Super Simple Modern Dining Room Table

[@dandenoth]

Hey, a woodworking video that isn't pushing affiliate links and titling everything with clickbait! It's a breath of fresh air over here.

[@dandenoth]

For the record, I do appreciate the links in the description for the tools you do use!

[@dougjones3490]

Right?! It's just cringewothy to see some of these videos where their clothes, tools, walls, all decorated like they're simping for someone. Showing all the specialty tools to do super basic things.

[@benjamintan2893]

O

[@sqnhunter]

@@dougjones3490 Yeah...that really detracts from the basics, they are trying to impress you with!

[@jiojimenez1120]

Wow love that table!!!!

[@haroldmerrell1257]

It is nice to see someone build something that is that nice out of materials the common newbie can afford and build. Thanks for your content it is very enjoyable and helpful.

[@Amanzi379]

Would a newbie have all the kit he has?

[@shannon1872]

​@@Amanzi379 That's kind of Subjective, but the average home owner will probably have a Drill, sander and circular saw. You can rent the planer, table saw and router from a local tool rental place. Or most can be bought for 100 or less each on Facebook market place. Not to put words in your mouth, but I think I get what you are implying/asking. There are a lot worse offenders on KZbin that say hey you can build this simple thingy for cheap....then bust out a CNC machine, Industrial size planer and lathes and stuff lol. The build here looks nice and is simple to follow ....curious how hard it would be to build matching chairs or a bench seat. I am just kind of getting into this as a hobby and plan to try and build this as my first go at a table. Thanks for the video !!

[@tjcib]

​@@Amanzi379I was thinking the same. Table top isn't $1000, but he uses about $1000 worth of clamps 🤣🤣🤣

[@cityfiedredneck6841]

Nice results. And not a Festool product in sight! Very refreshing. And a "BTW" .... that was a spade bit you used toward the end. Not a Forstner bit.

[@TheLarsen62]

This is clearly one of the best channels available as a learning tool for beginners and I really appreciate the clear explanations and the pace of these videos. Hope you keep posting these and thanks a ton for the effort you put into them.

[@macventurezrn7143]

I like that under table brace Idea. Might have to copy that on my next table project. Great Video!

[@cassityart7001]

Exactly the table I have been looking for! However I have no work shop or tools. I made an end table out of a small piece of butcher block and added black metal legs and finished it with Rubio.

[@qodesmith520]

What a gorgeous table. Home Depot is getting a visit from me...

[@doug9121]

Great job table looks great, very informative. Nice to see someone giving plans away to everyone for no charge. Thank You and I will continue watching for new things to come.

[@alicat398]

Really clear and good table that many could build. C channel is a great idea. I used scaffold boards once that warped badly and that would of helped. I will try again with the 6x2.

[@BsBucWiLD]

Your video is MUCH more helpful than the $10,000 table videos, cause you made a nice inexpensive table... Thanks for the video!!!

[@cheryltaylor107]

I really enjoyed watching ur build something a newbie can make. Love to see you do a coffee table. Thank you for the plans.

[@bendavisson1264]

Great table! Instead of the metal brackets, I just screwed in some 1x2 wood beams to the bottom and it works great. I also did a dark walnut stain on the whole table. I wish I could post a photo of the finished product.

[@nighcruzade]

Nice table, well estructured video, I found it very useful, materials that you show are not expensive at all, the only thing, I think not everybody have is the planer, but live is not ideal, just go and find a solution. Well done.

[@michaelgarcia278]

I just subscribed to your channel. This was the second build video that I've watched and all I can say is that I really enjoyed them. Now I got to make time to watch your other videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@chrishuesing5663]

man im gonna tell u what iv really enjoyed watchin ur videos. your channel is one of the best iv seen for hobbiest. thank u for doin what u do

[@mateuszpawlik5522]

I was looking for an idea for wooden legs for my massive, 3m (10 feet) long desk, and I am so glad I saw your video. Thank you.

[@charlesfe]

I have been jointing and planing some construction wood all weekend for... some display thing my wife wants me to build her for craft shows. I was thinking the pieces I ended up with could almost be used to make a table - then I stumble on this video, and I need a new dining room table. Perfect!

[@rudygeorge8048]

This a great tutorial and project. I have an oak church bee I have planed flat and I may give it a go.

[@pcer9973]

The comments on some of these woodworking videos are just stupid, acting like over time, you couldn't buy a few second-hand tools. Great table, man, and good ideas. I really appreciate it.

[@FairDingo]

oh bullshit. he made a table top and bought some legs - wow...

[@pcer9973]

@FairDingo Aside from bitching, sucking dick and putting others pieces of work down. What have you done in your last couple of videos?

[@JoeStewart-j7y]

I used your workbench video to make my workbench, which I made 4' x 8' and I have my Dewalt portable tablesaw in the end of it. So I figured I'd try your dining room table for our daughter. She'll probably want chairs.

[@MrTokyoholmsey]

Hi from Tokyo. Great design. Just what I was after for the balcony.

[@CarlCowart]

Excellent video. I have looked for a dinning room table and this is it.

[@lawts78]

I’m just starting out and want make the dining table for our new dining room. And this is frikin epic! Thanks so much. This is inspiring 👍🏻

[@kathydailey3052]

I loved you video. The directions were easy to understand. Thank you

[@Miss_SJay]

I built this table as my very first wood working project and 🥴🥴🥴 It took me FOREVER and I needed a lot of tools that I didn’t already own. I’m just happy to be done. Thanks for the vid and plans!

[@thompsign]

Same boat I was in, every time I start a project, I need another tool or another clamp😂 eventually we'll have all the tools to get it done quick and easy😊💪

[@johnd5773]

That's a great looking table! I've always been amazed at what can be built with construction lumber when you take the time to let it acclimate and do a bit of milling. I add a few drops of superglue to threaded inserts to help them resist being pulled out from overtightening. Like I said-- great build and thank you for sharing!

[@BearMountainBuilds]

The superglue is a good idea. I’ll have to try that next time I use threaded inserts

[@matkofish6737]

​@@BearMountainBuildsHello, please, what is the manufacturer, model, name of the workbench you have in the workshop? Well thank you.

[@SkydivingSaloka]

Great build! I would definitely recommend gluing in the threaded inserts, adds a lot of strength

[@i12cook]

Hats off mate absolutely BRILLIANT you are extremely talented. Your table looks awesome. Great video 10 out 10. Well done 😊

[@tommyweeks8289]

Great looking table and great video as usual. Just downloaded the plans, I have been wanting to build a table for sure and may be one of my first builds in my new shop as soon as I have the electrical run.

[@fartinbrundle5495]

Loved this video,setting up my own shop in the UK as I want to do what I enjoy as I approach retirement,my family all worked with wood and I just want to see if I can do it

[@WalterArgueta]

Buying a house soon and this is super inspiring

[@barryvenditti614]

This is really clean and simple design,beautiful actually. I wish it were beautifying my home. Job exceedingly well done. Wonderful video too. 😊

[@ImranKhan-rc1do]

Couldn't be more simple and couldn't be more elegant!

[@jasonbevan1588]

Brilliant job.Perfection with wood working 👌

[@jeffreyknotts4148]

Beautiful, simple, and perfectly at home in my kitchen! Thanks!

[@ivonnebeltran1633]

Love it , I wanted to build my own table,

[@sqnhunter]

Its a good functional design. Very presentable. I recently made 4 large wood top tables for an extension to my BBQ Garden Restaurant. I used the same technique to make the table top...but used 2 1/2" 14 gauge metal tube for the legs, exactly as you did with wood. Like yourself, I would have gone with wood, except my workers are known to regularly drag the tables across the gravel base when cleaning up. Lazy buggers. It also saved having to use the channel brackets, as we attached the top directly to the tube frame. I have to say, you do make it look a bit easier than what it really is!

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Great idea with the tubes!

[@hoanginout]

nice job man! was thinking about building my own dining table so this gave me extra motivation. Appreciate you!

[@vaninamatalevu3753]

Love your work mate awesome.. Watching from Fiji

[@SgtStanton]

Even without a planer you can go for a rougher look that will pop with the right stain, I will be building a smaller version of this and honestly will consider building countertops with this design

[@spencerwilliams9256]

Friendly suggestion, put some leveling feet on that. The flat bottom of the legs may warp in time and the table might wobble. Also, I spotted a crack in the table between boards (4:17). It looked small but maybe you should point that stuff out and how you deal with it. It looks like you probably cut it off. You could add length and style to the table by adding a breadboard in the future. Also, I saw on bourbon moth how Jason fills the seams on his cabinet tops for painting and even though his project was plywood with wood edging, once it was painted it was completely seamless. A similar technique on the nice legs you made could increase the wow. Cool project. Keep going.

[@vmoutsop]

Great video. I like that your channel actually builds things as opposed to talking about building products.

[@IddyBiddyBubbles]

This video made me realize I’m in way over my head about building my own table. Facebook market place it is for me 😅

[@davidpardo9508]

I will be attempting to build one for my home. I will let you know how it goes!

[@davidpardo9508]

I literally just bought a pocket hole jig and a cutting guide for my saw off Amazon. Doing it the most inexpensive way possible

[@kenburgess4990]

I really like this table. I don't have a workbench large enough to clamp up the table top boards. How would you do it if you didn't have the large surface to clamp the boards together?

[@BearMountainBuilds]

I would recommend the pipe clamps I used and put them on the floor. I’ve built many things just on my floor

[@natanaelagusdharmawan7842]

Waow mantap sangat kreatif sukses selalu GBU

[@NshimiyimanaCharles-ii6jv]

Very nice we need you in Rwanda

[@pawjeppesen-ifttttricks605]

Looks great. To small details. Would have painted the bolts and washers for the c-channels and legs. And put a stretcher between the bottom of the legs.

[@CharmleysChopShop]

If you haven't purchased yet, I highly recommend the delta 36-725T2. I really like mine a lot and it is super quiet. Takes some modifications to get the dust collection perfect but all and all a great table saw

[@KickDrumKid23]

I would highly recommend pocket holes and screws on the underside to keep all the boards together for extra strength.

[@rondakaycock]

Love that work table!!

[@xbakero4363]

A friend mine built me an office/computer table something similar to this one. He even added a metal bar under the front and back of the table so it won't bend in the middle and also for cable management.

[@MrHandwerk]

Nice Video! 👍🏻

[@alexbe32]

Great test run before using some expensive hardwoods.

[@BuzzardsRoostWoodcraft]

Great build. I’m building my first vanity after watching your vanity video. That’s for the content

[@MeanGuy0109]

Thanks for you content, I find it helpful and it's good to see that for someone who is new to wood working doesn't have to spend thousands of dollars to create nice things.

[@tonyking6381]

Was a pleasure to watch. Can't wait to build using your plans.

[@OmiSido]

Construction lumber for a tabletop - lucky you! In the UK, the construction lumber is so wet that this table will warp even with metal reinforcement. I’ve already tried and failed multiple times 😀

[@travisblogstravis4367]

Hey one thing you can do is do the table I. Sections so it’s small enough to send through your planer and then glue up each section after that

[@evertonmeikle7455]

I need a table for my back porch and will make one like this. Love it.

[@mattsb5196]

Inspirational. I may give this a try

Awesome video and very well explained. Only true experts can share the information in the most concise way. What about some matching chairs with a similar leg structure?

I might build some chairs someday

Very cool turned out beautiful

[@edithmillan1094]

Love it!! I just need to buy all those tools and learn how to use them and then I will make my own table 😢😅..

[@BearMountainBuilds]

You got this!

[@Scott-n3q]

I know cedar is a soft wood and more for an outdoors application, but are there any other considerations if I go that route? I like the look and how it takes stain. So am going to try that.

[@anthonyfusco9768]

That’s a cool looking table. ❤. thank you for posting.

[@braelyn.gracee]

I found your video while looking for DIY ideas for a wooden dining room table. I like the use of inexpensive materials. Your attention to detail made for a great finished product! How has it held up under use?

[@BearMountainBuilds]

It's done great! I eat dinner on it nearly every night.

[@braelyn.gracee]

@@BearMountainBuilds, thank you for the quick reply! You really do some amazing work! My best to you on all future projects.

[@daneasy7656]

Awesome table thank u for keeping it real

[@lanti3904]

Please build a dinner table for big family, ❤ from India

[@WoodUCreate]

One thing I was thinking if you did a small 2-3 degree angle on the legs, so that they would "toe-in" from the ends, might give it a nice appearance as well. At first I though you had steel legs, but the wood looks great. Nice build out of common lumber, no time to put a leaf in there...LOL

[@xxxescorpio]

Do you have a video on how to create just the legs for a dining table. By the way great ... great looking table..

[@BearMountainBuilds]

I don’t have a video that’s dedicated to making the legs but I do cover it in this video

[@marshak1926]

Thank you. Nice table

[@ericolson6135]

Totally agreeing with @TheLarsen62's comment. This is a great channel for learning and I sincerely appreciate it. I have a question though - why use paint and poly instead of General Finishes or Rubio Monocoat? Not trying to start a "which is better" convo, I legitimately would like to know. I would have wanted to add something like Rubio (but that's just me)

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Rubio Monocoat is a high end finish and that comes with a bigger price tag. The main reason I don't use it is I like to keep my projects as inexpensive as I can for people who do woodworking as a hobby or side hustle. I would definitely use it on a butcher block counter top because it's food safe and needs to be able to withstand daily wear and tear.

[@Wandafuldesigns]

​@BearMountainBuilds is it water based polyurethane?

[@johnisley4578]

Top Work & Explanations !

[@davegravel3740]

My workplace needs a new table in the break room. This is perfect but will be made with the 2x4s they use the the pallets. Benches too. The challenge will be getting straight boards with no bark. Every so often they get a decent bundle.

[@BearMountainBuilds]

Good luck!

[@michaelfollett2562]

Awesome content on your channel man! Good work!

[@halimehb4289]

So good

[@engrxtn]

What do you think of doing something like this with cedar for outdoor? Do you think the table top will warp with full exposure to weather?

[@BearMountainBuilds]

I think that would be great, but I would probably add another C channel

[@jeffreyjbyron]

How do you keep it from warping when it dries? Do you just keep it away from heat and sunlight? Looks great!

[@BearMountainBuilds]

The legs and C channels will resist warping along with the boards glued together. If you really want to lock it down you could add a cross brace between the two legs and mount it to the table

[@AnalystAndy]

I just bought a table for 1K. It looks great. And it was so cheap! I saved 5k in equipment, 6k annually for the workshop rent, and at least 20 hours of my own time. Nah. Totally fucking with you. Great job, mate.
