Dining Room Table Part 4
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video I complete the dining table by constructing the table top, gluing up the base assembly, sanding, applying dye, and finishing with a wiping varnish. The finished table top measures 42” x 74” x 13/16” thick. The table top has a 45 degree under bevel and a swept ¼” round over applied to the edge. After sanding to 180 grit, I applied Transtint Dark Walnut Dye diluted with denatured alcohol to create an even consistent color. I applied a shop made wiping varnish of equal parts polyurethane, mineral spirits, and boiled linseed oil. The table took approximately 2 months to complete.

very nice Huy! I love the finished table. I also like to even out the tone of large walnut pieces before I finish them. Ive not used dye yet, but I have used black walnut colored danish oil.

Hey Matt! Thanks for watching! I have not tried black walnut colored Danish oil but it would probably perform similarly to dye. I'm wondering if adding dye to my wiping varnish recipe would have the same effect? Something I might try for the future. Thanks for that bit of information.

yep. with the right kind of dye/tint it should work. Not sure if transtint mixes with poly or just alcohol.

Great job, Huy. Can't believe I waited 4 episodes to see how you were going to cut that under bevel and then you bailed on it! I ended up buying a 60 degree chamfer bit from Woodcraft to cut mine. It came out great and lightened up the edge quite a bit. Again, great job and I appreciate you sharing.

Happy Horned Frog I feel terrible that I bailed on making a 60 degree under bevel. Once my wife saw the edge 45 degree bevel she said she didn't anything other than a swept round over. I thought about just doing a 60 degree bevel but thought she might not like it as much. I hope you weren't too disappointed. Thank you for watching!

Hey Huy, great outcome for your series. You have a skill for sharing your process and thought process. Someday I hope to be as good as you. Please share your finishing process. I've been working on a side table and I could use a little more inspiration from your experience. I also want to see how you attached your top. I've been planning threaded inserts 1/4-20 similar to yours. I'd like to see how you did yours in more detail. Thank you for sharing.

Hugo Danilo I had explained my table top attachment method in my trestle table build video and I probably should have talked in greater detail about my methodology in this video as well. I will likely make dedicated video talking specifically about table top attachment. In the mean time check out the last video on my trestle table build series. It might answer some questions. I may also make a video specific to applying a wipe on varnish. It's really quite simple. Apply a thin coat, lightly sand with 0000 steel wool to eliminate raised grain and dust nibs, rinse and repeat until you build up a level of protection that you like. I hope this helps. Let me know if I can help further.

Thank you for watching. I would probably use ball bearing drawer slides attached to an apron sub-assembly and make a Walnut veneer table top. The a stationary apron would join the two leg assemblies as the apron sub-assembly would allow the table top to expand out and fold open a butterfly leaf. My buddy Guy from GuysWoodshop (KZread and Instagram) did a butterfly leaf table about a year ago. I would probably use his methodology. His video on building a butterfly leaf dining table would be an excellent source if you were looking to build one yourself.

Thank you for the response, wanted a solid wood top but that would probably not be stable enough with an extension. Looking forward to your next video
Very nice table and great videos! I'm currently getting ready to build a new shop and saw in your shop tour video that you have some grizzly equipment. I'm thinking about purchasing a new grizzly 8" jointer and 15" or 20" planner both with spiral head cutters. I understand a lot of precision and the way the tool performs comes with the set up of the tool. But I'm wondering how you like your grizzly equipment and if you would purchase them again? Also would you purchase a different size in either one if you were to do it over? Thanks, Charlie
@AlabamaWoodworker

Charles Semken Jr. I own the 8" jointer and 15" planer with Shellix cutter heads. Ideally, I'd prefer a jointer the same size as my planer, but that would have been much more expensive. Given my budget, these were great values and I would buy then again. Setup is everything and a common misconception is "setup once and forget it." Machines liked these, especially a jointer need to be checked every now and then. I do a check and readjustment if needed twice a year. Usually it's a small adjustment but it is necessary. In my experience, even the really expensive tools need to be checked. I hope this helps.
I personally feel like the top is too thin for the legs, but otherwise the project turned out great! Planning to make 4 chairs next? or two benches?

Brian No chairs or benches planned. My wife wants to sit at the table before next year! Haha! I'm planning a Arts and Crafts style sewing table and stool with a "floating" top as my next build. I appreciate your comment on the top thickness. Definitely something to consider in the future. Thank you for watching!
Never noticed your dust collection before but I like it, it's unique. Tried searching your other videos but couldn't find any that were dedicated to that system. Is this your main system? How did you get it to swivel at the top and why not a larger diameter hose, was it because of the weight? Always enjoy your work, great job!

Great job huy. How do you like the finish? I'm about to finish some walnut myself and I'm curious about adding the BLO
@AlabamaWoodworker
7 жыл бұрын
jake devillier I like the finish a lot. I've used this formulation on many different projects with great success. This blend is a variation on Danish Oil. Thank might be a good idea to incrementally vary the amount of BLO you use and test it out on some test pieces until you find a formulation you like. Oil really adds a lot to the grain of wood.

AlabamaWoodworker thanks, I'm gonna give it it a shot. How long did you wait after applying it before you sanded it with steel wool? And then how long before another coat?
@AlabamaWoodworker
7 жыл бұрын
jake devillier I sanded after about 4 hours. You might not need to wait that long. Depends on how much mineral spirits you add to your formula. More mineral spirits will decrease your wait time. Just make sure the surface isn't tacky. After sanding, wipe off the surface with a tack cloth or rag and then reapply. Lightly sand, don't push down too hard or you'll sand away your finish. Hope thus helps.
