Sir, I am deaf. In additional to youtube's auto-captioning which is not a perfect technology (yet), but to use your hand to point at things and "gestured" on how to do them was a great help to me. Keep up good work! I have subscribed with you. Blessings.

Thanks to these instructions I made one for my kitchen and have been enjoying it for about 8 months. I painted the base turquoise and the top I made with laminated popular which I painted white. Now I'm getting ready to do another one as the top has been used for my coffee bar and spice rack I made. Now I have no place to prep food. Thanks Vintage Revivals Home and Garden Decor.

Hi, it’s been a while since I posted this so don’t remember. But, the whole project was designed around the top which was salvaged from an IKEA coffee table that had a broken leg. There needs to be approximately a 1& 1/2” overhang on the top so we made the base smaller by that amount on all sides. So, if you have a top to use, you can construct the base with this method to your size requirements. I hope this helps. Thx Dan

It's very similar to my workbench, also using Kreg pocket hole system, I built. Many compliments. My 1st build ever. No-one could believe I built it.
I need a kitchen island, never thought to use this plan, thanks.

You did it in 6 minutes or less, good carpentry. I would do that in probabaly 8 hrs., I like this basic tutorial anyway and I am sure there is more into craftsmanship than speed. Thanks

Thank you very much. Enjoyed your video and I have the tools and the need! This is just what I need in the pantry as a work table and to store the mixer and crockpot, etc. Humidity is a real problem in the northeast in Summer. I will need to attach top so it can handle the swelling and shrinking of that big piece of pine I have been saving. Everything really shrinks down in winter during the heating season. One thing I do is seal all surfaces, sides top and bottom which helps.

[zslfabulousmommy]

So nice thanks for the tutorial. I have a diy kitchen island on my channel thanks so much for the video

What size screws did you used for attaching the top and shelf. Thanks. I’m making on this week. Just adjusting the size a little.

Nice job sir, however if you don’t use glue with a pine structure it will loosen up In time, good thing you screwed it together so when you need to reinforce it you can glue it then 👍🇺🇸

How many coats of paint on the legs did u use?

[ohadchen]

Do you have a similar project only with storage option?

[karamessina]

How much weight can the bottom shelves handle? I'm looking to make this, but want to make sure it can hold my kitchen aid, cast iron skillets, other kitchen gear.

I was wondering about sanding the table before it's painted. Do you sand the full lengths of the 2" x 4"s, or each individual cut piece before assembly, or sand the whole piece after assembly. This may be one of those common sense questions, but...Thanks.

[lisabenoist]

how many inches up was the bottom apron put?

[mvpcardinal]

Great video. Was curious how much you charge for a table like that.

[julienmonneron]

Hey ! Well Done !
Which paints have you used ?

Screwing the top to the base doesn't allow for expanding and contraction.
