This is my very first dining table build. The design is quite simple and modern but I wanted to give some detail with the joinery. The oak had some defects which I filled with epoxy which I think gives it more character. I'm also trying out the Mirka Deros orbital sander. This thing is amazing and did so well on the oak.

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.

[@wiebl5266]

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

[@f1rstclass289]

I love this, very classy and minimalist.

[@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.

[@runyik]

[@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.

[@alastairleung1883]

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

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!

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!

[@fatboyblah33]

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

[@fatmaunalan6949]

Great! I wonder what you are using for polish.

[@johndelarosa3197]

Hello Brother, I found it interesting that you put the short 45 degree braces on the outside of the corners of the table rather than on the inside. Nice 🙏

[@Stephanie.vu_]

Can you link the hard wax you used? Trying to refinish my oak dining room table

[@johnmanfra4224]

Beautiful table what grit did you use for the sandpaper on the top for finish and also what product did you use for finish?

[@jimm8465]

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

[@hewittgordon8843]

Nice job. What finish did you go with ???

[@bobk7132]

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

[@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

[@VlauableFather]

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

[@namoothewoodprojects]

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

[@TheOffcut]

Thank you! Its just a standard Stanley number 5 plane

[@pfrances09]

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

[@raymondcheng9977]

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

[@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

[@Layput]

Where can I buy that number 8 connector?

[@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.

[@johnmanfra4224]

What type of tape are you using and can you link your epoxy set up

[@vincenttapin4420]

Where can I find the the plan of this table ?

[@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.

[@TakamiWoodshop]

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.

[@ZaneBezesky]

Beautiful. Are your table legs 1.5” or 2”? They look perfect. Curious as to the dimensions for my own table.

[@osm3slsd]

OSMO OIL !

[@ronin2963]

Very novel approach to the legs.

[@Pjai1984]

Awesome table! can you also list where you get your timber from in NZ? cheers bro

[@nszecket]

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

They are the Mirka Abranet sanding discs

[@TexasLarson]

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

[@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.
