How to Make an Epoxy Top Farmhouse Table and Bench with OLD DOOR
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 авг 2024
- In this episode of Second Son Woodworks, I make a farmhouse table from an old door. See below for more information:
Watch me build a dining room table and bench using an old farmhouse door, black galvanized steel plumbers pipe for the bases, a 2x10 for the bench top, and table top epoxy resin for the tops. This is a super straight-forward #diyproject that anyone can complete with a little bit of concentration and effort. This is a great project for anyone who needs a really durable #diningroomtable.
The tools I used for this project include a circular saw, miter saw, palm router with a quarter round bit, orbital sander, speed square, jointer, and table saw. There are links for the products I used below.

beautiful. well shot and enjoyable to watch. thanks
Thank you for the comment the support! Cheers!
Very impressive, turned out beautifully! Thank you so much for your video, and you gave me ideas on how to fix my dilemma about table legs for the closet door that I want to turn into a table.
Peace in abundance
Thank you for the comment and for watching! Glad to help. Be sure to check out my other videos :)
Great job!
Tim Buck II thank you!!
Nice!!
BookofIsaiah (Matt B) thank you!
Woo!!
Yeah buddy!!
Just some advice, next time tape the edge of the entire table, then pour. After the top cures to a honey like thick consistency then pull tape and let it flow. Pouring directly on top with no tape edge is basically just $$$ pouring onto the floor...lol. Hope this helps...👍
Good idea! Thanks for watching
looks great! i'm working on one right now. so you just poured in the panels all at once and it dries ok? and doesn't leak through the bottom? i have been reading some things where it says to layer it and let dry between layers. and how much epoxy did you end up using? my door is probably similar in size.
LeAnn thank you! Sorry for the late reply. Yep! Just make sure you blow all the air bubbles out. It self levels and dries great! I think I used 3 1/2 gallons, so quite a bit!
I may have a few questions along this process, but my first question is the seal coat. I didn’t see you apply one. Did you? Also, how did you know how much epoxy to make for each indented panel, because I figure you to do each of those separately but you don’t want to make too much. Also when you did the flood coat over the top, did you sand the top of those panel portions so they would affix? I am so nervous to work on this project, but my door is finally sanded and ready and I figure I should start. I know I will do a little test project first but no matter...
I didn't see the need to apply one because the wood wasn't too porous and/or it didn't have any holes; so I wasn't worried about bubbles. Great question! There are some helpful videos out there on how to estimate the amount of epoxy for a project like this (ruclips.net/video/vbv9RyUHyFg/видео.html). I was way off on my estimation and wish I had done some calculations. I also didn't do, but may be a good idea, although I didn't have any issues. Good luck with the build!
@@SecondSonWoodworks how many gallons did you use? Thank you
1st to comment. That table looks superb. Very nice job Caleb. Cheers Huw
Huw Davies thank you Huw! I appreciate the support 🙏🏻
I am planning on using epoxy to cover an old door to use as a desk top...it’s tile painted...old paint...has an awesome crackle finish that I want to maintain...I have a few questions...I have used epoxy before on a flat surface bare wood and directions said to cover with water based polyurethane first to seal it which I did...it turned out awesome...my questions for doing the door are as follows...the door has old paint...not sure if it’s oil based or water based paint...there is a finish under the paint showing thru the cracks in the paint...do I need to cover with water based poly to seal it before I use the epoxy? Or do I need to sand the paint...without losing the effects of the cracking? Will the epoxy divot where the recessed panels are on the door??or if I get enough will it fill and level? I know my counter I did does have a small low spot where there was a spot sanded out...but that could have been my fault for not putting a thick enough coat of epoxy...hope you can help! By the way your table looks awesome
Thanks for watching and for the comment. I think it totally depends on the condition of the wood. Likewise, I have always heard that you used a sealant to prevent bubbles. Good luck with the pour and make sure you read the directions on the product you use. Cheers!
Also...how long did it take for the epoxy to finish curing?? And how bad does it smell...I’m going to have to do it inside because my dog makes it too dusty in my garage
It took a while, like 24-48 hours. It has a very strong smell. Try and close off the room you do it in and put a heater/fan on it to speed things up. Just watch for dust.
How long are the larger sections of pipe for long horizontal support? Is that 2 of the 24 inch sections tied together?
Yes I believe they are 2 of the 24 inches or I may have found a 48 inch piece, it’s been several years so I can’t remember exactly
How many gallons of Epoxy did you get to do the whole table ? Did you get two pairs or 3 pairs
Veronica Mendoza 2 and a half
I have this exact project how much epoxy did you wind up using
About four and half gallons! Thanks for watching, be sure to check out my other videos and subscribe 🙏🏻
Your table is amazing. I was inspired to turn one of my 5 panel doors into a table. I only partially sanded off the white paint, leaving the table top looking distressed. That left it with a very interesting look. We finished the epoxy yesterday. Your guidance was perfect, especially since this was our first time working with epoxy. Today I want to build the table base (I do not want a bench). Do you have a material list for the pipe sizes needed to make the table base?
Thank you for the comment and sharing about you table. Glad that my video was helpful :) There is a list of products in the description from amazon, but you can also get from any local building supply store. I would recommend 3/4" pipe as it looks great in proportion to tables like this.
Did you fill the hardware holes? How?
Epoxy resin
How much epoxy did you use for the table
Its been a bit but I think around 2.5 gallons.
What length of pipe was used
I don't remember the exact lengths of the pipes and I don't own the table! Most of the time for projects like this, I use the standard sizes sold at home depot or other home supply stores. Happy building!
