Making a firewood and steel coffee table

- I thought about this project for a long time and now I have finally found some time to try it out. I hope you like it! :D
I started by randomly picking pieces of firewood and planing them on a planer. The wood species is beech (Fagus sylvatica). I planed sides which seemed like they required least amount of work. Each piece was then cut lengthwise on a circular saw until I got rough blocks. I placed them in front of a fan to speed up the drying process. After couple of days on blowing warm air the moisture level dropped down to about 13% an I decided it was enough to continue work. Each block is squared and then glued together. I used d3 acetate glue with open time of around 15 minutes. I left the tabletop to sit for another couple of days before planing and further work.
For steel base, I used some leftover 40x40x4mm pipes from my previous pipe clamps video. I cut them to measure with big angle grinder at 45 degrees angle. I also cut an 8mm thick, 22x22cm steel plate which will hold the legs together. Legs are then positioned as shown in the video and welded onto the steel plate. four holes are drilled for the screws which will hold the tabletop to the base.
After few days of rest, It was time to finish the tabletop. I planed it on the big planer an cut of excess wood on each side with a skillsaw. Surfaces were sanded first with a belt sander, then with orbital sander and finally by hand. Sharp edges were rounded and sanded. On the underside, I milled a recess into which the base will be inserted. Wood is then oiled and base and tabletop re joint together.

What an amazing project, and the music fits so well! Thank you for this amazing video.
Thank you so much for watching! I'm glad you like how the video turned out🙂
Yeah it's amazing how good the classic music works.
That shop is dimly lit, dusty, the tools are old and it looks like you could lose a finger at any time... I love it 😍
That planer/jointer table has got to be the coolest piece of old machinery to ever exist. When he opened it up I was like🤯
That jointer is insane!
This base is gorgeous!
beautiful table. I loved the video from start to finish, it is very well edited. Nice job.
Bonita mesa, me gusta el estilo de tus videos gracias.
Wow. I remember making a table with similar legs design like yours but from timber and math drove me crazy :). Very nice work and thank you for sharing. The angle grinder fire wheels + soundtrack is better than Fast and Furious series haha. Take care Stay safe buddy.
Thank you man, I'm glad you like the project! :D There was no math behind this table, sometimes eyeballing technique gives results.. You too, stay safe and take care..
top, as usual...
Glad you like it Jo Jo!
What I wouldn't give to get access to that shop
Look at his other videos to see his big orange helpers.
@@edvickery958 I honestly don't have much love for the robots
Отлично как всегда, просто и понятно, но инструментов конечно, что хошь
Beech, a good wood to work with...
One of the best woods to work with, I agree.. But kinda dull imo..
@@lignumchannel Where would you find a pile of Zebrano firewood?)
@@lignumchannel yea i fell you...

Hi! I'm from Jukin Media, an LA-based media company. We would like to work with one of your videos! Please reply for more information. Thanks!
who is Mr. Potato? P.S. Great Video!
Beautiful work as always.
Thank you! 😁
Well done! The combination of steel and wood always gives an amazing effect. Bravo.
EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS VIDEO WAS JUST PERFECT!!!
Wonderful piece. Love that beast of a jointer/planner combo and the old router!
I love them too, but wouldn't mind a bit less noise ;)
As always your videos never fail to inspire. I love the "random" look of the steel legs. A taller dining table height version of this design would solve the " knee knocking " issue of the traditional 90 degree leg arrangement. Maybe a 3 leg version to stop the "wobble"? Imagine how 30 of these tables would look as you walk into a restaurant. This video is just what the doctor ordered for corona lockdown viewing. Bravo!
Thank you for watching man. I'm glad you like the design and also happy to hear I manage to get peoples mind of the current situation.. Stay safe!
*Good to look and thanks for the good video👍*
Beautiful work and excellent editing too! Thank you for sharing
Thank you for watching!😁
Cool design. Loved it. Your videos are awesome..
Thank you very much!
That's some really clean straight grain Firewood you have there! Nice end result as always! Thank you. I love the Music by Grieg as well. Good choice.
Not quite a straight grain I would like. After drying, some planks bowed for a good centimeter :D Thank you for watching David, I'm glad you like the video!
@@lignumchannel Still an excellent outcome for otherwise scrap/firewood! Never miss an episode. I look forward to them in fact!
Firewood+Steel+Skill=Gorgeous!
Thank you😁
That is a great table, and as usual, your edit is spot on. Also, thanks for putting all the details into your description. It takes a lot of the guesswork out when I use your projects as inspiration for my builds.
Np Muddy, I"m glad you find my videos useful! Glad you like it!
Where are Husky tools made?
That's a beautifully done video...I especially like the timing of the music with the welding of the legs. Great looking table as well.
Thank you very much Stan, I'm glad you like the editing! :D
Very nice
Thanks!
Real craftsman..
Nice work 👍 🌲
Thanks Lignum. This video is great. Showed the beauty of your industrial tools and the fabulous transformation of the firewood by pure craftsmanship. 👏
Very very nice!
Just stopped by to say that you got it perfectly right. Soothing video, relaxing music and vary nice woodworking tools and skill. Specially that planer. Greetings.
So pretty
Awesome. Thanks. First thing I did was google "aqua-boy" they're still in business!
Cool
Hard to get too excited about a table made out of wood (who would have thought it was possible?) but that planer is the cats tits.
who has all these tools but not a biscuit jointer?
Me😁 JK, I do but didn't use it for this one..
Simple, straight forward and perfect. Loved every bit of your demonstration
Allways beautiful work and beautiful music...!
That jointer and planer combo is amazing! What make and model is it?
Fantastic work as always and a great job procuring and milling your own materials. One of the most rewarding things for me is to me something out of firewood as before that, it was destined to be burned, showing its true potential with a little extra work is well worth the effort!
That was exactly an idea behind this project and I couldn't tell it better myself.. I'm glad you like the project!
Super ste
beautiful table and lovely music! hope you're staying safe
Beautiful video as always! I love the change up of the intro music too!
dude those clamps are sick
Glad you like them! There is a separate video on how I made them, you can check it out😁
Totally forgot it was lignum then i saw the planer and knew where i was
Bellissimo, grande maestria con legno e ferro ....bravissimi
Nice project
Awesome Jointer/Planer
I was expecting a steam powered skillsaw . Brilliant as always.
May I ask how long this project took to complete?
Great video! 👍🏻
Great job, can I find out the length of the leg?
Amazing!!! What moisture meter is that please?
Classical music and wood, two meanings of life.
Nice table and video, thank you. Your thicknesser planer must be the biggest I've seen. What is the max width it can thickness? Also loved the moisture meter and a bit of a suprise when you landed the probe! Cheers, David
Thank you , I'm glad you like the video! The blades on the planer are 60 cm wide. Now when I think of it, they could use a resharpening..
Beautiful, as always.
Thank you😁
Good build. Should the metal base plate screw holes not have been slotted. It’s a wide table and there will be a fair amount of lateral expansion /contraction
This is just an experiment, I wouldn't get surprised if the tabletop bends a lot.. I'l see in the next couple of months and learn for the future..
wood ,metal,big machines ,sparks and epic music could bring a lad to tears on this lockdown.awesome build !
:) I'm glad you like it Christopher, stay safe
How long did you dry the wood? Nice job and excelent craftmanship
I would say not enough. For a few days but a few more in front of a heating fan wouldn't hurt, beech is notoriously unstable when drying.
3:26 How do you cut so straight with no guide!
it might be a rough cut
Well, my secret is that It's not perfect :D
I am thrilled when you release another video. So calming and what works you produce!
Thank you Jeff, I'm glad you like my videos! Hope to keep you entertained in the future.. :D
Dobri ste svaka čast
No Words but...👍👍👍👍👍
What is the name of music
Really beautiful table!!!
1:28 is that a heater to dry?
What a beauty of a table
Always, always amazing videos! Thanks, guys!
Thank you!😁
I could prolly fall asleep to the sound of your Jointer/Planner 😂 jus have it running all night long. Awesome video.
😁I bet you would change your mind after 5 minutes standing next to it.. it's loud as hell.. new bearings couldn't hurt ..
lignum yea but at a good distance 😂 social distance from it.
NICE!
👍
Wow

Sta mislis kolike su sanse da se pojave pukotine ? 14% vlage se cini i dalje dosta. Znas li gdje se moze nabaviti takav mjerac vlage ?
Je, dosta je i pukotine bi se mogle pojaviti, ovo je vise manje experiment tako da cemo vidjet.. A sto se tice mjeraca, mislim da kpm firma jos postoji i proizvodi mjerace samo modernije modele, ovakvi se mogu pronaci na e-bayu.
@@lignumchannel kolega, hvala na odgovoru i kanal ti je vrhunski !
Looks like you had the shop to yourself this time. 👍
Yes, This one was done mostly on the weekend and after regular work hours. I tried to film it with the least amount of background noise as possible.. I quite enjoyed it but unfortunately it wont be possible for every video..
Marvelous
Thank you!:D
Thanks. Very good job!!!
Thank you Vladimir!😁
Как всегда 💪👍
That skill saw is a beauty.
One of the best tools.. only downside is I have to use it with huge 230 to 110 Volt transformer..
Beautiful creation!
Thank you! 😊
Very nice
Thank you!
Good work!
Thanks!
nice
Thank you Graham!
