Solid Oak Dining Table

[@wiebl5266]

simple, elegant, practical (no obstructions under the table) and very beautiful.

[@zimmejoc]

My heart sank when I saw that tear out, but the fix was dead on perfect. I love the simple lines of the table. I wish I had the knowledge, skills, and tools to do something even half as good.

[@TheOffcut]

Thanks very much! I was relieved to find the piece that chipped out so I could glue it back on. I can't tell which corner it was now!

[@zimmejoc]

@@TheOffcut I think it is great you included some stuff that went wrong in addition to all the stuff that went right. That is fortunate you found the tear off. The repair in the video looks perfect. I couldn't see the problem at all, and I'm glad you can't tell the difference in person too.

[@kushtrimjunuzi]

I want to thank you for this video, I was able to replicate same table for my kids play table 6x3ft, I had to modify little bit but it is looking very minimalistic design and strong structure. Thanks again, btw this is my first comment ever on youtube.

[@TheOffcut]

Thats so cool to hear! Thanks for your very first comment! hahaha

Welcome to KZbin comments. I'll warn you not to get into the habit of trolling. It's an addiction on you'll never overcome.

[@michaeltretina]

Looks great! The finish came out looking amazing. I looked it up, the finish is for hardwood flooring. I didn't think of that, great idea. Good job.

[@rwc323]

Wow, beautiful! Thanks for sharing the process :) Especially that chipped corner. That must’ve been devastating and to me the most cherishing part of the process. You overcame it admirably!

[@TheOffcut]

Thank you! Yes I was quite annoyed about the chipped corner. I thought about just cutting the whole top shorter to get rid of it but luckily i found the chip and it went back into place perfectly.

[@dutdutna5103]

Just realized you upgraded table saws. Nice dewalt. You did A LOT with that Ryobi.

[@TheOffcut]

Hahaha thanks. Yeah, I wore out the gears in the blade height mechanism haha. So I couldn’t move the blade... Hoping the dewalt will last a lot longer!

[@craigmoore1435]

Looks great. Good detail. Clever trick covering the other side of your small pull saw with tape. I recently bought white oak from ititimspec - they organised for it to be D4S and jointed and shipped it to me in Wellington. A bit of a risk with humidity changes etc for a table I made but it seemed to cope well.

[@TheOffcut]

oh nice. Timspec was going to be my next option. Not sure who is cheaper out of all the timber suppliers.

[@craigmoore1435]

@@TheOffcut Oh damn, that was going to be my next question. I paid $5,350 excl GST per m3. I needed just over 0.2 m3 for a table a little smaller than yours.

[@charlesapettit]

Great table, any chance of getting your plans for this build? Thanks.

[@chenzhao1071]

Wanted a simple yet elegant table like this but couldn't find any place that sells anything similar :( don't have the tools to make one either lol, biggest fear is messing up the table top and can't make it flat... Maybe one day!

[@fatmaunalan6949]

Great! I wonder what you are using for polish.

[@charlesschuster7963]

I did a similar table using reclaimed mahogany and learned a couple things the hard way. One, you have to orient each tabletop board so you can plane the surface (1:38) in one direction. If not, the plane will gouge the surface... fill with epoxy later, but it's unsightly. The growth rings on your top boards (some up, some down) suggest they may cup later. That's a small fortune in tools. Facing the boards on a table saw is more properly done on a jointer. You should emphasize that any epoxy has to be absolutely well mixed. The blowtorch on the epoxy is to pop the bubbles that will rise up to the surface, but it's unnecessary if you're going to sand it later. Blind tenons on the legs would have left the completed table a little more attractive. Everyone's a critic... you did a nice job.

[@bartbug1]

[@jimm8465]

Beautiful table. Like the red oak. How come you did not flip the one board that had the knot ?

Beautiful Table...what color of the Osmo wax did you use?

[@namoothewoodprojects]

Great job bro, simple but beautiful design. Also what kind of hand plane block is that? Does anybody know? 🤔

Thank you! Its just a standard Stanley number 5 plane

[@isrightkev]

That table looks amazing! Only wondering why you didn’t biscuit joint the table top?

[@TheOffcut]

Thanks! I didn't feel like it was necessary. The boards were very flat and square so the glue up was pretty straight forward.

[@Looyenss]

biscuits, lol.

[@yuzhang720]

[@zbyleq]

My friend, did it bend ? i see serious problem in that table build at 11:24 other than that, good job and nice tools

[@TheOffcut]

There is no bend after 6 months. The top has expanded slightly but the frame is keeping it nice and flat

[@fatboyblah33]

Nice table bro! love how you did the legs. Where did you get the figure-eight connectors from?

[@joepme20]

Looks great! I see only one big problem.. The core of your boards should be alternating up and down. The board cores of the tabletop are almost all facing down, which will result in a majorly cupped top over time.. Maybe something to take into consideration next time! Besides that, great work!

[@TheOffcut]

Thanks! For some reason I didn't think of that at the time. I think I was more concerned about the sides that looked best for the top. Which unfortunately made them all the same grain direction. It had moved slightly before putting the top on but screwing it to the legs pulled it back down without too much pressure. Only time will tell

[@ValuableFather]

Several people have tested this and found there was no difference.

[@pfrances09]

Is there a step by step tutorial for this? Or a plan in your gumroad?

[@TexasLarson]

Is this white oak? I noticed you do not have plans for this table on your website. Do you have any for purchase?

Dude that turned out great! You must be super happy. Was wondering what finish you used when I saw it on insta - it OsmoX Hard wax [sic?] right?

[@TheOffcut]

Thanks Rob! Very happy with it. A lot of firsts for me, like filling the holes with epoxy. Luckily it turned out good. Not perfect. But good :D. yea its Osmo hard wax oil with a matt finish.

[@ChristopherClaudioSkierka]

Hi what type of plane did you use?

[@TheOffcut]

Stanley number 5 plane

[@ChristopherClaudioSkierka]

@@TheOffcut thank you!!!

[@chronicmango]

Quick question - for the leg assemblies, why did you glue the two pieces along their faces with the half laps in them, so that that internal pressure from the inserted apron side would push outward on the glue joint? If you glued the leg assembly before cutting out the mortise, then rotated the leg assembly 90°, you’d have the internal pressure from the tenon pressing outward on the actual grain of the wood rather than the glue joint, but would still get the same exposed joint look. Is there a reason you cut out the mortises (as half laps) before glueing up the legs? Ease of use? I know it’s easier to run them over the table saw rather than hack out with a chisel lol. Just curious if there was another reason you made that call that I’m not thinking about. Beautiful build and I appreciate your touches.

[@TheOffcut]

Thanks! It was purely because it was easier to cut and assemble that way. I'm not too worried about the joint pushing outwards on the glued face.

[@Fuyudo]

Am I dumb or are the plans not on the website anymore ?

[@yuxinleigh1554]

Hi mate, could you advise where you got the 8 shape hardware?

[@Baerenbruder87]

Great work!How did you create the offset between table top and leg?

[@TheOffcut]

Thanks! Not too sure what you mean but It might be the chamfer on both the legs and top to give it a negative detail

[@nszecket]

Nice work. Can I ask which sanding nets you use and where you buy them?

[@TheOffcut]

They are the Mirka Abranet sanding discs

[@LanceZheng]

what's the thickness of the boards? where do you get these joint and planed boards?

[@TheOffcut]

it is 32mm. I got a local joinery company to do it for me

[@SkylaneGuy]

I like the figure 8 clips for attaching the top. I’ve used those too. One question: what do you have against using a dado blade for making the tenons? Seems like it would save you a lot of work.

[@TheOffcut]

I don't have anything against dado blades. I wish I had dado blades. I haven't been able to find them in New Zealand and I'm not sure if my table saw arbor will fit them

[@7MrElement]

@@TheOffcut they don't fit on a Dw745. Carbatec sell dado blades too.

[@mowcius]

Most saws outside of the US don't have arbors long enough to take them as they're considered to be a non-essential device with a significant reduction in safety (no riving knife, no blade guard), so various regulations forbid them.

[@raymondcheng9977]

how many hours would this take for a beginner to make?

[@jon0807]

3 years later, how is the table holding up?

[@TheOffcut]

Really well! Have seen minimal movement from the bench top. Have re applied osmo to the top once so far but will do it again soon.

[@blueace115]

what about wood movement for the top?

[@TheOffcut]

The figure 8 washers allow for movement as they can rotate around the screw. they are not screwed in tightly. Just enough to keep the top down

[@samstewart-anderson7814]

why use tablesaw and jig instead of straight router bit for rebate? cheers

[@TheOffcut]

I could have used the router to do it. I just thought it was easier to do it on the table saw and not get as messy with all the sawdust. A router table would have been best but I don't have one yet.

I see the figure 8 fastener mistake all the time. Obviously way too late, but you can’t put those on the sides. It will lock it in place and do the exact opposite of what you’re looking for. Just a heads up.
