How to Make a Table Top with Flooring Planks

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Here at Real Antique Wood, we mill our own reclaimed wood flooring planks and are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to use the material to manufacture table tops.
In this video, Tom and Anthony show and discuss the steps we follow when developing a tabletop often seen in restaurants.

    This is positively brilliant! Thanks guys for the excellent video. I love the simple, but rugged construction. I was trying to figure out how to make a nice dining table top without breaking the bank, and this is perfect.

    Making a top for a window bench seat out of 3/4" plywood and 3/4" x 2 1/4" red oak flooring. Thanks for this video, now I'm ready to glue, nail, trim, and band! Thanks!

    Awesome! I am refitting a pair of drafting tables for my husband and I, and have some lovely, salvaged 1940's hardwood I want to use to make the tabletop. The boards are stunners, and I figured this project will give me a better handle on using the planks, so I will be ready to make the custom countertops (and other surfaces) in our home. I have some industrial contact cement that we had left over from a small parquet floor project, but wasn't sure it was appropriate for my 3" floor boards. Since the desktops only measure 42" x 26", i can cover the plywood without using "shorts," but what glue do you recommend? I usually have tile mastic/adhesive around, so would that work? Also, should I rout or cut trim from the floor planks for the 4 edges I will have exposed? Thanks so much!! I look forward to more words of wisdom!

    Very nice tutorial! What kind of plywood was used? It looks like birch veneer. I assume maple or oak veneer could be used as well?

    Nice work! It looks like the trim along the sides stops before the breadboard. Why is that? Why not trim in the breadboard too?

    Hey yall, I'm doing the same this but just for myself. I noticed yall glued all the dominos and the breadboard itself to the body of the top... do you not need to account for expanding and contracting of the flooring when you adhere it to the plywood subflooring?

    Thanks guys. This is exactly the video I was looking for. Over the years and after several different flooring projects I've ended up with several boxes of good hardwood flooring. I was trying to figure out what to do with it. Great video. Thanks for talking through each step. This was incredibly helpful. I do have one question. Would you guys see any benefit to squaring up the long ends of the floor boards (cutting off the tongue and groove) and then gluing them together with biscuits? Would that allow you to get a tighter joint between each of the floor boards?

    Hi Kile - thanks for the feedback! To be honest, you'd be doing more work by ripping off the tongue and grooves and using biscuits. The T&G essentially do the same thing as the biscuits would and hold just a strong of a bond. If you use the screwdriver trick and "pull" the board towards its neighbor, you would close any gaps that may come up.

    @@aprildsteele Glueing the T&G isn't totally necessary and you have the potential for more glue coming through the top of the table which if you have to sand a lot off, could have an effect on the table top itself.
