Building the Most Awesome Coffee Table Ever

- This a build video of the world's most awesome coffee table, it takes you right from the moment I accidentally found the old fence posts that I repurposed on the way to a job all the way to the finished product.
It's a completely original idea - bespoke design that I came up with as I was building it.
I've never seen a leg design like the one I came up with here, I'm happy to be corrected if I'm wrong but for now I'm claiming it as my design that I came up with on 16/07/2018

Beautiful! I love taking “trash” wood and turning it into something wonderful. I recently got a ton of pallet oak that is hard as a rock and have loved working with it
Awesome when you get a score like that
Very nice work. You've obviously watched This Old Tony. Very watchable.
Very cool. Gotta love it when you score such a great 'deal' on wood and come up with such an awesome plan. Love it!
Thank you Eva
Don’t ever hesitate to ask what people r planning on doing with wood ,I’d be drooling getting that ,I love it 👏
Yep it was a good score
Bloody lovely, mate!
It always blows my mind what people are willing to throw away without realising any upcycling potential.
Good rescue.
L rHU thank you, yhe bloke didnt want to give it to me at first because "it burns really well"...
Burns really well!!! A travesty!!! Haha.
My best score has been 10 sheets of 10mm glass display shelves, 500x900mm, that were about to thrown into a skip.
Turned some into seedling planters for the old girl, but have a couple aside to make some "tracing" table tops for some friends who are artists.
Sometimes it just takes a different perspective to see the possible.
Really nice build and end result. Thanks for showing the technique on the ends to handle expansion.
Thanks for watching Mark, appreciate the comments
Wow! Great find with those timbers. Well done!
Thanks for watching
I initially looked at it and thought it looked very amateurish...however, after watching the full video I became impressed with the piece and would be proud to have that piece of furniture in my home....well built my friend. That will be a piece passed down for future generations.
Thank you Jody
Top-notch work, I believe that coffee table stands a fair chance of surviving a direct hit from artillery and will outlive us all.
Lol I think you're right. Thanks for watching
Really nice. I love the grain and colors.
excellent design and workmanship. I agree with the earlier comment; it's great to see reclaimed wood given a second lease of life. Thanks for sharing your skills. Best wishes
Thank you and thanks for watching
Thanks for uploading this - goes to show what can be had for nothing if you keep your eyes open! Great build - nice and unusual, more importantly it has a story too! ‘Keep at it’ from the UK.
timsmithinuk thanks mate
That was a really good video! Thank you! YOu explained every decision you made in good detail, without being boring!
Lol thank you it's challenging to do.
Nice build. Props on understanding the importance of the "money shot" aka applying the top coat.
Thank you, I always do such a bad job of filming out but I certainly do try my best to capture it
Absolutely beautiful bud champion job. Nice to see some awsome Aussie timber being used
Thanks bro, glad you liked it
Nothing like getting timber for free, beautiful job.
Yep especially when it's beautiful stuff like this
Thanks for the education and entertainment! You have talent and a wonderful personality.
Thank you, appreciate it
That turned out incredible.
Fantastic video, I've acquired a load of weathered oak posts, so I will have a go at making something similar to this.
Thanks Andrew, this design is flawed in that it's so rigid it transfers all the error from your floor to the table and rocks a lot. Looks cool though
Thanks to Down Under Woodworks for highlighting your video channel. Greetings from Arizona, USA Subscribed!
Thanks for watching
Stunning. Truly stunning. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching bro, glad you liked it
It's so funny how this has come up for me on my feed as I have just fixed my fence. I still have the old posts and they are the same ones. I have been wondering what to do with them, now I know. Thanks for the idea
That's awesome, thanks for watching
Awesome table mate, thanks for a few good pointers too.
Thanks for watching mate
Sacrilegious!!!! I hate seeing thing like that go to waste😖 keep up the good work & keep uploading those videos.
This was great. A work of art!
Thank you
Yes the mustard squeezy bottle for glue 💪
Personaly I use a tomato sauce squeezy bottle but hey....
Table design and wood choice was perfect, great way to up cycle some old timber
Lol thanks Shaun
Loved the resin idea to stabilise those cracks. I have wasted some nice old wood or used it in a smaller project because of that
Thanks Brenden, you can recover some beautiful material that way that would be otherwise unusable
Wicked bro! Love the stress test at the end too! Rock solid.
Jonathan Padoa thank you, I tried testing an offcut to failure off camera but could not get it to fail.
NIce detail work with the legs. Thanks for a great vid!
Thank you
That's an absolute stunner mate!
Good job, mate!
That is absolutely gorgeous. Really nice work.
Thank you
Awesome stuff! Gonna try this one.
Thanks Bobby, this was actually a really easy 1 day build. If you have the tools that is otherwise it'll take longer
Man! This is awesome build and amazing score.
Thank you
That is a beautiful piece of functional art!
Thank you sir
Awesome work, thanks for sharing.
Interesting idea. You made a great score with those fence posts.
WB Fine Woodworking thank you.
Wow, you may have actually built the coolest coffee table ever. Very nice.
Curtis Johnson thank you she is a beauty and can certainly handle some abuse
Great piece - love the lines!
Thank you
Wow! Excellent.
Nice build. Terrific upcycling!
Thank you, thanks for watching
Thank Man always on the look out for Aussie content creators
Great, thanks for watching
Thank you for sharing. You have some great skills, and it turned out really awesome🙂 Really nicely done 👊🏽
Thank you
This woodworking book t.co/z6o0f8z2H4 contains a great deal of details about woodwork. There are some designs in the book but it is primarily explaining the procedure of how to do various things and what tools to use to accomplish them. In general, this book fulfilled my basic desire to learn about wood working.?
I wish I had nice tools like that. It makes life so much easier
It really does but to be honest I made a great deal more when I had nothing than I do now, passion for the craft drove me.
Hecks yea bro! Good score.
Gorgeous! Table is nice too.
Lol thanks
That's a work of art mate, well done. Gonna have to get me one of them domino yolks.
Thanks mate, you and acheive almost the same with dowels.
Seriously nice piece!!! Amazing, top video !!!👍
Thank you Richard and thanks for watching.
Great build there mate, this reminds me of an old friend who passed away, he had something like this, love the little nooks for your remote! Cheers.
Makerskerf thanks for watching
Ive got a piece of this and ive never known what it is. Finally:-)
Over engineered eight ways from Sunday! Just how I like 'em. I say keep going! Lead casters? Maybe a couple of bow tie splines made of depleted Uranium? Don't stop until the walls bow inward under its gravity, and its weight is measured in churches. ;)
Lol that's awesome, thanks for watching
lol
I assembled a shed with these plan [Link Here== *TopFineWoodworking. Com* ]. The guidelines were clear and simple to execute. Indeed, even an amateur can have the capacity to construct quite fast using this plan. I'm glad I purchased the plan. It additionally spared me much cost.?
Great looking table
Thank you
Baby elephant!🤣🤣🤣 You kill me! Great video and skills as always😊
Lol thank you. True fact though
I enjoyed getting some ideas from your video and I love your personality.
Thanks for watching cj
Learned alot mate, well done cheers...
Love the design and repurposing 👍
Thank you!
GREAT JOB ON THE TABLE I JUST LOVE IT .FROM DOUG
Cheers Doug
Maybe not the most awesome but pretty damn close. Great job, thanks tor sharing.
Thank you sir
Looks good!
That is some A1 scabbing right there. What a score! Only thing wrong was the disappointment of seeing the sissy little mallet in use when the L.C.M was now available ;)
The LCM adorns a shelf and makes his owner more powerful
HOLY MOLY😱 That is freaking amazing👏👏👏👏 You should go back over to that house. They should see this. You breathed life back into their dead fence. And the sacrificial tree lives on!👏👏👏👏 That table will last until the Earth implodes! And probably still end up whole! 👍
Lol thank you
That's a great idea, let them see what their old fence became, they'd have to love it!
Just smiling at some of the 'advice' and commentary below. I think a lot of people are clueless about how hard some Aussie hardwoods are and what tools actually work and what dont. I gave up on 'traditional' joinery techniques on Aussie hardwood many years ago - much prefer making and my own fasteners and knock down hardware - but Festool's system is just easier/faster/better for a lot of stuff - of course you already know all this -:)
Brilliant design btw and great re-use of 'firewood'...I'm starting to much around with welded support sections and legs as well as using 5 mm metal flats under tops to 'help' the glued panels retain integrity - easier said than done to find properly dried hardwood these days...
Really enjoy your channel and your natural entertaining commentary - I'm looking at the Lamello system for knock down or self clamping uses with ply/MDF and chip boards...looks like another brilliant timesaver -at a cost mind you.
Pete
Thanks Pete, glad you understand. I need to send some of our common eucalyptus species up above the 1000kg/m3 mark to the popular US channels that call maple hard so they can educate the greater community who will of course in turn start telling me how it is from the other perspective, can't win...
@@OneManBandWoodworks Keep posting your stuff in your way - love it - and I'm a harsh judge !!
I think I can relate to what you mean, even if it is through a third party. I used to work with a young Kiwi bloke, who had been a wood machinist back in NZ. I asked him if he ever had to machine any Australian hard woods and he told me of all the dramas he had when some Western Australian jarrah came into the shop one day. He tried to run some of it through a big planing machine - and the machine jammed - just stopped dead on him. True story about how hard that stuff is. In the early days of the Swan River colony, jarrah was cut up into blocks about the size of house bricks and shipped back to the UK, where they were used as cobble stones!
@@TombstoneHeart it's true, theres actually still one section of a historic street in Sydney with ironbark pavers. Jarrah isn't quite as hard or dense as what I was working with but it's definitely up there.
@@OneManBandWoodworks I live in Amish country, in the U.S., and there are a lot of Amish mills out here. I don't know anyone that would call maple 'hard'. Red oak? Yeah, maybe. What we consider to be a hard wood to work with that requires special attention and methods? Black walnut. Yeah, enjoy a weekend of trying to sand a length of it. I've been putting off making a live wood black walnut table top for a year now because I know I will cut it, glue it and shape it in a matter of hours. The sanding? That will take me days.
You are literally my older version, similar curly hair and more features, not to mention the smooth jokes 😂 Putting that aside, regarding the project, it turned out great and the fact that you choose to re-use older wood is a great idea not only for saving money but protecting the environment as well, keep up the great work I subscribed.
Alex thank you very much for watching and subscribing, about 2 years ago I made the decision that as a business I would favour reusing recycled wood and not charging a premium for it. It has forced me to learn smarter faster ways of doing things and resulted in better looking far more stable furniture pieces.
BUT. Is it Gluten free ? ;-)
I love the sound of hammering in Time Lapse.
Yes it's one of my favourite sounds
Looks awesome... love the leg design ... enjoyed your video very much
Thanks so much!
Nice job, nice lucky you found the lumber.
Thank you brother
Great design!
William Wilson Thanks bro
Gorgeous piece!
Thank you 👍
Very nice, the price was right
Thanks
Awesome design and looks very sturdy
Cheers
Tim from Wood 4 Nothing
Thank you
nice score on those beams, looks great
Thank you, I knew it was gold as soon as I saw it
Beautiful
A man that can laugh at himself....is a happy man.....
Deckie Deckie 👍
So cool.... great job, man
Thank you, thanks for watching
Beautiful!
Thank you
That coffee table is so awesome that I think a matching dining table build is in order. Just be sure to build it in situ because it will take a small crane to move the thing after you have up-scaled some of the components 😂
Kuffys Woodwork I'd have to upgrade the slab under the room
Love this idea. SCORE on the old posts. That’s a dream to come across something like that. I work at a small lumber yard and got a bunch of treated 4x4 scraps bout 2’ long and gonna make the same exact thing, just a little smaller. Size isn’t everything😉. Don’t have a domino tool so just gonna wing it somehow. Great video man, great craftsmanship!!!
Thanks so much, I think with the massive surface area on those glue joints it might be fine without any reinforcement. If I had my time again I would resaw the middle board to about 1" thick and the outer boards to a 1" "L" shape with 2 cuts on the table saw to reduce weight and conserve material, it really didn't need to be this thick all the way through where no one can see it.
Dude this channel is sick
Thank you, I do my best
I like it. Great Job!
Thank you
Nicely done.
Thank you
Wicked build mate
Thank you 👊👊👊
Cool design.
Marcel W thank you
Beautiful great job
I am just starting to look into starting to learn woodwork as I am moving house to a large property where I will need to do more around the house etc. Anyway I have always liked the idea of woodwork but never had the chance to try. I will be starting with basic projects to begin with so this is WAY out of my league but what a great finish. Awesome to find an Australian channel. Keep it up.
Good on ya mate have fun, check out sumos projects for an aussie channel with more basic techniques
Great Catch, now why can't I get lucky like that. You don't need a haircut, it's winter.. wait a month :D Beautiful table
Peter Compton thank you
Great job mate! Gareth, Bedford UK
