 I'm back ready for more but down here working on this wood so long of turning into a Degeum Elf, but here is our brush and sanded wood that's gonna be a base of our tabletop really happy the way it turned out So now what we got to do is join these together and I went out and I got this tool It's called a Craig jig. I mean it's called a jig. That's kind of what I wanted to buy But what the jig does is it allows you to join corners like that? Originally how I planned on doing this cutting the ends at 45s and then placing them together But to be honest with that I wasn't sure how to join those corners with this tool the Craig jig and I spent so much data money on it I wanted to make sure I used The jig and all the screws that came with it because I felt like I'd be wasting money But it makes it real nice a real nice snug fit structurally and then also it just looks real good Just look at that wood y'all. Isn't that fantastic? It's even got some of the original nails This table is going to be awesome for so many reasons But I think one of the main reasons is because I'm building it when I put my microphone and my louvers on this table I'm knowing I built this deck up there. I did something with my life. Okay enough chit chat. Let's get to making some pocket holes Drilling into super old wood I'm a little nervous When you pull this thing out went through a little knot there. Jeez That was a toughie. So this will be on the inside of the table This is the top and that'll be the inside then I'll screw these in and it'll connect And then you won't see anything from the outside, but it's a super strong connection Let's put our first corner together. Shall we? Oh from what I can tell That turned out pretty nicely with the pocket holes my first time doing that Clampies monster help because when you start drilling in those pocket holes Things want to twist and move on you gonna do that same setup Right y'all and we're gonna have three parts of the table. Then we just gotta put one more on there. We got four corners You've been uh up and at it this morning. You woke up to this. I woke up to that that thing is awesome So that's the foundation. That is the stronghold of the table. That's frame. I love it How there's like character marks in it and everything look how good that is Yeah, I mean it's gonna be a great table. It used to be like on Display or something. Oh, it's gonna be on display on this camera to the fish of freaks I'm not going to be destroying like a week and a half. I need hydration and I need meat All of this wood started out this way It started out looking crusty gross Look like things have pooped on it for a long time. This one's probably got some old lead based paint on it Which is why I'm wearing this mask probably not OSHA approved, but I'm gonna wear it anyway We're gonna put some TLC into this border right here This is gonna be our last one to complete the the whole planks of the table real nice Let's get to cleaning up. I don't even know what this was I don't know why that is so green under there. That's just green paint Like it was on the side of a barn or something painted John Deere green Boards are no longer crusty and they look pretty good and I found a few other ones that had these cool I don't know if that's like old oil stain marks or burn marks But it gives it some pretty neat little character I've never worked on a wood project like this and I don't know what I'm doing So I've been taking my time because I know this is special wood and I don't want to screw it up Plus it's going in my office. It's gonna be on a ton of videos gaps in the cracks clean ready to go I'm gonna throw a wood glue inside of here Then I'm gonna squeeze them together like an angry bear for probably 12 to 24 hours And then place it inside of our rectangle Probably gonna have to do some sanding as well. It's a little fitting adjustments. There's still a lot more to go But when this thing is done, I'm gonna be a proud man. I've done measurements. I've done work the wood good I've sanded. I've sniffed it a few times It's ready to be a table now Show them what we have vision it Vision it Look at it. It's all about vision. Look at it. Can you see it? Can you envision it? This old wood transformed into something absolutely gorgeous. Look at all this awesome grain It's gonna match the fish cave perfectly I'm super happy with it Sense of accomplishment every day when you're doing something like this There's a cold front coming in we got to put the wood game on pause and then we got to get our dangling So I'll see you back here in a few So it's back to more grinding and brushing and grinding until we get the perfect fit But this is going to be a nice perfect smooth top Hey No Pregnant lady crossing coming through I'm good. I'm out. I was she out I don't like when she meanders because she ends up finding things that I have to fix i.e. honeydoos So before we go getting all saw happy we got to make some measurements The width of our table is approximately 28 and seven eighths inches So that means we're going to be cutting pieces of wood that are 14 and around three eighths inches And we're going to make those into 45 degree angles so they wedge themselves up into the 90 degree corners God bless power tools. I just checked one of my boards All the other corners are this family of wood right here from the same plank and this one is different slow We're growing smaller rings harder. This one's a faster growing lighter This one's just not going to do I need one more of these now does that really matter for the structure of the table absolutely not But how many days i'm in this thing? I don't even know. I'm in a vortex of table build I want to be able to say I went 100% on my outdoor man fish cave place I built the wall built the table up at the cabinetry I did it all with 100 effort and nobody can take that away from me ever One of these days i'm going to build a workbench. That's my next thing why All right, this next step is going to have to wait all again here is just All around me. I think this cool front that came in has got these mosquitoes super active And I've got one of these thermosil unit so I can hardly breathe around But they don't care They're all up in that thing. Welcome back. It's happening. It's coming together pocket holes I was able to drill some and not get destroyed by the mosquitoes. Probably enough I just realized i'm wearing a skeeter shirt But i'm going to digress on to the next step which is mounting our four Inside frame pieces. It's a big moment here. So corners are braced. I made a boo-boo right here There should be pocket holes right there, but there's not But they're on the other side. So the boards are going to be laying Like this I've laid these boards inside of the frame and it's looking fantastic And there's about a 16th of an inch on each side of clearance So it fits in there really tight and then I got to figure out how to Put these together on here where there's not going to be any shifting at all But we have come a long ways on this party It is time to go mobile I've reached a point in this table build where my tools and my knowledge are no longer able to push this table forward I need knowledge. I need advancement. And that's where Lance comes in ladies and gentlemen We are at an advanced workshop here. This is my buddy Lance's workshop. There isn't a thing in here. He has made All these cabinets all these tables All these tools well, some of me didn't make but everything in here is is advanced tools for projects Crafting there might be an acronym there advanced tools for projects and crafting Anyways, he's got everything a man would ever need to craft wood. He's great at it Let me quickly show you guys the advanced work. This this guy does. Okay. He built this table This is a carpenter's table, right? It's a woodworking table right here a woodworking table And that's put together by these These are called dogs take this butt it against there if this is a piece of wood move all this paper and stuff other way and paint Pop this one up put that right there. Take this and put it down and bam that ain't moving So all these wheels are functional. They're all functional and you take this and you just spin it like that And this thing ain't going nowhere didn't go to weather for junior college for trade craft You know where I learned all this? YouTube good old youtuber You went into a wood hole. This is all I have right now. I have one of these and I have this tool belt right here Lance I'll tell you something out of all the equipment I have and all the years of woodworking I don't know the tool belt. You don't know but I own these pants right here Years of glue How many uh projects have been uh contributed to those pants everything I've ever done everything in here I own these from weatherford. So there's like at least 10 years old or 12 This man has got talent. So that's why I came here. We've shifted the table here What we got to do is we're gonna Cut these tongue and grooves so everything is going to lay flat I've already started on some of them Lance, but I realized I didn't have the the right tools What were you using to I was using a jigsaw and that is that is probably a crime in your world Okay, so you just want these to be square pieces of wood basically. Oh, I'll tell you something right now You turn these tongue and grooves off You might need another piece No Before we cut to just saying I'm just saying a quarter inch and it adds up quick So I know you don't have any more of this stuff. No, and then what kind of wood is this lance? You can't buy this from home depot. This is probably hard pine and they call it hard pine Because the actual little rings and so this is real hard. It's almost like oak But because we go through uh so much lumber in united states these days The farms for pine they grow them fast. They're thicker. Yeah So that's a very if you go get a two by four from home depot There might be three rings like one two and three or four now. There's probably Yeah, 15 20 by making a table and you just add four legs It's probably gonna have a tendency to to possibly wrap I would say uh 60 of woodworking is standing around staring at it Now this right here is a table saw Is this the one that you have the mechanism in that I walk saw So if I were to stick my finger on this thing while it's running it would stop immediately It would drop below the table and I would have Just a little tiny nick and not saying we're gonna test that right now That'd probably be a viral video, but it's safe. We're gonna be wearing our safety goggles today keeping our eyeballs safe so we can Get those large mouths in the spring You do is you flip this up This you take that flat side reference on this flat side. I'll line up when they come together You went over the joiner and you send it through the planer Well, so this is why you have all these tools, right? Yeah, I guess so technically So now we're gonna go back to the little faithful track saw That is connected to hoses Throughout this entire workshop Now that is vacuum that's five horsepower sound like a 250 hpdi Decently clean cut still I wouldn't take any more off right there Every board has a flush edge now. Thanks to Lance and his festoon. Hopefully We did things right and we're not gonna have a full gap No, we're not done the work just began we got a gap and we're out of wood Lance knew we were gonna run into this because he's been doing this for a long time When we started taking a little bit off 16th and the 60s then we ran out of room So we got to make an adjustment. We got to move this table inward. It's not good people We got problem. It's time to cut the table last option. Well friends a snag has indeed occurred with the table It's just too short. There's a gap there So everything I measured for in the beginning I didn't account for cutting off those tongue and grooves being that big of a gap The option right now is to cut the big boards on the table so that they connect tightly With those small little floorboards. I want to do that. Heck no I spent so much time working on this thing But at this point it's the only option unless I want to have a huge gap in the table There's still one thing that hasn't been talked about and that is the legs So I sat there and I talked to Lance. We got to discussing What if we change this table up? We just bring the table legs in where it's going to join With the other pieces of wood that I've already cut. It's going to make the table stronger It's going to show off more of that awesome wood It's just going to overall be a better piece of furniture So yes, what I'm telling you is that I'm taking the table that we've already built chopping it up And making a way cooler design. I got to tell you what learning any new craft isn't easy and woodcraft Definitely ain't but I'm determined to have one of the best handcrafted wood tables in the outdoor youtube game So I'll see you guys back here tomorrow If you want to see more woodcraft action go ahead and click over here if you want to subscribe to the channel Right over there and if you want to see just some of the latest uploads we got going on right here I'll see you guys
