building a dining room table
dude i cannot believe how many comments i'm getting about this thing looking like a football where the hell would anyone get that idea check it out. we are in one of the staging areas in the new showroom for toll gate revival, which is the business i'm gonna be splitting with in my new building as you can see. i've got the shop behind me so with the new showroom i got the wheeling on wanting to create a couple pieces that complemented the vintage look that seth brings to toll gate revival and immediately i went to thinking about live-edge now this project started out as of trying to infuse a little bit of industrial look with these cherry slabs that i had and i was going with this expanded metal river table concept scrap this and mill up some walnut
yeah, i need a massive square i should just karate-chop this one - pah perfect it's so light so i'm a jackass i forgot to clean the live-edge before i put this in the jig it shouldn't be an issue i made a couple reference marks take it out clean the live-edge square all of these so the stitches fit nice and perfect will make a little more manageable and we'll put it back together and glue those suckers in staying with the theme of this video. i'm gonna punch everything in the place tap tap tapperoo this one's hard
gonna cut some plugs to fill all of those screw holes and the one thing you'd want to make sure of is that you're going with the grain if you're trying to match the grain so all the grain on this is going this way. so i'm going to cut them out of this little chunk here in the corner it does look kind of cool (sam: john are you allergic to wood) i'm allergic to a walnut be like i'll be assembling something and i'll be so giddy about it being close to being done but i don't want to take it apart and then i end up
like having to talk myself into taking it apart just because i know it's the right way to do it i'm like, (sam: you're only 2/3 the way thru the project) yeah, yeah like this took is gonna take me three minutes to take apart countersink these finish sanding them and then properly finish like in my heart of hearts, i 100% did not want to take this thing apart so thank you for checking out this builder if you want to see a full playlist of all of my live edge builds i got one queued up for you right here. also one take my spots are on this build woodcraft i've got a link down in the description definitely go check them out and lastly
thank you. one more time for tuning in go put your next project in the face. i'll see you in the next video long distance
