9:32 I'm not sure how often you have this situation, but this is how I joint thin panels now. ruclips.net/video/b-kXTKVVTL4/видео.html It will quite literally change the way you woodwork. I have a second table saw now that I dedicate to it so it is always just setup. I have it installed side by side with my main saw and they share a fence in the middle. I cut to the left and joint to the right. I installed a fence from Very Super Cool Tools (best table saw fence I have used) and its flexibility allows me to do some really cool things. Anyhow, I hope you buy one and find it useful.
@@robandsharonseddon-smith5216 as one thinks, so one becomes….you were cool. 😎 grab your jams and OP garb, crank the boom box and relive the glory days.
Just after college, I got an almost identical coffee table , without the inlay, that I sanded and stained back in 2000. That table lasted me for another 20 years and I ended up giving it away when we switched decor. I could literally stand on that thing. It was incredibly sturdy and I still miss it!
@@rosetealatte9282 Me too. Bought them in about 1988. Just sold them a year or two ago to a couple looking to decorate a contemporary home with period furniture. Also, the guy in the video made the end table look worse.
This cracked me up right from the start because I have that EXACT table, in fact, a set of 2 end tables and a coffee table. And they are indeed from the '80's, and have lasted longer than 2 wives!!!
Thank you for sharing!!! Love the top! Love the legs! But they don’t match. Of course, that’s my opinion and I could never do what you have done. I love to watch people do woodwork. I’m always amazed when things go together with no gaps! I made two things in shop class and didn’t get good grades on either one because even with power tools I couldn’t cut straight lines!
I love oak, but I like dark oak mission or craftsman style furniture. My kitchen cabinets in my old house were custom red oak with a danish oil finish.
I have that set, along with solid oak California king waterbed with Mr & mrs dresser, hutch mirror, and oak Dining room set. All are solid oak, heavy as lead. They don’t make anything like that anymore. Raised two kids, 3 dogs, ten+ cats…still looks like new. Not understanding your dislike of oak, but to each their own 😊 My husband has corrected me, this looks similar to ours…must have been a popular design
I have a very very similar table, w/o the 80s decorative inlay or 80s decorative channel. I actually have 2 side tables and a coffee table that all match. I’ve always thought about refinishing them. Now this has inspired me to follow through with it.
Thank you! I loathe the whole '80's Golden Oak aesthetic, with all the fake-fancy veneer and those massive roundovers. Thank you from rescuing that table from an eternity trapped in a low-budget knock-off of Miami Vice.
This is the first video of your that i have watched. When you got that table at Goodwill I thought that was a crap thing to do. Always watch to the end. Someone is going to be really happy having a nice piece of furniture.
Been follwing your channel for yrs. I was going to be critical at first, but then you hit us with, "Can't we just have a bit of fun?" Yes... yes you can. Keep having a bit of fun and the channel will flourish more than it has already.
This is very cool. You should put a maker challenge out there for other makers to find a piece from a thrift store find and upscale it. Please tell me about the vintage tool behind you that looks like an old delta or Rockwell small jointer.
I absolutely love that you remake things and then drop them off at goodwill. Consider taking them to a goodwill in MD though. Insert baby voice? Cheers.
The different woods in the initial glue up then getting cut and rearranged reminded me of Damascus when blacksmithing. Definitely a cool patter and pretty trippy.
Amazing wood shop, I want to do things like this…I don’t have the tools,etc so I’m sticking to a few other things like replacing legs, I like putting some legs on smaller bookshelves, add legs to a smaller cupboard and painting chairs, etc.
love how the top came out. (the stripes on legs still read 80s to me tho). what a wild thing to watch you work on this and especially that 'veneer' on top. loved it with the edging. totally wiped away that old look. would really like to see you do one that the WHOLE top is a funky pattern. bigger table. like just now pictured a coffee table with that or another crazy design. (also realizing just now that this is probably how chess boards are made lol)
you want another end table and matching coffee table bought new in 86. Still using due to we aren't decorators and they still work (yet a little wobbly at legs)
Why would you change the legs to black with a light inlay then keep a wood (even though darker) top? It just seems jumbled. Why not just stain the legs to be the same color as the top?
Bought a similar table at the thrift store a little while ago. 3x3 oak legs, framed glass top. I just cut it into pieces for other projects. Perhaps I'll think differently next time.
When you took it back to goodwill afterwards, I decided that it would feel like treason against my soul if I don't subscribe to your channel. Brah-freakin-vo, dude. If only more people understood that You'll make so much more in this life by giving it all away.
I hope the design is thin enough so that it won’t be effected by expansion and contraction. Nice job! It gave me some ideas for some old similar tables I have in storage 👍
Next up is turning this cheap vintage lamp into priceless fine furniture

@@cewaffles I did. 😁
@@MakeSomething Nice touch.. Cheers
A wise man once said- can we just have some fun!
Someone at Goodwill now: Wow, I can upcycle that modern table into a great 80s table!
I hope so!!! haha!
Oak IS the new walnut!!
Probably paint it white.
I’d like to find that piece and put REAL brass inlays back into it.
That would be awesome.
😂
I live in the same city. Time to make it a reality. Haha kidding! I would just rock it in my house after all he did with it! Looks sick.
Somebody is going to buy that from Goodwill again and refinish it 🤣
Or fish it out of their dumpster lol
😂 so true!!!
Hopefully, in a nice 80s fashion. 🙃
They'll probably paint it.😂
@@Smedleydog1 a rustic 80s color I bet! 🙃
I remember seeing a lot of those tables in peoples homes waaaaayyyy back in the day. 80's was an awesome time to be around. We were so cool.
I thought I was too!

The improvements to the legs and adjusting their placement to make the tabletop extend past them was smart and modernized the look, well done.
this was totally an improvement, agreed!!!
Our contries need more tv shows like this channel.
So much fun watching this video- I especially loved how you gave it back to the goodwill place.
Brilliant job as always. Thank you
What price did Goodwill put on the table the second time?
That was an unexpected and wholesome finale
I love that you got it from goodwill and donated it back to goodwill!
I love oak, but I like dark oak mission or craftsman style furniture. My kitchen cabinets in my old house were custom red oak with a danish oil finish.
I feel so old and uncool. I liked the table before he worked on it.
I guess I just don't have any taste.
Great video and it did turn out pretty good.
The tabletop is gorgeous! 👍👍👍

Good job giving it back, hopefully they got good money for it after.
12:10 ".......... i nailed it to the bench" 😂😂😂😂 gettin a good laugh outta that. so relatable, too.
Love you when you do these goodwill upcycle projects
Ha ha! Awesome work! I would've tapered the legs also but the black with inlay looks great. Way to bring that piece into the new millennium.
Good on you for giving it back to good will. It’s so beautiful I’d have been too tempted to keep it
My mom has that same end table! To be fair I think she got it from the goodwill also decades ago
8:18 this definitely has an MC Escher vibe to it, so cool
That is the coolest restoration I've ever seen. ‼️💯 Great job🎉❤👏
Really enjoy the process,. "Everything is an experiment". Love it!
@12:01 when u give the "NAILED IT!" quote a new meaning. 😆 looks awesome Dave!

Great tips love the finished results, ooohhh by the way Elvis bust is a great touch
Your dust collection system must be top notch in that amazing shop.
Love the pattern on the new table
Top tip always show oak! Oak is beautiful and awesome!
Thanx for the FUN 😜 new here just found the Chanel ✌🌞👍
I can’t tell you how much I love this channel!!!!
I bought the same table new in the 90's, and I still have it, don't know why. 🙃That would be a nice winter project to re-create it. 👍
Fantastic work, Dave! It turned out more than beautiful! Nicely done! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Awesome rebuild of that old table David! I also like that you took it to Goodwill! 👍👍👏👏
Nice transformation. Remember so many of those tables from my childhood.
That old table looks pretty
I absolutely love that you remake things and then drop them off at goodwill. Consider taking them to a goodwill in MD though. Insert baby voice? Cheers.
This is you at your best and most edutainmental. Well done. Thanks!
In my college apartment I had this exact style but it was a coffee table. It was painted black. Also bought at good will.
I loved the scene at the end where you are sanding with crazy eyes 😂
WOW! What a transformation! Very nice work!
You look me in the eye when I'm sanding at you!
That was cool and selfless. Improving it and then donating it back that’s a classy, man. Kudos 👍🏽

I recognize those Goodwills! Greetings from Toledo!
very inventive use of an old table.. Epic cool.
Modern day twist on the Ship of Theseus paradox with a circle of life vibe. Many layers to this (No pun intended.)
New sub…I love your style! Btw I laughed so hard when you looked at the camera while sanding!
😁 Welcome aboard!
Of all the things you can build from oak, the best thing is a fire.
Я смотрю Ваш контент с превеликим удовольствием! Это счастье,-видеть шоу настоящего мастера своего дела! Восторг! Привет из России,Татарстан.
So, you took apart a $10 1980's table, rebuilt it with another $100s of wood plus time, just to make it look 80's again. Great work
😘
you want another end table and matching coffee table bought new in 86. Still using due to we aren't decorators and they still work (yet a little wobbly at legs)
I too have nailed a project to my work bench, we had those same tables when I was a kid.
Great work! This is the kind of content I love. Keep these types of videos coming
Continuing to work on his pieces during the sponsor is genius
So the exact moment I thought…”Hey that looks like a Space Invaders Guy!” = 👾!
Editing is top-notch, my friend!
Definitely loving the design you put on the top. This came out great!
You sure do have all the tools ! Wish I had all those !
I love oak, I hate you, I love your videos.
Bring back The Drunken Woodworker, he loved oak, especially big roundovers 😂
Hey Andrea - stop posting comments, start posting videos again! :-)
Why would you change the legs to black with a light inlay then keep a wood (even though darker) top? It just seems jumbled. Why not just stain the legs to be the same color as the top?
Elissa were just having fun.
The 80 were the time to be in oh and nice table love your skills
Nice ad strategy ! I haven’t seen anyone else do that.
That Q-bert looking design on the top veneer that he made means the 1980’s is still represented in this table. Well-played, sir. 😏
Great video. Super geil redesign, refurb, upgrade. Cool how you donated it back. Mahalo for sharing! 🙂🙏🐒
Love the random pattern that you got and the transformed legs are cool.
you are fearless. It is good to see. Thank you.

Loving the "Oak" dub, worked about just as well as Jimmy trying to fix his sponor video 🤣 #IYKYK #makingitpodcast
I need to make that crazy cross cut dilly. I already have most of the hardware from a CNC router I built… then rebuilt… and now do not have space for.
Paulie's got a system where he slices the garlic thin with a razor and it liquifies in the pan with a little olive oil. It's a very good system.

but would still like to have some info on it. I love old tools

The Oaks are just too greedy, they grab up all the light.
Nice rescue project David, that top is amazeballs!
OMG...You had me cracking up @14:15. I almost choked on my chicken wing. I'm still laughing...You're STILL staring at me...
Really enjoy the goodwill videos!!
That top pattern is niiiiiiiice.
First time I have ever heard someone dissing oak. What's wrong with oak? Sturdy as can be. I have an oak dining table and it's freakin gorgeous.
Very cool love watching your videos you always are so inspiring to try new things thanks
Best sanding clip ever 😂😂
It was a fun and interesting experiment. It looks like a chess table gone wrong. Hey, it was a learning experience which is always a good thing.
I’m pretty sure I’ve removed tons of stems and seeds on a table just like that one 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Awesome video
ha!
I've been looking forward to seeing this since you mentioned it on Making It. It was a shame the in-store footage did not happen...
