The most elegant table . !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I really like the contrast of the legs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Round tables are more delicate !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@woodworkingandepoxy643]

Lol took me til you showed them as a whole to realize the cultural difference and you were talking about pool cues for a pool table. That's an amazing table. These videos are so addictive

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you

[@felixreali7101]

love this one too. i used to play snooker and it's so cool to see cues used like this :-)

[@Poor_Mans_DIY]

Brilliant idea! Using a cue as legs would never even cross my mind! Absolutely love it. My wife and I enjoy watching those who think outside the box!

[@Badgerworkshop]

I really like the angles of the top

[@TheWardagh]

Great work 👍🏼

[@63256325N]

Thanks for the video.

[@NitroMaxOriginal]

Your commentary has improved ten fold, nice table !

[@panithanuth]

Nice table..thank for share

[@StuffUCanMake]

Thanks for teaching me the water trick. Great video!

[@andymarriott8150]

A very nice unique table Keith. The wetting the table before sanding is a great tip too

[@JohntheSchreiner]

Love the cues as the legs, that looks awesome!

[@JHA854]

Okay this is seriously awesome, one of your best.

[@accessfm]

Lovely finish Keith. Job well done.

[@jp_makes]

Nice one, turned out great. I liked how you drilled the angled holes.

[@azza1793]

Great project Keith, i admire your using salvaged materials ethos, keep them coming mate 👍

[@tropicaltanktv]

Great looking table, Keith. Your projects are always creative and inspiring!

[@SuperNutcake]

This is such a cool project. Good work Keith

[@Cradley684]

Really great table Keith love the legs !!!

[@spunkmeyer43]

Unusual, i really didnt think Id like the cue's as legs but looks Brilliant... 👍👍👍

[@socialdrg6061]

great video Keith, love the profile on the tops sides it came out really well!

[@johnhartley3596]

Love the jig you made.

[@christopherjohns9956]

love this! would love to also see a table with the cues as legs but a green felt and mahogany top, inspired by a snooker table.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I like the idea! Drinks and felt probably don’t mix well but a glass top over the felt would be cool

[@loopedmess]

Green stain top ebony stain edges. Just thinking aloud, kinda

[@yellerbellyworkshop]

Great use of the cues. Looks good dude 👍

[@briansworkshop01]

Nice job looks great 👍👍👍👍

[@chillyspoon]

That came out great

[@salsolo2403]

beautiful job Keith !! well done x

[@leanneevans4080]

This is beautiful!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

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

[@bidders77]

what a fab find a nice idea, looks great!

[@theislandworkshop8453]

Instead of water you can use sand in sealer, thinned down a bit. That really helps, you can then sand it down and apply finish. Great project I love the legs.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks I will try that

[@Bill.L.Carroll]

Nice work, mate👍 Looks sweet.👌

[@nathalie5064]

looks really nice ^^ great job!

[@alibuolayyan9038]

Very good job 👏

[@ronnakeil3313]

Nice

[@Everythings_Adjustable]

Lovely job 👍

[@theriggsworkshop8606]

Great project mate , it would look awesome in my snooker room to rest my pint on ...if i had a snooker room ..or if i drank beer ! So i guess it would still look awesome by the sofa 😉

[@JakeThompson]

Pretty cool project Keith!!

[@bogsdolics]

Hi Keith nice one , I have an old cue so far all I have come up with is to cut of the narrow end and use as paint stirrer , G.

[@hiveofactivitysussex6924]

Street Legal, good choice.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Yay!

[@athmostafa2462]

Interesting table !🔨👍

[@elizabethamizdail7939]

Excellent!!!

[@chemcody5119]

The table came out nice Keith. Have you thought about building a circle cutting jig for your bandsaw? Much safer and adjustable for various size circles.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I already had the tablesaw jig and don’t have space for too many jigs, plus the tablesaw is a bit more accurate

[@Mr_Judge_Benny_Hinn]

Snooker Loopy nuts are we!

[@shane555]

This is lovely fella. I reckon with the work that goes into your stuff, you're probably underpricing your stuff on Etsy! Great, informative video as usual.

[@roberthall9121]

If I'm not sure if there is an metal in any wood I test with a small handheld metal detector which you can buy from Amazon for around £15

[@DebsHill1]

Love it

[@barryroberts6470]

Very nice build Keith. The metal in the legs i think you will find it is lead, years ago when they made cues, everyone wanted a different weight of cue, some liked a light one and some a heavy one, to do this lead was put into the bottom of the cue. I am sure your blade should be ok, lead is a softer metal easier to melt and shape, it's also used for Fishing Weights as well. I used to play Snooker and did some Sea Fishing, but not at the same time ha ha ha. Barry (Wirral, ENG)

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks Barry. I think you’re right because I used the saw today and the blade looked and cut fine. I think I got away with it! Cheers, Keith

[@Tom_Prendiville]

I've been watching you for a very long time and I wasn't aware or you having that jointer planer. Great video as always keefy 😉

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers! I don’t get it out very often as setting it up takes time. Hopefully I’ll have a bigger shop some day and can leave it set up!

[@Tom_Prendiville]

@@RagnBoneBrown I had a quick flick through your older videos and there is one from about a year ago where you are talking through the setup of it. I'm sure you will get where you want to be, just look how far you have come already 👍

[@alasdairmackenzie515]

Nice one, Keith! Re the metal in the cue... I rather think they were sometimes given a wee lump of Lead to give 'em some oomph. Maybe it didn't do too much damage to your sawblade... Best aye.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks Alastair I think you may be right as the blade seems fine. Phew!

[@jtotheb-ip2hh]

great job, Keith! i thought maybe you could add some sort of snooker-related inlay in the top and sell it to a local pool hall for $$$!!!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

That would be very cool!

[@cobberpete1]

A very nice Table Keith. That's twice I have seen you use the Table saw to cut circles, and you made a comment about being a bit dodgy. Have you thought about making a Band saw circle jig??? Quite simple and adjustable to even bigger than the table tops you have just made. Maybe that could be a project video for the future. ( just seen a similar comment below). You could also use a Router circle Jig, again easy to make / use. I have both and use them quite frequently. How come Peter M hasn't talked you into a spray set up LOL.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I’m quite comfortable using the tablesaw jig. It’s one of those things that are dangerous if you don’t know what you’re doing, which is why I mention it in the video because I’d hate for someone to try it and have a mishap. Besides, I can’t be bothered to make another jig for the router or bandsaw when I already have one for the tablesaw and I don’t have space for loads of jigs either. I have just got a sprayer funnily enough! Haven’t unpacked it yet and have no idea how to use it!

[@terryhilder3315]

that table turned out really good. was there any damage to your mitre saw blade in the end?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks! The teeth look fine and it cuts just as well so I think I got away with it

[@davidcollier6180]

Nice yet another brilliant project did you think about using the wood with the imperfections and filling with resin ?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks, I’d rather not have the imperfections in this particular build as I wanted to keep the top quite clean so that the legs were more of a focal point, but yep it would have been an option and may do something like that in future

[@michaelwillson6847]

A think this is beautiful. Seen a similar thing done by a guy on KZbin in America cam Anderson @blacktailstudio he done this with copper pipe. Can I ask did u buy the ques or you find them? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

[@scottmclean6301]

Really great creative thinking. Surely the slab of beech wasn't free??

[@RagnBoneBrown]

No that wasn’t free sadly!

[@davidwilliamson2115]

Why not use a jigsaw to cut the circle?

[@michaelevans1658]

Nice job Keith ,have you ever tried making legs with a wooden thread so they screw in ?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

No I wouldn’t know where to start! And I’m not sure I’d trust wooden threads over time, although I know some have had success with it

[@JoeGP]

the saw blades made for cutting wood and those for cutting metal, both use carbide tips, are those tips any different from one to another ? i kinda don't think so, their angles and stuff might be different, but cutting a bit of metal should not really damage a wood cutting blade

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I’m not sure tbh but the blades I have aren’t designed for cutting metal. They seem ok though despite hitting metal occasionally!

[@loopedmess]

Mr Paris is crying right now

[@KoHcTaHTuHAkuMoB]

👍

[@jordanallison7105]

I don't understand what caused the sparks if you sawed into the legs by hand and found no metal??

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Either there was metal inside some of the cues and not others or I didn’t saw through exactly the same spot ... who knows! 🤷‍♂️

[@webchimp]

I'm guessing the snooker cues are going to be the new coat stands. Quietly breeding out of sight so there's always a couple left for a new project.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I hope so!

[@FrostyKix]

I'm a little confused. What caused the chop saw to throw sparks if there was no metal inside the legs? Were the cuts on the chop saw and hand saw just made in different places?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

There was metal inside them, but for some reason when I made the cuts to some of the cues with a hacksaw/old handsaw I didn’t hit metal, and when I used the mitresaw, I did - just unlucky I think!

[@zephatjeeeeeeeee]

SECOND =D nice job mate!

[@robinwheatley7789]

Did I hear a bit of Dylan playing in the background Keith?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Yep, huge Dylan fan 👍

[@ddm3125]

Bob Dylan!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

ALL DAY EVERY DAY

[@uknowulikethat4042]

nice work, I guess Steve Davis and some of his mates thumbed this down

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Haha!!

[@ocelot2234]

Could you make me one 😀

[@RagnBoneBrown]

You could buy this one! 😃

[@Dutchshedwoodshop]

Such a cool project! Why can't i find stuff like this around the corner haha.. your sandingblock video inspired me to make one to. Uploaded the vid today. If you like check my channel 👌

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Checked it, really cool!

[@Dutchshedwoodshop]

@@RagnBoneBrown Thanks! 👊

[@aiden7406]

Are these going to last like the hat and coat stands? 😂

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I hope so!

[@doyle201206]

Nice table but £240, wow.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Why wow??
