficionado of furniture, all of those design details were totally deliberate. Glad you picked up on it, I wish I would've taken the time to explain my thought process, maybe I need to build that more into my videos.

[@scottm9605]

Wood.Work.LIFE. I'll accept the flattery but I think you did a good job calling attention to it. I think it would be super cool if you did a video discussing your design process and how you go about making those deliberate decisions to really build a cohesive piece of furniture

[@HandToolRescue]

Haha, love the ending!

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Thanks man. It’s the little things.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome work Rick! 👍👊

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Thanks buddy!

[@jackbrennan3625]

I love watching you build tables, since it's such a big part of the business. this is were the domino makes it money. keep up the great work!

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Thanks buddy and thanks for the note...Looks like you have been up to a lot lately! This is why the Domino is worth every penny of it's price tag, it paid for itself in one commissioned furniture build. Can't beat that for ROI, eat that Bitcoin.

[@perezwoodworks562]

Awesome table brother! I love the finish - and your Boxer :)

[@jaimelozada4892]

Awesome.. I love it..

[@customdesignnabelsi3613]

Nice Table 👍🏾 , I did not notice if you put something under the table, Me I always put the same finish below that on the table top, It stabilizes more 🙂

[@modustrial]

Another really nice build. Good job!

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Thanks buddy! What’s up next for you? Something crazy with 🤓?

[@modustrial]

Not next, but in the near future. Check my channel tomorrow, I've got a new video coming out that has more production time than anything I've done to date. Does that mean it will be good? Well, that remains to be seen :)

[@robertbrunston5406]

Looks very nice I think! Thank you.

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Thanks so much! Thanks for watching.

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Looks great.

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Thanks!

[@413DaveRN]

I'm not sick of tables... I was just working on a sofa table before watching this!

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Awesome video and table, Rick! That QS white oak is gorgeous.

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Thanks Caleb. Now I just need to stockpile a bunch more and build a couple of Morris chairs.

[@josenewtoncostacosta8079]

Beautyfull 👏👏👏

[@3x3CustomTamar]

Handy dandy... ha! looks great!

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Thanks so much! Your tea box is amazing!

[@ThirdCoastCraftsman]

Oh snap! Thanks for the shoutout bud! And that T-shirt looks mighty good on you! Great build and video man!

[@eliaszavala6291]

Favorite part was your dog. Lolol

[@royhobbs4766]

enjoy your channel

[@TheWoodYogi]

Very nice :) Better the steps get a watering than the table legs :D ॐ

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

I love how he looks right at the camera though with that dead to the world look.

[@WayWoodworking]

Nice work!

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Thanks you very much! What did you like about it?

[@WayWoodworking]

Wood.Work.LIFE. I thought the dominos for tenons was interesting. First time I've seen that.

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Pretty common in production shops. He’s so much time out of the build without sacrificing quality.

[@zzzBEASTMANzzz]

Awesome work! And sweet I thug life pup edit

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

He’s not a smart dog, but he’s sweet though.

[@whitexeno]

popping the grain is pre-sealing part of the grain before applying a stain. Raising the grain is using water/ mineral spirits to cause the fibers to swell so you can smooth the surface even finer.

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Interesting, I have never heard popping the grain referenced for that. I have always called that sealing the grain, or filling the grain. popping and raising have all been used interchangeably in my experience.

[@whitexeno]

@@WoodWorkLIFE woodwhisperer has a video or 2 on it.

[@gromann]

I really need that miter saw

[@MixingGBP]

11:00. When you installed the corner brace, did you add a flat spot to the corner of the leg so as to give the screw a flat spot to go into as opposed to a sharp corner?

[@АлексейПавлов-и5м]

I'd be peeing in this place too! ))) Garbage and dirt! Table 5 points! ))

[@johnbuell8035]

Nice work. Don’t like those loose unfastened cuffs flapping around close to power tools, though.

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Good call!

[@Lordofthefield]

Nice work! One thing you didn’t explain was how you glued up the panel after you only ran one side of the boards through the planer. I guess you had the flat sides on the bottom for the glue-up? Which side ended up being the the top of the table top?

[@PopsKustojo]

Boom!

[@heyimamaker]

The table looks amazing! Any tricks to make sure it sits level?

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

With this one since the frame isn’t super Ridgid it doesn’t have any problems. Most floors aren’t level, so assemble everything right and then use furniture gliders 😂

[@braddaiker3111]

So I am building my first table. Why did you use hand planers on the corners as oppesed to a round over bit and router?

[@kayinrolland]

I couldn’t see in the video, were the legs tapered on two sides?

[@reneeraw6927]

Love It!! “Thug Life”, LoL!!! Hey, how thick is that table top?

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

5/4

[@gc3-]

What size dominos did you use to connect the aprons to the legs? lol. That ending tho!

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Thanks! I used the largest ones from the kit x2. I think the are 8mmx50mm

[@steph3n17]

What was the thickness used for the apron/rails? Thanks!

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

2 and a half inches.

[@IHJR]

Just joined your patreon page to get the plans for this build and they aren’t there. Maybe I just cant find them? Thanks.

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Thanks for joining, I don't have plans for all of my projects on there. But I have renders for this one so I will upload it next week.

[@SD-yb5fx]

You should button those sleeve cuffs if you're going to be working with machinery. Stay safe!

[@The_Altered]

$1.50 bd-ft??? It’s $12.50+ for 8/4+ quarter sawn white oak near me, guess I need to “service” my dealer too

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

😂

[@walterrider9600]

thank you . if it had been my dog it would of been the table sigh.

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Ya most of the time with dummy over here it would’ve been. Fortunately this time it just made for entertaining content. I love the guy, but I wouldn’t call him my shop dog, it would demean the quality of my work.

[@robertcontrada2325]

How hard would it be if i wanted to add leafs for this table?

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Not too hard, you would probably want to add them in the middle. You could either buy or engineer some sort of track system then just make a longer table top initially and cut out the corresponding middle section.

[@robertcontrada2325]

@@WoodWorkLIFE can you estimate the cost of this table?

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

@@robertcontrada2325 with design time for me it'd probably be around 4k

[@DavidSchuVideo]

Awesome video and awesome build! But please, for the love of god CLEAN YOUR CAMERA LENS lol.. at the end all i could see was all the dirt and dust specks ( lol sorry, ) But for real, great stuff man!

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

It was clean...or so I thought. Once you get the shot you just go with it. But ya the whole camera needs a good cleaning. I usually use a up filter to keep dust off the lense.

[@AnnaLiisaWoodSisters]

Love the table, but your dog does not seem to care of your woodwork :P

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

He was not impressed...

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

I know I am sick of tables too...thanks for watching and pardon my use of long dead Memes B) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKa4fJdrpsqrgNk

[@davidslater1225]

thoes sleeves are a accident waiting to happen

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

They’re not as close as they look. It’s called lense compression.

[@jialx]

cool video but the plans aren't free if you have to support on patreon to get them.

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Thanks, I sell them too if you don't want to support me long term. I wouldn't want to make the types of plans I would give away totally for free. Count that when looking at plans, you are getting exactly what you are paying for...

[@CheeseBae]

You used "calls" like a smart person? What is that?

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

Cawls are sticks with a bow in them that you clamp to your table top while you glue it up to keep it flat. They are a very good idea for wide panels.
