Those jokers want me to pay over $200 a month for a policy that is only 500k. Lol they can keep there expensive insurance.
They are hella expensive!!! No thanks!
if you're going to use reclaimed wood more often get an hand held metal detector to find all the nails.
That’s what I did. $30 at Harbor Freight.
Ruined a planar that way >:/
Would a magnet work as a cheaper alternative?
@@dougkohnen i would think it would depend on how big the metal is vs. how powerful the magnet is.
Agree. I work with it all the time for my wood art pieces. The cheap Harbor Freight one works well enough.
The intro of this video is basically my life😂😂 never felt so connected with another man before 😂
I will never again be able to smear glue anywhere near a crack without a giving up a little chuckle. And I'm sure I'll get funny looks. And I'll have to explain it. And they won't get it because I won't be able to explain it right. And they'll think I'm weird. So thanks, Jason, thanks a lot! 🤣🤣🤣
Love your show,I'm a disabled veteran on a fixed VA income, and I would like to become a patron, but I just wanted you to know that. Always look forward to your next show. Also, it taught me a lot. Thank you 😊
Best intro ever!!😂❤
One important points (I work with reclaimed wood alot) : Always brush it off / vacuum / do a light water wash first. It can be covered with lead and/or asbestos dust from old construction. (or worse stuff). I also always do an extra lead test just in case.
My Grandfather is my inspiration in my shop… He built everything in the homestead house… including the house… When he passed I knew I had to keep his memory alive, so he is with me in my shop always. Happy Holidays to you guys! And Merry Day of Birth Wally!!!
I log onto KZhead and "Save to Later" stuff I want to watch later, except your channel. I watch your channel immediately. Always funny.
This confirms that its easier to build with brand new material, then making it look old, than working with old material. But deep down, it is so satisfying to give new life to old stuff.
For me either way is easy. I don't get my hands on reclaimed much both because of price and availability in my area. But I do like using it. I usually go through with a strong magnet to find any nails lol
Great table. Your wife is a real looker. 😊
Sure you did, but for those less experienced: make sure to seal any exposed MDF, especially where it might get damp, like at the bottom of the legs, as it soaks up water and swells like a beast.
had the same thought
Or just use MR MDF instead because it basically never swells.
@@AxGryndr funny thing I'm actually looking to use that stuff in a bathroom project. Have you used it. I have no idea where you can get from.
@@russellcasperson6695 not usually a diy thing here in the UK, I used to design furniture and we just ordered it from the sheet timber suppliers.
@@joemacleod-iredale2888 yea it seems like a more industrial product I live in a rural area and none of the builder supply centers here could order it.
That looks great. Like a real old reclaimed table.
Another great video. The finished product is beautiful. I must say, though, that the opening scene of the discussion between you and Mrs. Hibbs was deja vu for me - it is almost an exact replay of a recent discussion with my wife. I was laughing so hard I was in tears. Nicely played..
You always make such funny videos Jason. Best content on KZhead.👍🏻
Opening skit was essentially the "you don't need to sell it to me, I already decided that was what I wanted" meme
I've worked with reclaimed poplar (barn wood). I used a magnetic stud finder for the nails. I've also seen a handheld metal detector used. RIP bandsaw blade.
If your ever strapped for ideas you could make my favourite thing in the world, a pool table that transforms into a dining table. 👍
Jason, thanks for making this video using reclaimed lumber. I think that there are quite a number of woodworkers who use reclaimed as their primary wood source. I agree that reclaimed lumber has some challenges, but as you have shown , they can be overcome. I also think that a lot of woodworkers start with inexpensive wood to build skill and confidence before spending 600 bucks on hardwood and making happy accidents. Musings of a local Albany guy.
Great video Jason, as others have said, using reclaimed wood is something that I have done but not often. Would have loved to see your wife's reaction to the beautiful table you built her. God Bless, have a nice weekend.
The table turned out great. I'm in the process making a dresser for my youngest son using wood from a house he bought that was built in 1916
Terrific work on that reclaimed wooden table Jason! Happy Holidays to you & your family! 👍👍🌲🌲
Thanks Jason, love watching your videos Saturday morning.
I used to produce furniture using only reclaimed wood here in Brazil. I love how it looks.
Amazing Craftsmanship! Well done!
That looks absolutely stunning. The simplicity makes it even better. Amazing effort.
Just like that?? Love the result but this has inspired me to go out and buy a table .🤣
Table looks awesome Jason! Well done 👍🏼
I only work with reclaimed wood. It's cheaper and the reward is much greater once finished. Knowing what the board looked before and then seeing the final product is very rewarding.
Fascinating. A master at work. Thank you!
That’s beautiful! I love the trick with the legs!
I would LOVE to have a table from the barnwood in the back of my reno farmhouse. We're reclaiming what we can for the floors right now. ❤❤❤ beautiful work!
Well this came out at just the perfect time. I've had a request for a reclaimed wood piece for a relative for Christmas and this answered a lot of question that I've had on my mind. So, thank you!
Great content. I always learn something new watching your videos. Thank you!
looks fantastic, probably my fav project you've done in terms of aesthetics
Really like the combo of voiceover and talking directly to the camera. Gonna have to try that since I’m awkward AF when talking to the camera still lol
Tip for getting a darkened, rustic look on your timber: stain it with used engine oil. Works surprisingly well, especially for harder woods which won't absorb regular stains or oils as readily.
I noticed you have raw MDF ends on the bottom of the legs. Since MDF meeting water ends up disasterously, to prevent possible water damage from washing the floor or drink spills, I probably would have started the leg veneers by capping the bottoms with a 1/4” or so layer of hardwood that is sealed with thin CA glue after gluing them on. Then apply the side veneers. … I did a similar project, making a “rustic” tressel (sp?) table with the base made from 5x7 oak timbers with pinned mortise and tenon joints. Fitting up the joints was a real challenge, to be sure! The top was made from similarly aged oak planks, all from my neighbor’s barn. He and his wife loved it!!
Putting a layer of glue at the bottom of the legs or just sealing it with something will slow down any absorption from a spill. Enough time to mop up anyway.
Awesome! I love reclaimed wood. It has so much character.
Great job as always sir. Congratulations.
Always look forward to your builds and how you make it look so easy, least i forget, your great sense of humour :) Big up from England bud.....!
Omg that is fabulous! I love reclaimed wood ❤️
Outstanding outcome!
Reclaimed wood was where I started my wood working journey. It's nice to see it done in a much better fashion than I could lol
Shawn here,I have a fully loaded shop in Florida which needs an out feed table, wink wink lol,we have a guest floor at our home, thanks to you I bought most of wood pecker tools, great stuff ty.come on down ! thank you for all your content!!
Beautiful work Mister.
Just made these same legs out of oak! I had an idea to use my Japanese pull saw to finish up the taper (ouch). Fortunately halfway through #2 I remembered I own a nice bandsaw… I then used a #5 plane to clean them up. Honestly your approach to this is brilliant. MDF - never would have thought of it!
Nice looking table! I have used the tape method for doing miters for years. A quick tip is to take a steel tool such as a screwdriver shank or the top of a knife blade and run down the sharp edge lightly before removing the tape. You can use hard maple scrap as well. This closes up tiny gaps and really adds to the overall appearance when the tape is pulled.
Very nice Jason! Reminds me of when norm did this many moons ago. I think he used some mesquite. Another was bog oak. Great to see you fill those big shoes of norm. And keep the wife happy too. Hope yous all have a nice Christmas. It's been a great year, you've done some awesome projects. I watch with my 8 year old son, he loves it. We live in an apartment so can't have a treehouse but he's getting a treehouse bed instead.
Table turned out great 👍
The reclaimed wood vernier over the MDF legs turned out way better than I expected. The table looks great.
Love the Flight of the Conchords poster
I’ve been waiting on this video I work with barn wood a lot nice to see how you went about things
I got myself a restorer tool a couple of years ago - absolute game changer for working with barnwood
Simply wow!
Thank you for sharing
Amazing job, I love it!
Great job, fun project!
Awesome build. Using the mdf and reclaimed veneer was a great looks looks amazing!
Agree. I'm in the process of designing a flat screen TV table in my living room and don't want to spend the money to make it out of solid wood. Was thinking of using poplar or some other decent wood to make a carcass and use the same veneer technique he used. Now that I have seen this video, I may be able to use MDF in some aspect as well. Love learning better ways to build projects!
Cool build! Loved it.
Looks like a dining table I’d love to make! Thx. Happy holidays.
Love all your project ideas, Jason. Have you ever thought about building a pool table? That would be a great video. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
I've always thought about this. There are so many things to think about when doing that.
If you want to plane them down thinner, other woodworkers say to put an mdf table inside the planer then continue
Table looks beautiful. Now time to make a set of chairs to go with it!
MDF core with veneer on top. It's just like IKEA! 😁
Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.
This is your best project in youtube so far, I would like to thank your wife for it
You do some awesome work.
Dirt as stain! I love it! Like you, I'm not a big fan of working with reclaimed wood but you friggin nailed it! Just beautiful. Keep up the awesome work.
It turned out nice. I do a lot with reclaimed wood. Sometimes it's a pain. I do like the way you approached doing the legs.
Merry Christmas Jason! Before long, you'll be making epoxy river tables too!
and not blowing them up :)
Beautiful!
"...or Gramma chuckin a bowling ball through the house.." CRACKED me up!! I had to pause to go tell my daughter.
I am getting strong IKEA vibes from the MDF approach. Watch out for a line of "reclaimed" wood furniture at your local IKEA in 2024.
Looks awesome!!
Nice Flight of the Conchords poster!
Love the intro... sounds just like my wife. We used to go to the auction way back when in Aurora, OR. Nice!!
I’ve got about 500 board feet of old redwood 2x12’s to reclaim. They’re from the 1960’s and held up pretty well. This video will go a long way, thank you! 👍
Nice piece. Good job.
What a wonderful table! One would hardly guess you just made it and didn't just find it in an abandoned farmhouse. Well done!
Gotta start calling the tablesaw the "almost finger cutter offer"
Love the Flight of the Conchords poster! (Also the rest of the video is cool too I guess)
For the legs, could you have done kerf cuts to bend it? I know it was already pretty thin material to work with.
BRILLIANT !!!
Nice work!
I know you only used that tapering method because your blade wouldn't pass all the way through, but that actually seems like a great way to do two sided tapers! Def better than taping on your off cuts at least.
Also good way to age cut parts to look like the older faces is the old Iron Acetate trick (steel wool aged in vinegar, wait a week, then brush on, expose to light / low heat for a few hours). I always try mine on scrap samples first, and usually thinned down extra for the first try.
Love that place in Aurora! Can be a little pricey but you get great stuff.
The edge of that one board is pretty gnarly. I bet you'd want to swap it with the middle board. I suppose you still could since you didn't glue anything on the top together. Will take notes from this video, and might build a table like this!
Those legs were genius! You could even use that for hardwood if the MDF core option is cheaper than the hardwood itself.
Oooh lovely mdf dust, nice
Great Job bro, Greetings 🇲🇽
it is looks very nice. I like how the legs turn out.
A lot of extra work to make reclaimed work as well as new timber, but you can't beat real patina and it was well worth it in the end 👌🥰
Love the intro!
The look of reclaimed wood is one of my favorites, just always hated the function. Like you mentioned about maintaining that look on the top side, sometimes by not milling it, you get some high spots and plates or glasses tend to rock…which I think makes it a barrier for choice for me. But it looks amazing man.
So i searched for just the tip, and not my crack.. and this was the top video. It did not disappoint! FYI your quartering technique always works with 8 ish ft reclaimed boards due to the fact that you get 4 pcs from each board.. and that even a 5 leg table has 4 legs in the end :) Bravo my man.. Bra vo.
nicely done, Jason! The MDF will be our little secret.
Jason, great work, even if the intro has left me mentally scarred 🤣🤣🤣
Ничего себе здоровый стол получился! Класс, приятно смотреть твои видео, друг!
I’ve got some 8/4 Douglas fir doors from my mom’s house. House was built in 1912. Super excited to turn them into something
I'm kinda in the same boat. I have some old 2x6 fir from the mid/late 1800's. I'm reminded of one of the wood working rules - planning
