Looks great! you should bore out the holes in the base where it attaches to the top. Use a washer under the screws. Having done this will give you some room for wood movement. I'd hate to see that beautiful top to crack. Love those legs, wood and steel, what a great combo.
It has a modern look but it also kinda kills it too. All that work to make a beautiful table top just to put it on metal legs. It's probably just me but I would of liked to see some nice joinery done with the lower half.
I loved the combination of wood top and metal legs.
Gorgeous! What are the dimensions of the finished product and what was the approximate total cost. Looks like fun.
This table turned out great! I'm building a new desk for my office and I think I'll be using a walnut top. Thanks for the upload!
Great to hear! Good luck on your project and thanks for watching.
I love your videos. They're very instructional but also way more fun than most instructional videos
Thanks! Thats great to hear because thats exactly what I'm striving to do with my videos. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the great video and the one before making the table top. I watched your walnut hand rail vid and how to make a lap joint ... you make these projects seem easy!
Wow! Great to hear Wanda and thanks so much for all of the support. Video editing always makes things look easy haha. Thanks so much for watching and hope you subscribed.
Absolutely Beautiful!!🤯💯👌💪👏👏👏🙏🙏👏👏👏
Looks super awesome! Great work!
Great job 👍👍👍
Great to hear and thanks so much for watching. Hope you subscribed.
Do you have a link for the legs? Ordering some walnut to build a coffee and dining room table.
So it’s been two years now. My husband and I have watched both videos. I’m interested in the dimensions of the table. And the condition of it today. Have you had to change anything about the legs you chose? Has the wood cracked at all?
The table is approximately 36"x88" and proud to report that the table is still extremely beautiful and I literally haven't needed to adjust anything since I make it. Legs are great and the wood has never cracked. I might do a light sand and apply a new topcoat since there are a few small scratches but that is normal wear and tear that any table would have. Thanks for watching Michelle and send me a picture on instagram when your done with your own table. Always love to see those.
Now, that's a good looking table dude! Thanks for sharing!
Great to hear. Thanks for watching Roberto.
So beautiful!❤
Pretty table, but that table can and will move up to 1/4" and back. That steel base should have ovalized holes or something to allow it to move. Maybe they can tack weld clips or figure 8"s to them?. Don't mean to sound negative, but it's just 30 yrs of doing tables, and I learned that the hard way. It can be rectified. Don't let it end up probably cracking from the stress
Thanks for the input CWC NY. I did leave the screws a bit loose just for movement purposes. Haven't had any issues what so ever with table movement and I'll make sure to let everyone know if I do have issues in the future. Thanks for watching and appreciate the advice.
Would the oval holes need to be 1/2" wide and you'd screw it in the middle then?
Can you explain this to me like I I'm 5? I can't wrap my head at why screwing directly to the legs is a big issue. Is it because of the width of the table? I guess I understand that wood expands, but do you have an example on how to create or attach to a base screws? I'm currently creating a small 55" computer desk with some reclaim wood with very similar process as this vid series, except using L brackets to mount on wall. Thanks!
never mind that what happens when that hole fills with mashed potatoes
@@TQVIP, think "expand and contract" instead of "move." The boards will actually become wider and thinner as the seasons/temperature/humidity change. As the boards become wider, the screws in the wood become farther apart, and the holes in the legs need to allow for that. Otherwise, the steel holds onto the screws when the wood expands and it kinda messes it all up (a.k.a. splits, deforming, etc.). Proper attachment of the table top will allow for that movement while keeping the top secured to the legs, and just loosening the screws won't get it... that just makes the tabletop less secure. Here's a quick video that explains it visually (hope this helps): ruclips.net/video/uufuR1_QwaU/видео.html
Good looking table. i think i would have made wood legs...great vid.
Great to hear Edward and thanks so much for watching. Maybe wood legs on the next table. Hope you subscribed
Bold Mfg.I have one of his big mailboxes. Good quality stuff!
Great to hear Paul. Yes those mailboxes they have on their website look amazing. Thanks for the support.
I'm here for the narration. Subbed.
Just found the Bold Mfg & supply website. LOVE THIS! Question, how much overhang did you give your table top once it was on the base?
Slot the holes where the screws are so that when the wood moves, and it will, your table won't buckle from expansion or crack from contraction.
Dank RUclips, how did you know that this is the video I'm looking for...thank you, thank you, thank you...love your video bro
Superb 👍👍👍❤️
Beautiful table!
Over a year later, follow up question - have you had any issues with the legs rusting since they are made of steel? - also any issues with wood movement?
Good questions and happy to say i have had NO issues with wood movement or rust. its definitely had plenty of use and I still absolutely love the table and always get complements on it. Thanks for watching Chase.
So is it a ratchet wrench, torque? How bout a socket wrench?
Where do you buy the leg kit?
Beautiful !!
Just watched the two videos of making the table and I have to say.. that table is GORGEOUS!!! What kind of chairs did you add to it?
Thanks for watching Stephanie. The two end tables are these www.crateandbarrel.com/curran-quilted-oyster-dining-chair/s223518 and the other charts are these kasala.com/collections/dining-chairs/products/valero-dining-chair I'll have to post a pic on my instagram of the end charts but I do have one with the side chairs. they are amazing! instagram.com/byotools/
yepp. definitely subscribing.
I need this table in my house 😍
Great Videos. What sort of screws would you recommend for 1 1/2" American Black Walnut? Thanks
What is the length and width as well as the depth of the finalized table?
and THIS is a beautiful table. I love your work
I really love the look of your table. I think I'll be trying to convince my wife to allow me to build almost that exact table. Nice job!
Looks great
Thanks for watching Johnny.
Just screwing it onto the legs? What about wood movement?
The word movement should be very minimal and shouldn't effect the levelness. Haven't had any issues yet but I'll let you know if anything changes. Thanks for watching David.
BYOT it's not about levelness. It's about wood expanding along the width of the table and then cracking when you're away on vacation during a humid summer day or a dry winter day because the wood can't expand/contract even a millimeter along its natural path. You can avoid this terrible situation by widening the metal holes on the plate that attaches to the table top. Specifically, allow for the screw to move width wise along the table's natural expansion path. It will still be held securely but won't inhibit inevitable expansion/contraction.
this will definitely need corrected or that will end up getting ruined and nobody wants that.
needs to use buttons
Needs table top hold down fasteners. They are designed to allow for seasonal movement. This table will fail long term. It looks really good though.
Love the tabletop but why didn't you fill in the hole with a clear epoxy?
I wanted to give the table more character and I felt that leaving the natural knots the way I did truly made the table come to life. I understand why most people epoxy the knots but I feel it takes away from the natural beauty of the wood some times. Thanks for watching Ron.
Yes, you are right, but will be a pain in the ass to keep the table clean, if used for eating etc...
I liked the look personally. If you play tabletop games, though, I guarantee that every dice you roll will go into that knot though, lol
Where do you get the frame
American Walnut looks so good. I hope it is cheaper though, it literally costs an arm and a leg :(
Yep I absolutely love Walnut but it isn't cheap thats for sure haha.Thanks for watching Rolan and hope you subscribed.
@@BYOTools how much did the table cost you in total?
How did you account for Woodlands you table base is screwed in to the top and won’t allow for good movement due to climate changes
How much would you sell that for?
Well done. Looks too easy for you :))
The beauty of video editing haha. Thanks for watching.
just subscribed! I love your content this table turned out great! I recently made one like it but I fabricated the legs myself but these look great!
Great to hear Ian. Thanks for the support. Much appreciated.
Love the top. But a $400 top on an $80 base and legs, lost me there. Still nice.
I just looked at boldmfg.com and the legs are $300+...!!!
bryce86777 huh?!? Is that all yo have to say?? Nothing to show, eh?
Those legs are almost 400
That is beautiful brother! Wow! Retail, I think it would sell for what $5500 ? Yes/no? Materials, labour! I would pay that!
Thanks for watching and all the support. Agreed. I've research these types of tables and these go for thousands. Let me know if you want to put in an order haha :)
I love this video, but that isn't a torque wrench. It's socket wrench, or a ratchet. A torque wrench allows you to tighten a fastener to a specific torque. Having said that I learned a lot. Thanks!
Beautiful table. Would would a table like that sell for?
I would say that I could easily see a table like this going for at least $3,000. Thanks for watching.
Very doubtful.
Id bet that was easily 1500-2000 in materials alone. Then add the labor that went into it and the beauty it has.
I'm new in wood working projects and my question is, why don't you use biscuits when those are supposed to make it "strong"?
Modern glue, like Titebond II, is stronger than wood. Biscuits would help with alignment, but won't make it stronger.
Robert said it perfectly. If your gluing boards together the way I was there is no need for biscuits. It just adds to the workload. Thanks for watching Carlos and Robert.
I was looking for a cover of BYOB by System of a Down but with the table meme didnt expect to find something about building tables
I usually spend a lot of time on that side of youtube but I've been over here a bit.
I love it!!... 👍🏼👌🏻
Great to hear. Thanks for watching!
oh yeah! i suns already..
nice vid.. you instruct vry well
good
Thanks for watching.
I was very bummed out you didn't make your legs your self
Well I did just take my first welding class so maybe in the future I will but this project took long enough with the table top alone. Thanks for watching Frank Frank.
you sound a little like Daniel Tosh... great vid
I'll definitely take that as a compliment since I love Tosh.0. Thanks for watching!
bomb!!!
Cute...
low gauge steel*
You rock 😂
THE DANCE AT THE END LMAO
You know way more than me about woodworking, but Metall, I'm better (my Job) NEVER use Washer between layers of things you want to hold together, except you want to made them movable! Strong connections are made by only 2 Washer , one at each end of the Bolt.
Thanks for the tip! The legs where a kit and I used what they sent. Apparently they need that tip swell haha. Thanks for watching.
Can you give me that part # for the table legs, I like to order them. Thanks
Here is a link to the exact ones I purchased. Thanks for watching Vina: boldmfg.com/collections/table-legs/products/industrial-dining-table-kindred-series
What is the cheaper option? the link doesn't work.
"If your looking for a cheaper option here's an option: goo.gl/o5vFzx "
Absolutely gorgeous table top. Metal legs are kind of a let down though after all that excellent craftsmanship. :(
Jesus... this went from beautiful dining table to large office desk real quick. Throw those metal legs away and put some wooden ones on
Ooo Come On. Who doesn't like blackened metal haha. Thanks for watching.
Subscribed at the end of episode 23 unsubscribed at the end of episode 24. That dance did it for me.
linda mesa! amei!!!!!!
Dang.....looked on the website and the legs were $350.
*bàn ghế Đồ Gỗ Giá Kho* đang có đợt khuyến mãi đó mọi người
All that effort on the top and the legs were store bought... :(
What do you do about expansion? You say 'Yeah' way too much. You should listen to it and edit that repetition out. I might subscribe
I haven't had any issues with expansion. When I installed the steel frame I did leave the screws a bit looks just incase but haven't had any issues with bowing or separating. Thanks for constructive criticism. I'll keep that in mind in future projects.
Leaving the screws loose will cause its own set of problems. As for "yeah"... well, IMO there are other things you say way too much, as well ("actually," "amazing," "in all reality," "trust me" ...and the off-color comments. ...IMO.
htischbirek is right, you should listen to it. Maybe if you stopped trying to be funny...
Why not make the table legs ?
I'm going to guess the answer is "because he didn't want to" or because he liked the look and simplicity of the pre-made option
Why didn't you build your own legs? As much as the legs cost, I may as well just go buy a table considering the cost of the lumber.
Hi Steve. Well I didn't know how to weld at the time and the Bold Mfg table legs are supper heavy duty so I wanted to make sure this table had the best legs possible. Materials are expensive but are under $1,000. If you found a table like this in the store I can almost guarantee you that you won't find anything under $3k. I call that a win/win since you save money and you learned some new skills along the way, right? haha! Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed the video.
nice work but,,, I would have wanted wood legs or something a little less basic looking.. good job on table though.
Thanks for watching and the support William.
I cringed when I saw you using short screws directly into the wood to attach the table top. Next time maybe consider using bolts and threaded inserts. ☺
you build a beautiful table top and then you put it on top a steel? doesn't make sense
that fucking outro was almost as bad as jake paul
What was the issue with the Outro? Thanks for watching to the end haha.
except for the knots , the table top looked great. if you are going to all the trouble of making a tabletop, why would you then go and spend 350 dollars on legs that don't really add anything aesthetically to the design. couldn't you make some table legs?
Based on the tools he shows in the video series, it doesn't look like his shop is equipped to make legs...or maybe he just likes the look of metal? Aesthetics are so subjective. What you describe as "don't really add anything aesthetically", someone else describes as "industrial". It's in his house, man. Not yours.
After seeing him build the top, I was glad to see him buy the base. I'm honestly not trying to knock the kid, but after watching these two videos it is clear he shouldn't be teaching others woodworking.
🇧🇩🥰🥰🥰🇧🇩
I would not want your character holes
To each their own Skripka. I love them but I know its not for everyone. Thanks for watching though and hope you enjoyed the video.
@@BYOTools yes, great video and great table. Thanks for sharing your experience. I am just curious whether you had any dispute with your wife about those character holes? Did not she ask to put some filler in them? ;)
I will try to do it with Stodoys plans.
Your not funny at all, but nice table. I do wish the legs were wood
Viewers: it looks pretty, but this is not the right way to build a table. Wood is not a stable material like steel. It changes shape with temperature and humidity. This table was glued together without any consideration of the grain orientation or the distinction between sapwood and heartwood. The individual boards will cup and warp differently, and because they are bolted to a steel frame, will pull themselves apart over the seasons. There are thousands of years of historical knowledge about working wood, and it's worth learning a bit about it before you spend many hundreds of dollars on raw materials.

Bretton Wade I don’t agree. My father built something similar out of walnut and screwed it to an iron base. It’s been 5 years now and no cupping.
Why not make the legs? Great start, garbage finish. Cant even finish watching.
BAD BAD
