Amazing work, especially considering how you made every single part of this table yourself from raw materials. Thank you for inspiring to cut my own slabs. I don’t know how you don’t have hundreds of thousands of views but you sure deserve more views!
Hey man, a huge thanks, im sorry im slow to respond, but im super grateful for your comment. Im happy that i could inspire you to get into woodworking, i hope you find it exciting and rewarding!
Thank you for doing your videos. I learn more each time I see it, which some cases have been a number of times. It is amazing what you miss the first 2 or 3 times you watch a video. Again thank you
Elm is incredible. I have a few slabs, not big like your but also good size. He is red. First time i saw red elm. When winter will coming here in Poland i will go to dig out him roots. Can't wait. Great video ✌
Always great projects . great delivery and your camera presence and explanation of your work is top notch . It is just a matter of time till your subscribers count sky rockets . All the best .. Look forward to the next video .
Thank you so much Robin. You been here since pretty much the beginning, writing great and motivating comments, I really appreciate it. All the best to you too!
I saw the milling video last year and seeing the final product it just blows my mind, the elm looks amazing, you really did it justice. I do use the chainsaw mill myself but we don't have elm like that around me, mostly oak beech maple and poplar.
@@backstromwoodwork566 It can be incredible, I saw logs 8 meters long clear of knots with amazing medulary rays, and 80-100 cm diameter, but it's not used a lot mostly for firewood since it gets spalted very quick.
Haha yes you got the early bird preview 😄👍 and man so sorry I have a horrible memory. Sawmilling video will be out shortly, it WILL have your name it in
Beautiful wood and craftmanship. What a shop you've created! What kind of people buy your tables? Mostly commercial entities or some private folks too? My best to you!
Crazy idea on this - or maybe not - why not bang 3 routers onto the beam on the flattening sled? Input stuff is 2 more routers, 2 more single phase feeds... but 3 passes in one pass.. Simple but fast..
I think you make some of thr best videos and thanks for such a good explanation. What thikness c channel do you use. And what thiknes top min would you aim for
Thanks Tim!! The c-channels are made from 6mm thick steel. My dry slabs are around 70mm in thickness, and typically i end up with 50-55mm in final thickness. Sometimes they may have to be a little thinner if a slab has a really big cup or twist, that’s why proper stickering and storage is so important when milling slabs, gotta do all we can to keep them as flat as possible as they dry or we might not even be able to use them for slab tables. Take care my friend.
@@backstromwoodwork566 thanks I've started making furniture and love what you do and the information you give for free it is so amazing. I can source airdried slabs at about 20% but don't know how to bring them down to 8% with out a kiln if I made a table with air dried then bought it in I'm assuming it would move all over the place. Take care
Thanks man! Sorry for being super slow to respond, my c-channels are 65mm wide and roughly 28mm deep, so that would be about 2.5x1” (roughly). I use threaded inserts with inside threads being 6mm.
Yes and and no. The recommendation is to dispose of bark and small branches before the next season (elm beetle that spreads the disease is active from april) that’s why I’m removing all the bark off the elm logs. But on the other hand we dont have any elm at all around here, i get these elm logs from a city located a few hours south of us.
would it not be possible to ad a sander ore two to the wood flaterner when you get it motorized. I mean first flattening it whit the router, then switch to sander and make the machine sand it for you while you drink a coup of coffee.
Ohh, sounds nice. I guess great minds think alike. I was thinking that you just could ad your mirka to the machine. Will be interesting to see in a future video.
Hey Buddy! Yes you can, but it takes a long time and costs a lot of money, and you need to precisely control relative humidity and temperature, which lets you decide the rate of drying. Too fast and the wood can get ruined. Airdrying takes even more time, but is a very safe way to dry wood, as long as its not soaking in the sun for too long. Best is to airdry in a shaded area
Tack Mats. Jo jag behandlat kanterna också, men eftersom de har lite grövre textur så brukat det räcka med 1 eller max 2 strykningar, annars kan det de plastigt ut då kanterna drar åt sig mer av oljan
Well done. I love elm. I've been cutting a lot of it. It has so much character.
Beautiful table
Thanks man
Dude! You knocked this out of the park! Everything about this was first class including your video. Stunning slab and table.
Thanks a bunch Randy, always very grateful to recieve your comments. My best wishes to you!
You have really fitting music in your videos. Great work!
Thanks man! One of my videos has music in it that i played myself, not gonna say which though 🙈 anyway thanks for commenting 👍
Agree, very appropriate music. Too many otherwise excellent videos are ruined by jarring, too loud music. Here, the music is perfect.
Beautiful! I would like to see an in depth video on your kiln and drying process. I looked for it but might have overlooked it. Thanks
Thanks dave! I never done a video specifically on the kiln, great suggestion though, i’ll try and make it happen 👍
@@backstromwoodwork566 IT would be very helpful
Beautiful table, very Nordic, fabulous elm.
Thanks a lot Paul, happy you like it.
Excellent music choice for the end. Well done. I am so excited to get my mill going. Hopefully test cutting today or tomorrow!
That music is the dutch anthem in a piano version

One word (WOW) you would make a killing down here. Nice job buddy hope the family doing well. From ontario canada
Hey thanks man, I see a lot a great work from you guys in Canada, would love to visit. Thanks for your well wishes and the same to you!
Very beautiful
Thanks Paul 👍

Outstanding. Beautiful slab.
Thanks a lot Steve!
Very good work! I love it! Beutiful table!😍
Thank you!!
Looks promising, Joel! 🙌🏻
Thanks Jonas! Always nice to see you here
Very nice job.
I think elm has one of the most beautiful grains of the the northern temperate hardwoods.
Thanks Nathan! Yeah I cant argue with you therse, a really nice species of wood both to work and to look at.
Very nice work. I appreciate seeing the way you do things with your explanations.
Thanks a lot Joe!
Piękny!!
Wonderful work and great vid 👍

Thats really cool, I very much appreciate your comment. Beech is something i rarely see around here, its pretty nice right?

I seen that before!🤣 Love it pal so glad see the video amazing still waiting on ma shout out lol🏴👍

@@backstromwoodwork566 love it man big up to u I'll catch up with u shortly.
Top Job
Amazing
Thanks :)
Helt makalöst vackert!!! Hittade din kanal när jag sökte info kring att bygga en cnc router.
Beautiful wood and craftmanship. What a shop you've created! What kind of people buy your tables? Mostly commercial entities or some private folks too? My best to you!
Thanks Phil! It’s a good mix of both private people and business, right now its about 50/50
效果真漂亮呀❤
The oil made it.....Thankyou
Thanks Bruce :)
Crazy idea on this - or maybe not - why not bang 3 routers onto the beam on the flattening sled? Input stuff is 2 more routers, 2 more single phase feeds... but 3 passes in one pass.. Simple but fast..
What oil did you finish the table with?
Osmo hardwaxoil, satin sheen
Sander details please
Done up to 180 grit usually 👍🏴
Hey Gary. The large sander is made by Mirka and the model is named Leros-S. Will be a full review about that sander and its performance coming soon

Beautiful work! What are the dimensions of your C channel, and what size fasteners are you using with that?
Thanks man! Sorry for being super slow to respond, my c-channels are 65mm wide and roughly 28mm deep, so that would be about 2.5x1” (roughly). I use threaded inserts with inside threads being 6mm.
Are you not concerned with spreading dutch elm disease during transport and storage?
Yes and and no. The recommendation is to dispose of bark and small branches before the next season (elm beetle that spreads the disease is active from april) that’s why I’m removing all the bark off the elm logs. But on the other hand we dont have any elm at all around here, i get these elm logs from a city located a few hours south of us.

Haha yes, I have been thinking the same thing, and i do love coffee. There are sanding attachments i can get, and it is on my want/need list :)
Ohh, sounds nice. I guess great minds think alike. I was thinking that you just could ad your mirka to the machine. Will be interesting to see in a future video.
Hello mate can you put fresh cut wood straight into a kiln? Is it essential to air dry the wood first.
Hey Buddy! Yes you can, but it takes a long time and costs a lot of money, and you need to precisely control relative humidity and temperature, which lets you decide the rate of drying. Too fast and the wood can get ruined. Airdrying takes even more time, but is a very safe way to dry wood, as long as its not soaking in the sun for too long. Best is to airdry in a shaded area
Magiskt vackert! Ingen osmo på kanterna?? 🌞 🌞
Tack Mats. Jo jag behandlat kanterna också, men eftersom de har lite grövre textur så brukat det räcka med 1 eller max 2 strykningar, annars kan det de plastigt ut då kanterna drar åt sig mer av oljan
What did you write on the slab after you placed it on the loader forks?
I write width and length measurments and then take a photo of each slab so i can keep track of my inventory
Got it, how do you dry them? Do you store them under roof.
Mästerligt!
Stort tack!
