Dang... Nice job! When you started I doubted how that was going to look. Not a rip on your skills, just that it seemed like a difficult task. You did fantastic work and it looks great! Very impressive. 👍🏼
Nicely done! But where are the bowties? They send firewood from the US to England to burn in a giant wood burning electric power plant (to be more "green"), so sending red oak to Taiwan to make furniture from isn't a stretch.
Once I realized it was veneer then I thought that is quite light, so it certainly is possible that they sent red oak veneer to Taiwan to build furniture. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. And you're right. I missed a chance to put a translucent epoxy river in the middle along with some claro walnut bowties. Oh yeah, and LED lighting underneath. Shoot.
@@Wordsnwood Yeah-and don't forget the fact you should have removed all the trim and replaced it with walnut a'la Drew Fisher! Another nice vid. Art. Thanks for sharing.
Nice work young man! I always enjoy your videos. I have always liked these kind of woodworking projects, modifying or altering a piece. Happy holidays to you and your family, cheers William
I acquired a double pedestal table from the roadside-free sign on it. Came with 2 leaves. I took it apart to refinish it. The manufacturer's name was inside--Shin-Lee- from Taiwan. Looked them up-one of there claim to fames was that they used solid American red oak in their tables. Was nicely made. and in fact was solid oak. Had a metal rack and pinion gear for the extension.Looks just like yours only full size.
Looks great! I noticed when you were drilling stuff in the bench vise it was slipping around a little though. Have you considered keeping a piece of leather handy and clamping it in with your workpiece? I found that really helps hold stuff in place.
I think the table top would have looked nicer with a thin strip of darker wood marking the cut, so it looked like the division was meant to be there.. plus that way it could double as an occasional precision-ping pong table :)
Good Video! A quick thought. Do you think if you used something like wood putty, could you make the cut disappear? It's not bad the way you did it. Just a backseat thought about the possibilies. Be safe.
Nice job in a less than ideal scenario. My physique could use a similar removal of 7 inches in the middle after my American thanksgiving meal and leftovers.
Oxalic acid on those water stains will lighten them considerably. But the stain did a good job of hiding them anyway. Really good work on rejoining that top. I have a DowelMax as well; it is an awesome tool.

🙏🙏Thank-you! 🙏🙏
That went a lot better than I expected. Way to go extending the life of that piece!
It sure did, thanks!
Dang... Nice job! When you started I doubted how that was going to look. Not a rip on your skills, just that it seemed like a difficult task. You did fantastic work and it looks great! Very impressive. 👍🏼
I was pretty sure it would work, but not sure that it would look this good at the end!
Outstanding Art! The table turned out great, I really like the methods that you used to cut it down! Very clever!
Thank you so much 😀 So happy with how it turned out.
The refinishing went really well, well done
I could not have hoped for better
It's a solid table, so I'm all for processing it to make it taste different.
Have a nice day.
I'll take it... thanks

@@oakridgeboy6407 yup, according to the youtubes, walnut is the only real wood... 😆
Very interesting project Art. Thank you. Jim.
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice work young man! I always enjoy your videos. I have always liked these kind of woodworking projects, modifying or altering a piece. Happy holidays to you and your family, cheers William
Thank you, William.
Hey Art, That came out really nice!
Hey, thanks!
Nice work! Good to see a new video from you.
this one surprised me.
I acquired a double pedestal table from the roadside-free sign on it. Came with 2 leaves. I took it apart to refinish it. The manufacturer's name was inside--Shin-Lee- from Taiwan. Looked them up-one of there claim to fames was that they used solid American red oak in their tables. Was nicely made. and in fact was solid oak.

interesting bit of history... thanks! Shipping (containers by sea) historically has been kind of ridiculously cheap, so I should not be surprised.
Nice job. Dowelmax is a great tool.
No argument.
Nice job Art!
Thanks!
Very nice!
Thanks!
Looks great! I noticed when you were drilling stuff in the bench vise it was slipping around a little though. Have you considered keeping a piece of leather handy and clamping it in with your workpiece? I found that really helps hold stuff in place.
Not yet! but I should fix that. Thanks for the reminder.

Ping pong is not my game.... 😁
👍

Good Video! A quick thought. Do you think if you used something like wood putty, could you make the cut disappear? It's not bad the way you did it. Just a backseat thought about the possibilies. Be safe.
Nope, because with seven inches out, the change in grain is also very obvious. Nice thought, though.
Good job Art! I really enjoyed this video. I felt your nervousness when you were going to make that first cut.
Point of no return... I was.
Nice job in a less than ideal scenario. My physique could use a similar removal of 7 inches in the middle after my American thanksgiving meal and leftovers.
LOL! 🦃🦃
p̶r̶o̶m̶o̶s̶m̶
First
Yup. 👏👏👏
Oxalic acid on those water stains will lighten them considerably. But the stain did a good job of hiding them anyway. Really good work on rejoining that top.
I have a DowelMax as well; it is an awesome tool.
I have seen people use oxalic, but I don't have any... maybe next time. Thanks!
Nice job Art, that came out great.
Any time the dowelmax gets some screen time, the better.👍
Such a well built useful jig.
