What is going on Paul? Please don't tell me you have given up on RUclips, your videos were my favorite and I looked forward to them every day. I am not sure what is happening there, I thought Sebastian was back?
Paul, first of all, love your work. I was wondering if you would do a video on finishes and how you prepare the wood and your go to finishes for different purposes, like chairs, verses tables verses cutting boards etc. thanks!
I have a question concerning the size of my project. The tabletop is 63" long x 23"wide. It's 1.25" thick, and the metal frame for the legs I am attaching is 1/8" thick. Will the 16mm bolts I purchased (along with the RampaTec M6 Threaded Inserts) have enough grab to hold the legs safely? Each leg uses 14 bolts. Are the 16mm bolts long enough, or should I go longer? Just curious... Thanks, Paul 😎
Thanks for the video. It was almost exactly what I was looking for. You didn't mention how deep you pre-drilled for the insert. I'm assuming it was 30mm because that's how long the bolts are? Just want to be sure as I've never done this before!
Great video! Do they also make inserts like this that will install into metal as well to accept screw in table legs? I see wood ones everywhere but some tabletops are metal too!
Just discovered your channel and loving it! The idea of using inserts is a great one. I just ordered a sit/stand kit and I plan to mount it to a desktop I am repurposing from an old desk. In tracking down the Rampa stuff, I find I have a bunch of options that I am not sure what the best options are. At the rampa site, those options are thread, Length, material+coating, Diameter and wrench size. Do you have a suggestion on those dimensions? Honestly, I would just be completely guessing and I have to think there is a good 'standard' set of selections for those options that give me the most flexibility and usefulness.
Canadian Woodworks and Paul, I have a question. Is it necessary to use any kind of sealant or glue when screwing in these threaded inserts? I just bought a set of these for my DIY computer table project, and I just want to make sure that the inserts last as long as possible. Any thoughts ?? I had never heard of these before, so this was an excellent tutorial video. Thanks 😎
I personally have never used any glue / sealant when using these inserts. In my opinion not needed. Reasons for using could be if the wood they are going into is not "ideal" soft / wrong size hole. Thanks for watching glad I could help.
So if you only drill as deep as the threaded insert is tall, then put the longer bolt in… doesn’t the bolt get stuck if you know what I mean; or does it keep drilling further down into the wood?
@@CanadianWoodworks I have a follow-up question. I am looking at buying an 8x4 ft solid walnut table. How should the legs (metal or wood) be attached to the top to allow for enough movement? Thanks in advance.
I’m attaching table legs to a walnut table top 2” thick. Of the many different Rampa insets, which one would you suggest for this large desktop? Thank you.
@@CanadianWoodworks I'm just about to do this tomorrow...I have the inserts, the flathead bolts...and 10mm bit...all I need to find is the hex bit!? I have a non-metric hex tool....but one size is to small and next size up is too big. For the M6 size bolt....does anyone know where the best source for a hex drill bit? I don't want to do it by hand as I think I'll have a better result getting it straight in with a drill. I live in the GTA.
I liked watching your channel but what happen.... You used to put up a video almost every day but now there has been nothing for a few months. Was it a business decision to stop posting
It's really great having Sebastian back! Video quality the best.
Looks so much better than the brass ones on Amazon for all the points you mentioned
Paul, so good to click in here and see you have uploaded a video. May you keep having a "Great One"

Quick and right to the point. Excellent

Just found your channel - great content & super helpful for my first big table build!! Thanks!
Awesome Jackie. Any questions just reach out!
Quick and informative video 👍
Awesome sir I'll definitely be using those
Nice video Paul. Short informative and well done!
Nicely done Paul! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Hi Paul. Hope all is well with you and your family . Missing your excellent video's

That's a lot of bolts per leg! But you might want to use slightly longer bolts.

You right, we drilled the length of the bolt less the thickness of the steel of the legs. Thanks for watching.
can you install these inserts into epoxy resin the same way or will the epoxy not grab it like it does in wood?
Great video! Do they also make inserts like this that will install into metal as well to accept screw in table legs? I see wood ones everywhere but some tabletops are metal too!
My guess is yes but I don't know

We use the m6 bolts and inserts most of the time. Lengths from 15mm up to 30mm.
Thanks, Bruce Wayne.
very informative! thank you :)
Glad it was helpful!
WOuld those also work for attaching wooden x shaped legs to a dining table?

Your right, if the bolt is longer you must drill a bit further.
Curious. Why not just use hex screw and washers instead?
A Threaded insert will be much stronger
Great video 👍 thanks for the shout out 👃👃
Hi, will this allow the legs to be removable?
Yes
Hi! Thanks for this video. Where can I buy these? Merci
Great little video Paul!
Are the holes in the metal leg support slotted to allow for wood movement?
The board is not very wide, so we went with larger round holes, the bolts have a large flat head which is nice to not need a washer in this case.
@@CanadianWoodworks I have a follow-up question. I am looking at buying an 8x4 ft solid walnut table. How should the legs (metal or wood) be attached to the top to allow for enough movement? Thanks in advance.
Can the Rampa inserts be used on a poured resin table (no wood)?
Yes we have used them many times in pure epoxy resin, We suggest doing some test to get comfortable with the process, sharp drill bit is important!!
Nice work Paul. And nice hat as well. 👍🏻
Where can I get a hat like that ? Do you have any like this for sale ?
These were a limited run, but I think we should get some more made!
What happens if those come out? I have a table I bought on swap shop and those have come out can I glue them

We commonly use a M6 insert with a 30mm long bolt.

how do i tell which side is the bottom side of my river table?
Up to you to decide
Nifty.
how to prevent swaying sideways
With a wide mounting plate, you shouldn't have any sway.
What to do with ldf tennis table?
You could drill the holes then soak the material in a CA glue then installed the inserts for greater strength
What happened? Have you quit youtube?
Taking a break???
*drops the bolts everywhere*
Me: 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😭😭😭😭
LOL
