Hardwood Table For $2.00 A Square Foot (Impossible?)...

I Use Bulk Hardwood Flooring To Attempt To Build A Dining Table With Minimal Tools For A Fraction Of The Price. I built a table using hardwood tongue and groove boards, similar to my earlier coffee table build. The result is a great hardwood surface.

The elegance of the simplicity in this is just amazing

Finally a use for the load of spare veneer flooring tiles I’ve got laying around in a cupboard under the stairs

I did this 7 years ago for our dining table and it has been amazing. I used 6" wide hand scraped Maple from a local flooring store. They only had two boxes left. Discontinued product and leftover from an install. I got it for $60 and its beautiful. I did a breadboard end design, and trimmed with some Maple from a local wood store. I have left the planks finished as they were from the box and it has been so durable. We now have a 2 year old boy and it's getting some serious love.
Nice job!

The table looks sharp and great colour. You could try drilling tongue at a 45 degree angle then putting the nail in. It saves filling all those nail holes. I've done eucalypt floors and we actually clamp the boards together. It's usually shrinkage in the timber that happens, so no need for a gap. Not criticising what you've done, just some suggestions to think about in the future.

Man that looked ROUGH until . But you persisted and kept at it, and it looks BEAUTIFUL in the end!

[EPSTomcat]

Very nice, thanks for taking us along the journey of building this beautiful table. It’s also great to know this is even possible, as it opens up a lot of creative possibilities, like pre-staining the pieces in slightly different shades before assembling them.

[BackBasix]

Awesome job. Your patience is refreshing. 👍🏽👍🏽

[yaronamaral]

This simplicity let all the project amazing, congratulations, Hi from Brazil

[mattrubbo]

These vids are therapeutic, I subbed so fast my man

[erniegilman]

What a great idea and design! And thank you for suffering for us as regards spaces between the pieces of wood. I would have thought such spaces were necessary because the wood widths were not exact enough to create a clean surface... but you proved they're VERY precisely cut!

Now, of course, the one thing that bothers me about the table: From the time when I was only about four years old and was investigating everything in the house... and I saw that the bottom of the dining room table was not finished... I've always complimented designs that finish even the side that nobody would theoretically ever look at.

But hey, the bottom of your table looks great! UNTIL you see that those legs are held in place by flathead screws though the table leg has cylindrical mounting holes. Come on! Pan head or Truss head screws, or countersunk through holes in the leg assembly, are the right kind of screws to use here.

Thanks for the project!

Very nice step by step instructions. Have some extra wood flooring and will be making a desk using a similar method, albeit its pre-finished.

[WestalSage]

looks killer! I'm about to make a smaller version with some leftover flooring just like this

[HondaCivicEF]

Really nice table and sick music too during 4:48

[LilFran]

I'm going to make a kitchen countertop for your RV using this method. I love

[patrickschardt]
