Don't be down on your casters, bro. That's a great table that will likely last you for the rest of your life. Being able to move it and clean the debris out from under the edges of the wood will add years of life to the lower parts and save you a ton of trouble later. I say kudos to you for getting out there and doing it with just your skills and minimal tools.

Thanks for the encouragement. It’s tough building with limited tools. The KZreadrs with the dedicated shop and tools makes it look easy and effortless but this was not the case.

@@ImMakingIt I know ! I always have to improvise to make some of the things I see these guys making in their shops ! But I , like you, always come out with a great finished product that looks good and serves its purpose. And we didn't have to spend $20,000 n a shop to do it !!

Pro tip: when you're struggling with the glue drying on you rather than using your hands and pouring it over, try a cheap paint tray and small paint roller ✌

Man thank you for making this, it was hard to start a project like this without seeing what to do without all of these expensive tools

As soon as I saw you start to build the legs out of 2×4 and 2×2 I knew that table was going to be HEAVY lol. No matter though. That thing is going to last for decades sheerly due to how solid its construction is. Props, man

When you clipped over to the table at a new angle @9:35 I was SHOOK at how good the table looked after planing.

Casters look just fine. Adds some extra character to a really nice table. Plus it makes it super easy to move! Great video

absolutely love this! very professional and like an earlier commenter said. You will have it for the rest of your life and its something to show off and be proud of! amazing!

For someone like me who is just getting started building things, this is so helpful to list your full process and materials! Thank you so much!

Great job. Build things that fulfill their purpose, learn from others who have more experience (usually meaning they’ve made a lot of mistakes), and don’t worry about the rest. Darlington, South Carolina

Absolutely fantastic. 👍🏻 love that the whole family worked together. 😊 The casters we’re a brilliant idea. 🤔👍🏻

The casters are genius. This table is awesome, thanks for sharing!

Love it! Say what you will about pine, fir, spruce or other soft wood. They age well and then, any dings and scratches that are depressing on almost any other woods only adds character to them. What I like to do instead of hiding screws is to remove them one by one once the glue is set, drill a larger hole and glue in a dowel of contrasting colour. It looks very much on purpose and has never failed me thus far. Also : connecting the sander to a vacuum will it speeds up the sanding by a lot.

Great Job! I don't think the casters take anything away from the looks and adds so much functionality.

Great job on the table! I love the look. I might try this for a counter top and stagger the boards for a different look!

I’m doing this technique kinda for my reloading bench. I need to get a plainer for sure. And I must add you did a wonderful job on that table/work bench

Looks very nice !! I like the finishing touch of how it looks !! 😊

Beautifully done table and well-presented video! Thank you for sharing your process. As a thought on your casters, it looks like you could attach them on the interior sides of the legs to make them less visible if you wanted to. Brilliant work, regardless!

Excellent video. Thank you very much. I like your easy design and assembly without a lot of fancy tools that you may never use again.

I built a monster table using all 4x4 for the base and 2x12 for the top. Your video has given me an idea on how to move the table. You could make a sleeve that has the casters on it. That way you lift each side and slip the sleeves under it. It’s extra stuff to keep around but it doesn’t mess with the aesthetic of the table.

Outstanding! That’s a beautiful piece! Thanks a million for the video.

Very cool table! I might give something like this a try for the patio.

Great job, paint your casters to blend in with the timber. Maybe even put them on the inside, it will be harder to operate them but you won’t see them as easily.cheers Wiz

Looks beautiful and very functional. Thank you for sharing

Love the sawdust tip! And I really love the table base.

really lovely table and the way you showed everything very inspiring thanks for sharing

Great project it came out amazing! Good info in the description too. Keep making videos!

Hello sir, as they say, woodworkers or builders are their worst critics. I think the movability of the table well outweighs the look of the casters and was a good decision. Nice table.

You did a great job made it look not to bad where others could have confidence . thankful

Looks great. Really appreciate the video. I have a 4x8 steel work bench that is a bear to move...thanks for the idea of the castors. I like the height of my table now, and these will keep the height the same. Happy New Year to you and your family.

I'm a DIY myself. You did a fantastic job friend!

I love how "not so confident" you sounded in the beginning and then BOOM! You made one of the best home made tables I've ever seen. Great work. I look forward to more crafts. Will definitely share your page and get more to subscribe. Great stuff man.

Great and simple man. Sure there are ways to make it more complicated or intricate. But for about $200 bucks, that's an awesome table people pay $1000s for. Well done!

So cool! Great video and really helpful. Thanks so much! Nice job. :)

Great Job..awesome idea with the casters!

Great Video, well presented, it turned out awesome, looks absolutely fantastic, well done.

Beautiful job love the casters makes moving so nice

Nice patio, good idea to have it double as a workbench

Great job brother! I love the design.

Nice table! Great build and video work I hope it brings you many years of satisfaction.

I like your leg assembly. I thought the built up mortise and tenon joint was pretty clever to be honest.

This video is awesome- simple and to the point, and the table rules- I love how the shellac brought out the different shades/patterns in the wood.. Thank you for sharing- subbed!

You did well with the planing. I always seem to plane lines into things I try it with.

Great table. Awesome job.👍

Great work! Love the amber color!

An easier way to get the same results. Rip 2x6 boards down the middle, avoiding the second run through the table saw. Then use the cut ends up just like the 2x4s. The bottom of the table will have all of the rounded-over edges, but for my application (workbench) it doesn’t matter at all. Less waste than cutting both round-overs and the thickness of the table will be the same (actually .25” thinner). Great job with the build!

Is slightly cheaper but 2x4 studs are the worst lumber from the youngest trees and usually has pith directly in the middle. Can avoid that sometimes by going to somewhere else other than the chain box stores.@@judichristopher4604

9:51 YES YES YES This man knows what he is doing... I have been in the Furniture Refinishing Business for many years... and it kills me when someone doesn't use TACK CLOTH to wipe it down between EACH Sanding...

That is a WORK OF ART.... BEAUTIFUL

Nice work, l made a work bench last year. The glue process is actually quite stressful and a planer and belt sander really helped to finish.

You’re right about the glue process. Off camera I was so frustrated that I rubbed the glue on with my hands and it took about a minute to complete the glue up. Much quicker then a brush but not even coverage

Awesome table. I just bought 2×4's yesterday.

great job, i was amazed through out

That's is awesome. Job well done. Makes me want to go make one for my porch.

Nice job, thanks for posting!

Nice job! I use the same method filling holes, nicks, and cracks with the sawdust and glue mixture too. It makes for a good color match. A friend told me about Durhams Rock Hard Water Putty. I’ve used it on occasion and I’m happy with the results. It’s inexpensive too. Give it a try, I think you’ll like it.

You could drill a clearance hole all the way through the 4x4 where the caster screws are and replace them with carriage bolts and a wingnut to make them easily removable. Jut a thought. Great table though either way.

Awesome table!!!

VERY NICE! CASTERS LOOK GOOD.

Super nice work , great video .

Beautiful!! Very nice and im about to tempy my first build myself.

The casters don’t look bad at all! Yea they don’t match or what not but the table shadows that! You did a awesome job!

Beautiful work!

I like some of what you did. The way the base is built gives ya plenty of "toe space" and it can be used as a pic Nik table as well as a work bench. The casters are nice and The shellac looks good (I wouldn't have thought of that.

I think the casters add a real nice contrast to the colors of the wood! Like it was meant to be. To me any black metal adds a nice touch

Awesome, thanks for sharing.

Not to bad. Love the casters.

That's a cool table , great job bro!

Wow. Great build. Fun to watch.

Great build!

I think if you install Caster Wheels on the other side, it won't be that much visible BUT OVERALL you did a marvelous job!!!

This is awesome dude!

Good vid! And excellent table!!! Thanks!

Thanks I enjoyed this segment. I took your idea one step further and made it my dinning room table with rounded edges. Never done this before and definitely never used a router so my test pile is larger than the table 😅. In the end the table turned out like a pro and my wife let me get a couple more tools. Thank you instructions were spot on. Thanks

As the wood shrinks, the screws/lags would be nice to have access to be able to tighten them up.

precise and original, like it

That’s a nice build ❤

Great job. But here is my Creative Critique......if you don't mind. After a couple of coats of Shellac, you should wait for a Day or so, then Sand the entire Table and then Re-Coat it. If you don't do this, the Wood fibers stand out and the whole surface feels rough. Also you could have put the Castors on the Inside of the Legs so they would not be so visible and an Eye Sore. You can still do both of the things I mentioned. Good job anyway. I am an Auto Painter anyway, been painting for 42 years.

Looks great, you can buy furniture sliders that fit under each leg which would be a lot better than the casters.

Good looking table!

Move the casters to the inside of the table legs.. Not as noticeable .. Nice job.
