Pedestal Dining Table Build

Check out this pedestal dining table I just finished! This has been one of my most challenging builds so far, but definitely one of my favorites!

*Tools used in this video*


I made this completely from pine framing lumber, using 16 2x8x8' and 3 2x2x8' boards. The stains used are Minwax Special Walnut and Minwax Weathered Oak. The table is then finished with Minwax matte polycrylic.

The table is 62" in diameter, and 30.5" tall.

I filmed this with a GoPro Hero 6 Black, and edited it in iMovie. Leave a comment and let me know what you think!

Your concept of building the pedestal was simply brilliant.

[ryancummings]

This is a great job! Love that it's done with pine and not exotic or expensive woods; it showcases your talents and creativity!!

Dude when you pulled out the sander to shape that base pillar piece I was in shock lol! The grinder idea seemed to save the day, can't say I would have thought to do that. Great vid for a great build👍

I’ve made your Farmhouse Tables and I’m about to make the matching Coffee Table. Thank you very much! I want to make this for my card table in my game room but I think this one is out of my league 😩

My cousin asked me to make her a round wooden table that comfortably seats 8! It's for her new home being built right now. I don't know if I can make that in my little shed lol . Great work!!!

Guess I need to add on to feet, they are only 36”, they are heavy, but don’t want it to tip.with a 5’ top, 16:27 What do you think?

Good afternoon. Tell me, why did you spend so much time on the production of this beautiful table and use ordinary pine, and not oak, beech, walnut, elm, etc.?

[D.Litvinkovich]

16:10 What are these horizontal planks for? To prevent the tabletop from sagging due to changes in humidity?

[knguyen]

i notice that the surface area you connect the pedestal to the table top is small. two questions:
1- the table top has too much overhang. does the table have tipping issue?
2- I also notice that you build this table out of solid wood. you don't leave any gap for the wood to move ?

I’m about to build my first table using this video as a guide. I was told that using joint biscuits is a better method than dowels. Can you give me some insight on the pros and cons of either method?

[joeahrens]

Won't you have trouble when the top expands & the pieces you added (glued & screwed) don't expand with it?

[shlomko]

Hi great video, can you tell the measure and the angle of the pallets “dress” at 3:40 thanks ahead

[gregwainwright]

Would you happen to have a set of plans? I showed this to my mom and shes now wanting me to build her one just like it!

[gregmorrison]

Do you have sizes of round cuts you made. Looks awesome!!

[empresslona]

What would happen if you bypass the first steps of assembling the wood and just glued the planks together...sorry if that sounds dumb...I was just wondering if it were possible?

[billybabcock]

What are the measurements for the cut outs to make the dress?
