I am a beginner to woodwork, the main test I have with this bundle kzhead.infoUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt is that I think that its hard to settle on a choice of the plan and outline to use as there are a large portion of them there. Nonetheless, I like the simple stride to step directions laid out there.
Nothing beats the fresh cut smell of creosote in the morning.
A very beautiful table setting for an heirloom asbestos dinnerware set.
I can feel the burn from the creosote it's the gift that keeps on giving.
Ouch. And now I'm sick!
I believe these are oak woth no creosote.
Next up - converting 55/gal radiation waste barrel into a BBQ
Nice table. The dirt collected in the cracks of the wood reminds me of how the train toilets used be flushed directly on the railway tracks.
Hahaha yummy. Perfect for a table
I was searching for "how to destroy your tools" and this came up. I love the way that chainsaw bounced off that spike!
So what?
@@janettavculek9308 why are you being so mean?
Can't beat recycling , i recently made a pallet out of an old coffee table
Haha Is this a joke? Never heard of a pallet out of a table but I have heard of a table from a pallet.
@@snarkybuttcrack haha strange times, strange times.
Ouch.
Nice table, just finish it off with an asbestos table cloth and some lead tableware and maybe an arsenic table candle and you will be all set.
For that authentic rail yard smell, just add wintergreen tobacco and axle grease.
I wiped out a couple of chain saw blades cutting these things up for a garden project... There are many stones and gravel that have found their way into the cracks and cervices of these weathered-out boards... Overlook one and your chainsaw is toast....
Confucius say man has no fear of woodworking machine..will end up a few limbs short!💞💕 love your videos!
Nice work. A gorgeous tree made that sleeper, and its now a beautiful table thanks to this craftsman.
Looks very nice. Good work. But it's insane to breath this sawdust 😳
In the EU using railway sleepers for furniture is strictly forbidden, because of the chemicals used to make them weather resistant.
Thank. We are always trying to improve. We wish you good health
Yes sir those lumbers r treated with c.c.r. or creosote. Do not play with them
This idea for outdoor stairs would be legit. With a rail road lantern or so to light the stairway melt a bunch of the rail road ties down to cast a stair rail call it a day. The table is beautiful sorry so many people picked your art apart.
This lumber is pressure treated with all kind of toxic chemicals to prevent decay. Old barn wood would be much better material for table.
Creosote - nasty, but perhaps worn off
Even more, the toilet were direct drained on the railways at some area in the old days . I'm not sure if it is a good idea to make a table out of it
I agree. I would not advise anyone to use an old railroad tie for furniture. It's bad for the health of the woodworker and the customer
No se en que país estas pero acá en Argentina existe una madera o mejor dicho un árbol llamado quebracho que es así cm lo ves y se usan para durmientes y montar las vías de los trenes ... sin tratamiento es muy buena .. de echo esta madera puede estar bajo el agua durante 20 o 30 años sin descomponerse
Basically building with hazardous waste. Do not recycle the sawdust or trimmings. Spend the money for new wood.
What a beautiful table. Wow stunning wood used. A piece of history.
Creating a masterpiece from recycled wood is a genius reflection of the talent, skills, ingenuity, dedication, creativity, and expertise of the Master craftsman.
Yay! Let's make furniture out of wood that's totally saturated with toxic chemicals and heavy metals!
I'm sure you suck on a vaporizer all day though
Enjoy your meal and cancer!
There is beauty in old railroad ties
Thank you for watching the video. Wish you good health
He should have recycled it into something he will need …like a coffin, after exposure to all those airborne chemicals
Mantap kali.sejuk mata memandang nya.
I never ever would use wood the wood from train tracks for something, that would be used indoors. My Granddad got his hands on some used jumpers somewhen in the 1960s or 1970s. He made the fenceposts of his compost yard from them. In the 2000's, when my Dad and I reshaped that yard, those jumpers still were in a good shape. Never painted by one of the family. 30+ years in northern german weather and climate...
Holy creosote Batman! I hope you did not breathe any of that, and carefully swept up all the dust and buried it far from any running water. I also hope that table will never be used indoors. You should always be concerned around anything organic that can spend 100 years laying on the ground without rotting.
Does Homer Simpson count as organic?
@@AlexDiesTrying Has he spent 100 years laying on the ground?
Very nice. During the entire video, I wondered if this table still smells like a railroad tie smells. They are treated with some strong chemicals. Also, I think a dark piece of tempored glass instead of the wicker stuff would look better and be more pratical. But still very nice and great video. Thank you!
I think it's a bench, not a table.
, creosote, carcinogenic.
@@edisontesla3932 then in that case, with only a few brad nails on all side, it will fall through very quickly.
Watching someone work with this contaminated wood is beyond comprehension.
I bet that table smells great.
Ive been working for a railroad for 20 years and ive never heard old ties called sleepers.
This kind of wood is naturally treated by environment. They will last forever.! Thanks
Thank you for watching the video. Wish you good health
Ficou ótima! Uma obra prima.
Mistrzostwo!!!
Beautiful table mate though I personally loathe seeing someone with so much talent. Kudos.
Nice surface appearance of the reworked pieces.
Unprecedented workmanship ……. unprecedented masterpiece. Thanks
Thank you for watching the video. Wish you good health
Nail looks more precious than wood
Awesome work! Although, the way you make some of those table saw cuts should keep you up at night. Sure it's technically a rip cut when the board is on its end, but you can use a crosscut sled to keep kickback from occurring instead of standing on the wrong side of the table and hoping for a good outcome. Really they take like 10mins to make. Be safe!
Lots of creosote in them thar timbers
Parabéns ficou linda
এই কাঠের গন্ধটা মনমাতানো ❤❤
All the right tools and the ability to use them. But, in the end a rough looking product.
Master class action n what not the do. No mask. Toxic dust from saw. No gloves Chain sawing wood on the ground. Chain sawing towards his foot/leg Hazardous sawdust must be handled safely. Never use toxic wood to eat on.
I think this is called a railroad tie. Sleepers would be more narrow.
"Ties" and "sleepers" are interchangeable words, with the former being used mostly in the Americas and the latter in the rest of the world. In reality though, what he's using in the video are bridge timbers, and yes, they're much larger than standard ties/sleepers. Another giveaway is the dap on the underside where the timber sits on the bridge girders, regular ties don't have this.
It’s amazing using power tools to make such accurate joints. Thanks
Thank you for watching the video. Wish you good health
Very nice design indeed. It is so good to see that these old retired sleepers are being a given a new life instead of becoming fire wood. BTW would you like to consider completing the good works with a 'Toughened Glass' top?
The pressure must have been very low when they treated them. The ties from the treating plant nearby are treated all the way through. The pressure is high enough in the chamber to absorb around 8 gallons per 7x9x8.5 cross tie. That's part of the reason they are so heavy.
When these ties were produced, there was no such thing as pressure treating. The timber was kiln-dried first and then soaked in a creosote cocktail for preservation.
Really a bad choice of wood. Crudely made.
Anyone else notice the termites what a great product if you want to risk destroying your home
He is going to sell it to a costumer, obviously.
The coating of DDT killed those.
So the termites would be in the finished project
I didn't get that far, in the first ten seconds all I can see is how loose that chain is...
nice termites
Haha , I see the termites eating from the table inside .
On this one i have a problem with all the saturated oils and Creosote for a kitchen table
Thats a good table it goes to show you that you can recycle ♻️ anything old and make it new again
Imagine what they could do with the Chernobyl refuse.
The preservatives used in railroad sleepers are usually quite toxic. This wood should not be reused for anything, let alone indoor furniture.
Mükemmel oldu.. 68 yaşındayım, keşke senin yanında çırak olsam usta..
Good craftsman 👍
BRAVO!Holly hands.
Last summer the rr tracks were refurbished in my area. They laid out new sleepers for quite a few miles several months prior. This was along the walking and bike path. The creosote sweltering in the summer heat was overwhelming. You literally could not walk there all summer. We should check back in a couple of years and see if any of these people have taken ill from inhaling all that saw dust.
You do realize that railroad ties just sitting there doesn't have saw dust? How would the creosote be worse than when the rr ties were being used? I've been around railroads, railroad ties, & I've used fence posts treated with creosote on the farm for my entire life. The only thing I've gotten from RR ties & fence posts soaked with creosote in 50+ years is creosote getting all over clothing & it doesn't wash out!! Around where i live we use old RR ties for landscaping all the time, never have had any issues, .& we use several ties.
Yeah, progress, the city of Houston made asbestos shingles safe to remove for a few years, you could tear them off and curb the trash and they'd haul it away. A couple of years then behold "studies show they may be harmful. Kind of a tax break for developers
@@timothygeiger8271 You do realize that when you pass it through a tablesaw or a planer it does have Stardust!
@@nzs316 it has saw dust, not stardust, & they probably are wearing dust masks
@@timothygeiger8271 Siri had another stroke this morning I wrote sawdust it change it to Stardust thank you for putting a twinkle in my eye!
Unique, original and beautiful.
Mesterien szép.Köszönöm
Beautiful work very talented
I think that you cold make a glue+wood dust to fill the holes. That would be a way more better !
wow. that's incredible
Yep it's got arsenic
Questo tavolo e i piedi sono bellissimi
I appreciate your hard work, I am a bit doubtful about the table design 😕. Anyway these railroad ties would be a good material for some outdoor structure, a fence, a gazebo, stairway rails, a deck, a shack wall cladding
Old railway sleepers commonly are treated with cancer causing products including creosote and PCB’s they would be the worst wood to reclaim for this project.
Knowing humans, there must be worse wood somewhere...
Beautiful Spalting
I thought these where soaked in creosote and toxic?? I wouldn't use one for anything
this material is carcinogenic. quite dangerous, indeed.
It's only toxic if you eat it. Old weathered railroad ties pose little to no risk.
That's not true.
Really nasty stuff in these, how else do they last 50 years outside
The amount of rod and degradation of the ties suggests they were likely untreated, or only treated on the outside. Termites wouldn't move in were it treated through and through.
Railway sleepers have been treated by Mother Nature for many years. That means it’s ultra strong, and will not warp. For indoor use, it will last forever.
Semangat bang 😊.. Terus Ber-Karya Kawan. Salam 🙏🏼 ACEH (NAD) 😊
Little skill shown
Muito bom
Wow! That is Craftsmanship!
The table has character and is beautiful. Craftsmanship outstanding. I wonder what use is intended for such a piece of furniture. The observations made in comments about dangerous chemicals brings up the idea that the wood could be treated with epoxy.
that would make it safe for sure
kiss that bar and chain goodbye. they are full of rocks and gravel.
Cantik pun 👍👍👍
Finally a woodworker that didn't use resin to fill the cracks. Nice work. Very nice table. Thanks for sharing this and your talents.
And seal in all those poor termites?
What's wrong with resin???
But have fun cleaning crumbs out of the cracks!
1: I really hope you did something to the termites in the wood. Imagine getting a new table that wrecks your house. 2: The rattan should have been damp when it was installed so it would shrink down and tighten up. 3: RR ties? Aren’t they pressure treated with volatile chemicals? Not my choice no matter how good it looks.
QUE LINDA MADERA DE PINOTEA ,.
I was trying to explain that railroad ties usually contain creosote and other carcinogens. I would never allow furniture recycled from railroad ties in my home. The worker is really endangering his health because he was not using a respirator and cutting, sanding, planning makes a lot of saw dust. But in the case of railroad ties, creosote and other carcinogens are released. He also did not appear to have protective eyewear and at times handled the ties with his bare hands. Once again creosote can irritate the skin.
Creosote is horrible stuff. Sleepers and old telephone poles containing it must be disposed in toxic waste treatment plant in Europe. It's unbelievable that this kind of videos exists.
The final product is also average
You could fill with clear epoxy resin to keep its original look as well as strong without any cracks & holes. But nonetheless it is looking beautiful
He should just trow away the whole table... The wood he used is filled with all sorts of toxic chemicals
Good for making War Clubs
Как я понял стол сделали из шпалы,а они пропитываются креозотом,чтобы не гнили.а это онкология.так что думать надо если выбираешь материал.
PERFEITO 😊
Now take the railway spike and make a knife out of it... A glass top would complete that table.
on the areas with the crampons: pour in vinegar and wait a day. You will save more of the wood and also get a very interesting pattern. You are wasting most of that wood.
This is beautiful.
Thank you for watching the video. Wish you good health
Good job 👏👏👏👏👏
Good job 👍💯
And all the family with cancer.... oh God!!!
And no mask while cutting....
No one: train driver at full speed sees a rail road sleeper missing
Great job
Awesome buuild ❤❤❤, Dona
As a professional forester for 40 years with the U. S. Forest Service, and knowing much about wood treatment, NEVER TRY SALVAGING RAILROAD TIES AND REUSE FOR ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This video should be taken off youtube as it shows many faults in trying this and may even be harmful to folks trying to recycle old railroad ties.
That's true. The guy is a bit loose with safety standards as well.
For real! Ties aren’t even really suitable for retaining walls unless gravel surrounded like where they were originally used. Dirt on them rots em in a few years. As for the nice table, I would leave that out on the porch. Open to the sides so it doesn’t trap gasses still escaping the wood.
Nonsense.
Obviously you do not know what you are talking about! @@bradlobdell
If it's properly sealed the end user should be good, unless it's a toddler that likes to teeth on wood.

Here you are not even allowed to take them to the dump.
The way he ran that saw with his leg on top... you Muppet.
Add glass on the top it will remove direct touch to wood also keep it clean
Amazing work.
Thats a real good idea out west yoi might find some made with redwood. Woildnt that be cool.
Great mesin bro👍👍💪💪🤝🤝🤝
