- This week i built a Coffee Table from Oak and a piece of my Work Table Top.
Thank you Rockler for sponsoring this Video!
www.rockler.com...
I wanted to reuse this piece because it`s been exactly one year since i started to work for myself and there a traces from almost every project i did on this Table Top...
This is my first time doing a mortise and tenon joint like this.
This technique is quite easy and makes an incredible strong joint.
The little turning blocks i made to connect the table top to the base is something i saw on a really old table and it is a very simple jet super handy way to make a connection that is reversable.
i hope you enjoyed this video, let me know what you think in the comments.

As an engineer, I really appreciate depth in design of your projects. I find myself fascinated by the integration of simple yet completely overlooked design aspects. For example, you integrated a picture frame style fastener for holding the top onto the frame, whilst also allowing it to be easily removed. I'm anxious for more videos.
Thanks for the inspiration.
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement ruclips.net/user/postUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
Fantastic way to freeze a piece of history! I dig it :)
thanks, jeremy. it is really cool to see all these traces from old prokjects :)
I love the use of the plywood with all the cuts and paint. Memories of past builds memorialized in your living room. Very cool
thanks paul!!
That table is a two for. Once for creativity and another for workmanship. I love that table plus the history that top adds to it make it priceless.
thanks, kyle!
Love the table. The contrast of the fine woodworking base and the industrial table top is so good and inspirational.
cheers, i enjoy this table quite a lot!
I'm here in 2021, and your vids never get old! Love the idea of using a beat up workbench top as a coffee table top.
The table top could hang in any art museum. Art as an incidental byproduct of more utilitarian creation--fantastic! The table design compliments the top. Lovely videography too.
thanks for you kind words!
There are two pieces of art here one being the table and the second the video itself. Amazing job on both Laura, truly inspiring.
wow, thanks, dan!
I love that with you nothing gets tossed aside, just repurposed! i feel like even the planer chips and sawdust gets used again for something amazing and practical!
haha, no kidding i am actually researching what i could do with all that sawdust right now haha!
I love that you used the old bench top! Perfect way to preserve the work you're doing.
thanks, ben!
I use West System Epoxy for my boat building and other projects. Make sure that you cover it with a good VU blocking varnish or it will turn yellow and crack. Love the table. It's always great to repurpose things.
That is lovely. The style of the legs and frame are so classic but with real flair on the table surface; where it counts. It was a joy watching this being built.
thanks!
Tested brought me here, and now it's one of my favorite channels. Great stuff, Laura.
Now there's a unique idea. Never thought of using an old piece of plywood like that. I like it.
it's so interesting seeing the different woodworking equipment we don't see in the states. That jointer planer combo is slick!
Good memories in the old work bench tops!
yep! i had the pleassure to work on some pretty cool projects in the last 12 months! now i can remember them over a coffee :)
When i saw that work bench top in one of your earlier videos, I was thinking to myself: "that would make a nice piece of art"
which it did ;)
that table top is awesome. I love the rendomness and the evidence of all previous projects. Workbench tops are visual evidence of the shop's personality.
Absolutely fab...... Love the tabletop. Nobody can reproduce this original wear and tare!!!! Love it....
i agree, you can´t come up with an authetic design like that...it has to develope over time
Wie kommt man nur auf so eine geile Idee, seinen alten Arbeitstisch so wieder zum Leben
zu erwecken? WOW. Super Video, super Handwerk! That´s my Laura....
danke heiko! freut mich sehr, dass dir das video so gut gefallen hat!
I don't know what I like more, your editing style or your projects... both are next level. I think my favorite part of this was your sanding disc shot from above!
thanks , jake! cool to get so specific feedback!
That is a rad table. Its got so much history even from day 1 as a table. Great piece and great video.
That was incredible! Not only was the table beautiful, but the shots were magnificent. When someone asks what you do as a vocation, you can respond "I edit videos, and in my spare time I'm a maker". Best I've seen from you by ten fold.
hahaha! that is funny!
A coffee table with a history of work! Nice. Greetings from Brazil!
hello brazil! thanks for watching!!
I find the idea great. Brings memories every time you use it.
thanks!! glad you like it
A jointer that turns into a planer!!! So cool!!!!! Sweet build!!
yes, it´s a great maschine! thanks
First time I saw a jointer/planer combo! Great coffee table by the way!
thanks!
TOTALLY freaking cool. Awesome job and it is great that you celebrated that table top. Just awesome. A pleasure to see how that oak went from rough lumber to awesome furniture through the planer!. excellent!!
thank you my friend! it is so nice to work with that awesome planer...very rewarding to see the rough oak take shape!
Love it! So cool that you used your old assembly table surface as the top for the table.
awesome,thanks for watching!
very cool! all the history and work that went into building the table top should be preserved.
thanks, i agree...this is not reproducable...maybe i should make one table like this every year :)
I have a friend that makes relief prints by carving up plywood. When he is done with the wood it is beautifully carved with colours from all the printing. this is exactly the project I thought would work... and now I know it looks great. Thanks again.
Hi Laura, once again thank you for sharing this, both the project and the video are top notch. Very nice way to reuse the cutoff from your work table.
glad you liked it!
I love that planer combo tool! Love it! The table it a great combination of raw lumber and recycled materials, and the taper on the legs really takes it to the next level. Your projects are becoming more sophisticated!
thanks man
That table top has some real character! Love the camera angles also!
cheers!
Great contrast between the oak and the used table top. And, as always, great video editing. Thanks for sharing.
thanks for watching, andreas!
It’s always a pleasure.
By the way, I contacted you on Instagram asking for stickers (either swap or buy them from you, if you don’t want to swap). The kids would surely love one of your stickers since we watch your videos regularly. Don’t you sell or swap? Or did you miss the message? Thanks for a quick feedback on this.
Great use of old and new material. I like your techniques and I can't get enough of that song!
yeah, such a great tune!
Such a cool and creative idea. Thanks for inspring, as always, Laura!
thank you for watching, david!
Great video. I love the idea of the personal connection, the road of development and history that is captured in the table. Thank you for sharing.
you are very welcome!
Fantastic! The whole project is artfully mind bending! Your thought process, film editing, the skillful way of construction, sound track, and the use of materials overall is amazing. I don't know where you get your ideas from, but keep looking in that same place!! Its another recycling idea that I wouldn't have thought of...EVER! Absolutely Great! Thanks Laura.
thank you gary! glad to hear you like this one!
What a great project. I love up cycling. Turning that bench top into a work of art. That taper jig looks very cool.
I have the same rock the shack book. I built a shepherds hut and really want to do a tree house or log cabin.
oh, very cool!!! i really want to build a cabin one day!
Nice repurposing of your old benchtop wood to combine it with modern legs.Very cool table and quite a conversation piece.
thanks!
I would of never thought to use the cutoff from the bench top like that - just simply fantastic! you are truly an inspirational designer and artist!
wow, thanks!
I love how you have such a wide array of talent. Trying out new ideas/styles/techniques while still being able to knock out solid traditional joinery is awesome! I totally would have 'cheated' and uses my domino! Amazing video!
haha, if i had a domino i would probably have used it as well :) thank you!
I like. I like the combination of plywood and oak board. Very contrasting and bright. Really a masterpiece!!! I dreamed of such a table before. But I thought to age it artificially. And you already had a beautiful naturally aged countertop, which stores the memories of past projects ;)
Great idea for the table top. It looks great and tells an interesting story.
thanks ben, i like it a lot, too :)
YEP ! Definitely one of your best videos yet Laura ...Love the plainer
cool to hear! thanks
Schöner Tisch ist es geworden.Die Idee mit der Platte ist super, sowas hat kaum einer.
What a great production, Laura. Not just of the table but the shooting and editing especially. Don't know which is my favorite. Excellent detail on all of it. Very well done. Keep up the good work, girl! Troy
awesome, thank you troy!!!
Hi Laura from Olympia Washington USA.
I just was watching you on This Old House Makers Channel. You were trying to build a lightweight attractive stable collapsible table. I had an idea. The plywood that locked in the legs was the thinner piece of wood. I think if that was thicker and the dado you cut was wider, the legs would be more sturdy. You are amazing! I just hope this suggestion helps you. Keep doing what you are doing. You inspire me.
awesome table!! we switch out our workbench tops like every year and make tables like this to sell. great music too!! love it!!!
very cool, they must sell like crazy! how´s the new shop?
Great looking table. Every piece of it is fantastic, even the hold downs. Going to try to make them.
Hi Laura - I love your work! You are awesome with wood, steel, brass and a host of other materials. I would like to encourage you to build a solid body electric guitar. You have a great taste in music and I believe you would find the project challenging and rewarding. Thanks for sharing your work with the world!
cool idea...i have absolutly no clue about guitars...i will think about it!
THAT IS SUCH A SWEET IDEA!!! thanks for the inspiration I love the idea of bringing the shop fee into the house!
thanks! me too :)
another winner! I love the idea of the tabletop reuse and memories . real cool
thanks, gib! you´re right, there are a lot of memories in this piece of wood...will be cool to have it around all the time :)
A real pop art table, what an inspired choice of top. I love the way your thought process works... Steve
You know your craft well. Great job on the coffee table Laura!!!
thanks! it actually was my first time trying ths mortise and tenon joint...will do it more often from now on :)
I love your approach to these projects. Really opens my eyes to what can be done on a table saw & drill press.
This is awesome! A great piece and even better video as always! Your work always amazes me, Laura! And I love old work tabletops put to use on other places. When I moved out of my last shop I gave my work table to a friend who uses it in his kitchen. Has a great look and I can see all my past projects on it when I pass by.
very cool!!
Awesome job Laura! I like the contrast between the beaten up table top and the european oak base. Keep it up!
yeah, me too, thanks!
A coffee table of memories. Great video!
thanks, andy!
Beautiful job Laura! Every detail of the process including the film making is just awesome. I am a huge fan.
sweet! thanks, joe!
Laura, I only recently found you (and though you, Jimmy). I think I've seen all your videos, but this remains one of my favorites. It makes things seem ... possible. Thank you and keep it up!
Stunning work - simple, elegant, modern, effortless (at least that's how you make it look!!). Great video.
thanks, i honestly thought i would have a harder time with the joinery but it was quite fast and straight forward :)
Laura! yes another rad project! I love how it preserves the memory of all your hard work! cheers, Steve
thank you steve!
Another inspirational build video Laura, Thank you
thank YOU for watching!
Awesome! The contrast of new and used turned out great.
cheers, i am really happy with it :)
Very, very nice work!
I love seeing a talented artist at work!
Thank you for sharing yourself with us!
thank you for watching!!!
Very cool idea. History of a lot of past projects in that top.
yeah, really nice to see all these "ghost of projects past" :)
This is the first time I have ever seen your work and I am blown away. Within a minute of the video starting I wanted to subscribe to your channel. Your woodwork has an impressive attention to detail and the way you document it is unlike anything I have seen. I can't wait to see more.
man, thanks! that is just great to hear!
Good idea using resin, you wouldn't of thought a bit of ply covered in paint and saw marks would look so good, thanks for sharing, cheers
haha, yeah, the shine of the epoxy gives it a really nice quality
I love that you used a section of your old saw up bench as the top and epoxied it.. it looks fantastic! Loving your builds.
Just found your channel and am SO INSPIRED!! Thanks for the terrific videos, projects, ideas, techniques and inspiration!
SLICK, cool jointer plainer combo action!
thanks david! that maschine is a dream...unfortunatelly it´s not mine. my friend stores it at my shop until he finds a new place for it...until then i will use it as much as i can :)
Very nice. Excellent joinery work. If you ever get fed up with it as a coffee table, you can hang the top on the wall as a piece of art. Actually, if you still have some table top leftovers, cut them into smaller pieces and frame them. Hang them over the couch to accentuate the coffee table.
hmm, cool idea!
As a follow sentimentalist, I love the table! What a great memento you have now!
:) yeah, i will keep this one forever to always remeber the great time i had!
Your creativity know no bounds Laura! Great project, great video and great music. Love it all. Cheers.
awesome, thanks!
Creative way to up cycle. Definitely inspired me to start looking around my shop for new project ideas. Awesome video
awesome! that´s the best feedback i could ask for!
It is great idea with the resin on the top of the coffee table. You can cover with it some interesting objects or photos. Inspiring. As always. Thank you.
yeah, diresta has a pretty cool video called "the rat stool" where he conserves all kinds of stuff in resin...pretty cool video!
Wow! Las imágenes lo dicen todo!. Hermoso trabajo!
I think the table top is stunningly good! Fantastic!
thanks!
Nicely done Laura. I really like the idea of the swiveling clips to attach the top.
thanks, scott...did them for the first time and i love the technique!
Great table like the top and your use of epoxy to help protect it. Also the natural finish on it as well. Great work thanks for sharing.
thanks for watching, robert!
Love it, looks like an abstract painting.
i agree, i am really happy with the look
Wonderful project! I love the idea of re-using the workbench top. My grandfather did a lot of paintings and sold them at flea markets. This would have been a great way to save the top from his drawing table. Fairly sure it is long gone though.
ahhh, that would have made a great table i am sure! thanks paul
Damn girl...Now THAT'S upcycling!! Beautiful work!
:) thanks, josh!
Fantastic project and excellent video editing. You're raising the bar every time!
thanks! glad you like it
I can't express how impressed I am with the idea behind this and the way it came out. I am so glad I subscribe to your channel.
very cool! thanks a lot!!!
Inspiring design and brilliant ideas Laura, thanks for sharing
thanks you for watching!
Nice work Laura! loved that you used your bench top! 👍
thanks, i couldn´t throw it away :)
That clip you made has the grain running the wrong way. It will break off with just a little stress. You could make something similar bending some light bar stock. Even aluminum would do. A "Z" shape. You can find something in the trash. The epoxy on that beat up plywood was a great idea. I love that look.
A piece of art. And so smart that its easy to change the top, if you want another look. Have anice week
exactly, i might make another tabke top that is more traditional so i can switch them depending on what i like :)
That would be nice and easy :)
Classic joinery under an abstract expressionist top. Very exciting torch work on the epoxy. Excellent build and an excellent video.
thanks george!
Beautyful table and great to see the process!
Oh my God, once I realized what ye were doing with the top I just wanted to start screaming and jumping around! So, so, very awesome...
haha, cool to hear that you got so excited about it!! thanks
+Laura Kampf You're most welcome! I love it when anyone likes crafting out of junk anywhere near as much as I do!
Not sure what is better.. The build or the filmography. Such talented edit work. Must have at least doubled build time.
yes, the filming adds probably 100 percent of worktime and the editing, uploading, social media, thumbnails, decribtion, comments and what not another 100 percent :)
Nice and modern look for your coffee table Laura...and very good technic skill.
thanks, patrick!
Great as usual :) I love the concept of using that table top! Keep rocking my friend :D
thanks friend! happy you like it
Laura the design of the frame of the table is a really good idea,and the top was a very cool use of your old track saw backer board,thanks for sharing,all the best to you and yours
thanks, big ron!
Great table. Love the re-use of a "work-top". Like the t-shirt.
thanks! i love that shirt
thats pure art! love the concept and love the build.
