I like the simplicity. This would make a great table for kids to work on for art projects, etc., and with the storage space. It could become an heirloom piece with a distressed kid finish.
AWESOME video!! Not only have you done a great job with the project but your video creation skills are top notch (not to fast of video but also not too long / slow of a video). It is rare to find someone who can do great work AND make a great video.
Beautiful table, great design job, and fabulous finish. A lot of great tips crammed into this short video. The pre-stain for pine lumber, the Varethane only on top, the 45* trick and the set up on your miter saw with the extended table and fence. I think I am going to take the time to build those little boxes on each side of mine.
That’s a nice build, pocket screws on glue ups I’ve never considered but I see how they work. Pine is very nice to work with & there is a lot of room for finishes to give a distinct look 👍👍👍
Marie, I did notice that what you are using for a pre-sealer or sanding sealer as we used to call it, is not preventing some a the natural blotchy look that pine is know for. One thing I have done is to stain my wood, then put my first coat of poly on. Sand lightly and then wipe a light coat of stain on again. That first coat of poly acts as a sealer and you will get a more even look out of the pine. Love your builds, and keep up the good work.
Thanks for the tip! Might try that. I kind of like the rustic look I get with pre-stain conditioner though, so don't be offended if you see me use it again ;)
Marie, great job! I really like how you encorporated the black pipe into your design (clean lines and a bit of industrial / steam punk feel) and how you fit up the half-lap joints (tight joints!!). If I could offer a word of advice, I think it would be safer to rip the sides of the wood for the x-base before you cut the angles on their ends. I think you would find your push stick would be more effective in feeding the stock by the blade doing that. Once the sides are dimensioned, then cut the angles.
Very nice! I could put drawers in the space to hide all my junk. Eventually thats going to crack d split though. You put the end on cross grain to the top with glue and when the top wants to expand or contract the ends hold tight it and something will have to give.
Great job! I really like this from the storage area to the crossed legs and metal pipe. And I am glad that you used pre-conditioner on the pine or I would have been talking to my iPad screen about the use of it. LOL! What were the basic plans you got; in other words, how did you alter the plans for the table?
I was inspired by plans from Rogue Engineer rogueengineer.com/ You can only get the plans if you've signed up to the Instagram builder's challenge. It was an X style table with a nook underneath that I modified to make full length. I also changed the legs to make them more modern, and added the pipe and steel fitting.
Great question! I would have used the method I demonstrate in my half lap joint video. Here's the link if you want to check it out: ruclips.net/video/Klpn-LutJf8/видео.html
Yes exactly. I used wood conditioner because it is pine wood which tends to look blotchy when stained. The conditioner helps make the stain look more even.

it's great seeing a woman doing woodworking. great work
Thanks Christine! Women in woodworking rock!

Love that idea!
NIce design. I like your use of multiple 2x4s to make the legs rather than say 4x4s and chiseling it out. Kudos!
- Luv all your projects ! ! ! They're easily do-able & attractive. Thanx.
Thank you so much!
Very nice table. The area below the top in a great idea. (TV remotes, magazines etc.)
Keeps the top nice and clean free of clutter.
AWESOME video!! Not only have you done a great job with the project but your video creation skills are top notch (not to fast of video but also not too long / slow of a video). It is rare to find someone who can do great work AND make a great video.
Great Job Marie! Your creativity is limitless.
Thanks Robert!

Thanks Marie. I have same idea for my kitchen table in order to place some dishes and mats for easy access.
That’s a nice build, pocket screws on glue ups I’ve never considered but I see how they work. Pine is very nice to work with & there is a lot of room for finishes to give a distinct look 👍👍👍
Thanks, I don't usually do both screws and glue but figured it was a good approach for 1 by 6 material.
I love that design Marie. Those are some beefy Xs! Nice work and GOOD LUCK!
Thanks! But there are a lot of really creative designs in the contest... Fingers crossed!
Easy to use and clean. Very convenient.
Great project and well executed. Thanks for sharing! I'm really enjoying your videos on your channel, keep it up. Merci Marie.
Thanks man, appreciate it!

Nicely done!!!
Thanks!
Love your style - both of your work and your presentation 👍
Thanks!
Awesome Table
Thanks!
Awesome job Marie!!! I wouldn’t never thought of the coupler on the pipe!!! Definitely will be using that one in the future!
Thanks Sadie, be my guest! I'd love to see what you build with it!
Marie, great job!

Yes I absolutely agree! Was thinking the same as I was ripping them.
Great build!!
Thanks!
great design Marie.warm regard fròm Indonesia😊
Thank you!
Sweet video Marie.
Thanks!

hmmm I see your point.I'm hoping with a table this size it won't be an issue, but I guess we'll see. Something to consider for next time.
Hi Marie, you look great!😊
Why thank you! Hope you like the table too ;)

Thanks Barry, will do!
génial merci pour ton partage a+
Super! Merci!

Well done! Question: had you decided to go with 4x4 lumber for the legs, how would you have made the half-lap cuts in each leg?
Great question! I would have used the method I demonstrate in my half lap joint video. Here's the link if you want to check it out: ruclips.net/video/Klpn-LutJf8/видео.html
How has the table held up? Warping? Splitting with wood movement?
Holding up really well, no issues with wood movement so far.
Question here Marie why are you using wood conditioner is it because you are using pine or shall I say 2x4s can you explain this to me thanks
Yes exactly. I used wood conditioner because it is pine wood which tends to look blotchy when stained. The conditioner helps make the stain look more even.
@@DIYMontreal thanks for your reply Marie
10/10
Thanks :)
Awesome build Marie! Hope you didn't let that text go unanswered at the beginning of the video ;) I have very sensitive headphones.
Haha leave it to you to notice that...
Sensacional muito legal
obrigado!
1st from montreal
Thanks! Montrealers are the best ;)
Beautiful are you taking orders??? :)
Thank you! I'm not taking orders at the current time but this one is for sale. You can email me if interested projects@diymontreal.com
the problems many viewers will probably face are lack of the required tools for the job
Perhaps. Building however requires tools, so this may be motivation to add one two :)
