How To Build a HIGH QUALITY Dining Table with LIMITED TOOLS // #DIY // #Woodworking

I recently got a commission from a local client to build a custom Dining Table top for a set of pre-fabricated steel legs they had previously bought on Etsy. I went to my local lumber supplier and got pre-surfaced 1.75″ thick white oak to build everything out of. I spent $350 on materials and only used 3 power tools: The circular saw, Drill/Driver, and Belt Sander. “Nice projects don’t require tons of tools.” This is something I say all the time… practice what you preach.

  • I think the legs would look better being painted or powder coated.

  • This was great, I have been researching "plywood farmhouse table" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Fenadelyn Esteemed Framework - (search on google )?

    It is a great exclusive guide for discovering how to improve your woodworking skills minus the headache. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my colleague got great success with it.

  • This was great, been searching for "how to make a dining room table of wood" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Fenadelyn Esteemed Framework - (search on google )?

    It is a great one of a kind product for discovering how to improve your woodworking skills minus the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my mate got great results with it.

  • There's something wrong. The video is missing. I only saw a 7 minute commercial.

  • I learned apparently if you put tape down on the wood first (like painters tape) it will help for a smoother straight cut. I'm going to have to test it out for when I build my dinning table. LOVE your video's btw.
