Turning a Free Coffee Table into a $270 Charcuterie Board
I made this $270 charcuterie board from an old coffee table that I found on the side of the road!

Quick tip…lightly wet the board before you brand it. It will stop that board from splitting like it did.
This table arrived well packaged and on time. kzhead.infoUgkxn94T8Mu1iMnsLCMNOI9srXSsLkI4JXKW Like another reviewer advised, I pulled everything out and made sure everything was included (everything was!). I built it alone and it took me about an hour. The color is great and for the price the lift part works well. As others have mentioned, it’s not the smoothest opening/closing, but it works. The screws do show, but I plan to order white sticker covers if that bothers us too much. Really happy with this table! UPDATE: it’s been over a year since we got this coffee table and we still love it! It gets HEAVY use as our dining table, foot rest, and school desk. Over time, the opening and closing mechanism has gotten smoother. I added a new photo with the white screw cover stickers. They blend in perfectly and make it look a little cleaner. 100% recommend!!!
he's so full of joy that it is contagious. I'm currently buying a LOT of machinery so i can start some new projects. Thanks for the motivation- Never loose that smile, man. love from Argentina.
Thank you so much!
That branding and hand written burn on the back was the chefs kiss, definitely elevated it to another level and gives an additional talking point about the board for the new owner!
That’s exactly my thoughts. And I need to start doing this on my wood working projects
@@88rushrocks true, all things considered it’s a “small effort” compared to the returns and a skill that will only get better over time too
Yeah, except he split the joints while doing it. Honestly, this is basically grade school ability. It’s atrocious he sold this for so much
@@celticsfaninthedesert4778 right? give me his client base and i won't have to work my 9-5 lol
a very cool idea would be to include a QR code in your branding that links to your youtube video of making that product. Keep up the great work!
My brother made a checker board design on a cutting board for my mother and she still uses to this day. It is 43 yrs old and he used light and dark wood to get that checker look.
Dude -- Love your imagination, how you can see some old "junk" on the side of the road and immediately recognize how it can be brought back to life. L'chiam!
Thank you! In this case, I had no idea what I was gonna do with the coffee table, but sometimes you just gotta follow your instincts and trust that you’ll figure it out later on! L’chaim 😉
@@MorleyKert yo, wet the wood before branding. Makes a huge difference.
Love these videos man. Very intriguing and attention grabbing. You don't have a shop with top of the line tools so for someone like me these videos are inspiring and pretty realistic to imitate. Thank you.
@2:19 - notices the Snapmaker enclosure in the background! Hey! The Snapmaker 2.0 was my first (1) 3D printer, (2) CNC, (3), laser. I now have a whole farm of 3D printers (7 assembled, and about 5 more waiting to be built), 3 laser machines, ranging from the Snapmaker up to a 100W CO2 machine, and 3 CNC machines, ranging from the Snapmaker up to a 2+ x 4+ ft DIY plasma based on V1E LowRider v3, and a 4+ x 8+ ft DIY router based on V1E LowRider v3. For me, the Snapmaker 2.0 started it all.
You do so good using your skills. Love the way you edit your videos. 🙌 Thank you for sharing.
You've definitely inspired me to step out of my automotive and 3d printing comfort zone and explore more wood working projects.
great project. And I really like that you share the time and costs.
Love your creativity!!! Love the cutting board!!
Would like to see a vid you mixing the two main topics of this channel, woodworking and 3D printing. You may take some inspiration from USSA. Some 🍬 for ya!
Great work! Can’t wait to see what ideas you have this year 😊
This was super satisfying to watch especially when you sanded down your brand mark! Sweet job!
I really appreciate your positivity. It is absolutely infectious. You have a new subscriber!
Brilliant. Perfect holiday inspiration Morley.
Thanks, Jesper!
Great job Morely! Good job on the upcycle of the old coffee table! 👍👍
Thank you!
A satisfying build Morley 👍 as long as you get your asking price, don't mind the negative feedback. I have a pallet in my backyard I wish I could give you but I'm in California. Oh well keep it up dude
Thanks for your wonderful work reusing wood.
Thanks for watching!
this guy has good vibes
I love that someone from portland bought it. 🌹
So much positive energy, such a good job. Keep it up!!!
Thank you!
Love how random wood loot spawns in his area and is amazingly workable
looks really awesome , you inspire me
Ive got these slats from an old ikea bedframe, replaced it some time back because what self respecting woodworker buys / has Ikea furniture 😅. That being said the slats that held the mattess are actually great looking ply pieces! Slightly warped, but all to the exact same bend, whick works for a unique look for my intended coffee table. Im turning them up on their side, and using flourecent acrylic strips between each slat. Not sure which color yet, but work in an acrylic fabrication shop, so no problem securing parts 😁
Loved the new video Morley! All I need is a good workbench and a few more tools and ill be making some furniture and pieces like this :) Currently just making bowls and plates and such on my lathe.
Awesome! Soon 😊 Thanks for watching!
When you use a branding iron it helps if you wet the wood first with a spray bottle so you don't get as much excess burning you did a really good job on this well done mate
Will do next time! Thanks for watching 😊
@@MorleyKert no problem mate I love your videos and your enthusiasm is infectious keep it up buddy
You're just amazing dude!
I wish you posted it anonymously to see if you could sell it that way first.
You should have made a vertical stand with the excess wood. As opposed to risers, it would offer a more elegant and ergonomic storage for when it is not in use.
The expectation/hope of being paid $100 an hour for this level of effort is a little out of touch... even at $200 USD, the board is quite expensive for what it is as large end grain cutting boards can be bought for a similar price. Don't get me wrong, the board turned out looking nice, but I do think expectations should be tempered when selling something so ubiquitous. Anyways, thanks for the video and merry Christmas to you.
Well said 👍
Really enjoyed this one! Like all the others, when I think about it....😋
Just found this channel and you’re giving me a lot of inspiration to broaden my art skills
This might be one of the worst wood workers on KZhead, putting unreal prices, no actual wood skills just amateur stuff. No way someone gonna pay $200+ for this $50 cutting board. What a fraud
@@brucehansen7949 Bruce my man It sounds like you have some limiting beliefs and you’re just projecting. I don’t think you understand that individuals can price their work whatever they want. There are photos in gallery’s that are worth $100,000 dollars… a PHOTO! There’s 8 billion people in the world, someone is going to want this 1 of 1 original made piece. I would just simply keep that in mind and hope you make some dope stuff to sell that someone is going to want to buy 🙏
Yesss finally! Been waiting for one of these videos, my favorite(:
Yaaas!
Love the channel! Nice to watch something that is relatively local. (I’m in Barrie).
Awesome! Thanks for watching 😊
Hi Morley, I’ve been able to get my wife to watch your great KZhead videos with me. Very inspiring. What are your thoughts about repurposing finished hardwood furniture and running it through a planer or table saw? Just wondering if you have any health concerns? I haven’t done a charcuterie or cutting board but this has been my thought for a while, why not use old furniture and remove the finish and use it for a build… Curious on your thoughts!? Thanks for your content! Keep it up, looking forward to your CD build!
Good use of recycled materials. I like doing the same. In my area, Oklahoma I would have a hard time selling for that amount.
You did something beautiful from garage
I like that that beautiful maple wood got repurposed.
Very, very cool! You just got a new subscriber!
Fairly sure that you may have had some cherry wood in there. The grain of maple and cherry are very similar. I've had cherry sapwood boards that I would mistake for maple if I didn't know the actual tree it was cut from.
beautiful work!
Thank you!
A lot of work but the results are amazing 😺. Thanks 👍
Thanks for watching!
4 hours is not so much.
Brilliant idea love it
Thank you!
I think a person could have easily gotten a piece of glass for that table but since it had an older look to it (that isn't my style and maybe not your either) so I think using the wood for a charcuterie board was really cool
You remind me of a used car salesman the way you're always slapping everything
I love ur work mate.. very inspiring.. Now if I can find thrown away furnitures made of anything other than pine, here I Australia. Jealous of those maple timber u get.
YO Merry Xmas and happy holidays Morley!!
You too!
Someone just bought a beautiful one off!! 🏆🏆🏆
Good job
Hi Morley, Love your channel ! I would to see you 3D print a chip adaptor for your planner to hookup on a shopvac !! ;)
Another fun video from Morley. Might I suggest the next one? "Morley learns about dust collection."
Haha getting there! Thanks for watching 😊
The knocking everything over too relatable
its lovely
Awesome work. Don't heat the front side of the branding iron. Heat it from the back side only.
Idk who will pay that much for wood glued together. That's wild
Would love to see you make some night stands out of pallets
Nice work, but $270 for a flat, mostly featureless board comprised of wood processed and glued simply is a bit ridiculous, regardless of time spent. It is a charcuterie board sold for $270, not a "$270 charcuterie board".
What wood & what oil is safe to build kitchens cutting boards?
This guy is like the Liver King of finding crap and reselling it
Awesome video!! I'm 15 years old in the portland area and your videos have inspired me to build more things!! I made some coasters out of a 4x4, and they haven't sold yet. Are you on facebook? I would like to ask you some questions. Thanks-Andrew
If I had the finances, I’d thoroughly love to buy this piece. Btw, absolutely loved your maker’s mark! Burning it in adds character to the piece. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Loving these trash to treasure videos! Thank you for being detailed and transparent!
You love scripted videos which wouldn’t sell if the geezer wasn’t an ‘influencer’🙄
You charge shipping to the buyer. Great transformation.
Nice job. Personally, I would have used the "risers" as Japanese style feet, creating bevelled sides and dovetailing them into the base of the board. Guaranteed to add brownie points to the end price.
Why do you hold down the igniter button on your MAP torch and then light it with a stick lighter? The igniter button should light it for you.
Christmas gift video!
Hey Morely I need your help. I just bought the DJI wireless setup. I fought with other systems bla bla bla...Long story...anyway, how is the latency with this mic? Do you record on board and then sync up the audio clips in post or do you plug directly into your camera. If you plug directly into your camera, do you need to tweak the audio by 1 or 2 frames to sync it up correctly? Thanks! Been loving your videos for awhile now!
I plug directly into my camera and have no (noticeable) issues with sync. Thanks for watching!
@@MorleyKert Ok sweet! I originally bought the Synco G3 in order to stay on a budget. I recorded one video had what I thought was audio issues. I asked my girlfriend if she thought the audio was synced and she said yes...but im pretty sure it is like 1 or 2 frames off. Then I ordered the Rhode Go and ultimately decided I wanted the flexibility of doing everything from the actual device itself as well as I wanted the charging case, so I canceled that and ordered the DJI. Anyway, thank you! And keep up the good work!
Just curious. When reclaiming lumber for a project like this, do you worry about the wood having been treated with something toxic?
Something like ?
@@cartradediary6131 arsenic
@@SchizSchool was never used for indoor stuff
Should have been
Nice, makes me wonder why I don't get off the chair and makes some stuff. 👍✌🖖🥃
Do it!
Hey 50$ an hour where otherwise you’d get zero sounds pretty good to me! Good job! 🇨🇦
How do you do it? How do you get people to pay the prices you ask?
I thought you have to have one face of the project already flat in order for a planer to flatten out the other surface. Is the planing here just to clean up the wood and the project does not necessarily have a flat top? I'm still learning so just wondering, thanks.
Flattening one side before planing allows you to get the two surfaces parallel to each other, which isnt strictly necessary for a board like this. But the planer will make each surface flat no matter what, unless you take too deep of plane passes. You should read some old popular woodworking articles about stock prep.
Because he is reusing wood from furniture it was probably flat already. My makerspace does not let us use reclaimed wood in the planer and jointer though because of the risk of hardware hidden within it damaging the blades. They are very expensive to replace!
Hi Morley; I am new to your channel, I want to know what is the make and model of the wood planer that your using in the video, great content so far, I might be following in your foot step.
Links to all the tools are in the description! Thanks for watching
My grandfather, former cowboy, later artist, used to brand my mothers toys. Once a kid stole my mums sled, my grandfather went to their house to get it back. After denying insisting it belonged to them, my grandfather turned it over and the point was made. My mum got her sled back.
Just stumbled across your channel and I will say, lovely workmanship 👍 But one mistake that's going to stay for years and years is the hand written message. It was "used" as a coffee table or it "use" to be a coffee table 🤣 either way I've now subbed to the channel 👍
12:00 the cats eyes are sooo cute 😊
Haha I’m glad somebody finally noticed!
Sanding sealer
Where did the dowels come into play?
subbed
Do u do your editing yourself?? I don't know how you're not bigger so entertaining
I don’t have a planer. Is there something else you would suggest? My budget is very tight right now and I’m a beginner.
router wth a slab bit...otherwise i'd belt sand the shit outta it with 40 grit
From trash to cash 👍. Good on you.
My guy, this is awesome! We're those clamps 3d printed and then used conduit?! I need links!
Thanks! They are pipe clamps with 3/4” steel pipe - link in description!
@@MorleyKert my savior! Infinite length clamps for all the things!!!
The typewriter ending is too spicy. You clean widdit #youKnowWhatTimeItIs
I'm not on Instagram... is there another way to contact Dean? I've been wanting a brand, for my own work, for a while, now...
Nice job. Where do you do your job? Do you have a workshop or just rent someplace?
Garage at his house, I believe if I recall correctly.
(You gotta put the period * inside * the parentheses, like this.)
Coool 😮
As a side hustle I think a couple of hundred dollars for 4 hours work is quite very good. Considering you could have got two boards made of timber…. You still have got legs left to make possibly another board, even maybe an end grain version. Chess board popped in my head.
Invest on a laser engraving machine more accurate and you can avoid excessive burns.
Much cheaper at TJ max or home goods but nice job on the board.
Can anyone tell me where I can get the thickness planer blades for that machine
im guessing its 300mm-330mm...any actual power tool stores will stock them, otherwise search online...should be an easy find

"Charcuterie" is definitely the hardest word that I know of to pronounce, no less spell.
In my experience “Chipotle” is the hardest word for people to pronounce, but charcuterie is definitely a tough one for people.
Not gonna lie that's pretty expensive. You can get end grain boards for this price.
It is but Its only expensive if people aren't willing to pay it. 🤔
@Michael Willson you can fund end grain one off maple or walnut boards for around 150 to 200 and edge grain for around 100 to 150 o etsy or other makers. This is more of a novelty KZhead merch purchase. Even the shipping to Oregon is gonna cost around d 50$ from Toronto.
This one's famous though
@@mac2708 that's what I'm saying.
@@ShayanGivehchian not really sure about prices over in states and Canada all an no is a certianly wouldn't get anywhere close to $270=£220 for a charcuterie board here. Anything above £150=$180-200 I struggle with. 👍🏴
Your need to pat the wood in quite literally every shot is infuriating haha. I want to subscribe but once I noticed your incessant patting, it can't be unseen and sets me off 😂
How much would be if you 3d print with wood filament?
Two years printing time LOL
