Turning hardwood flooring into a coffee table || DIY coffee table using red oak hardwood flooring.

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I made a table out of flooring, please understand. It was really nice wood and I wasn’t about to let it go to waste. It’s not THAT bad if it looks like a floor. It is an EXPERIMENT.

    I have old flooring from my parents house, I think it’s close to 100 years old. Rather than burn these old boards they will now become a project I can give my children and nieces to remember the times they spent at mamaw and papaw’s , thanks for sharing this !

    You totally should, I would recommend it! The only tool you need to start out is a knife. Start carving away and get a feel for the wood, the way it cuts, its strengths, it’s weaknesses, and go from there :)

    This is great. I hope to try something similar but the hardwood flooring instructions, and other KZread woodworking videos, have me really nervous about wood movement. Especially framing it all in as you did. Have you had any issues with this? Thanks for the great video.

    I've looking into this as a cheap way of making table or desk tops. Unless you start with reclaimed materials, or stuff leftover from another project, you will not save any money doing this over just buying a slab of butcher block at one of the big box DIY stores.

    Great job! Why did u choose water based and not Oil based Poly? Would oil based poly be safe on a dining table?

  • @A.Mere.Creator

    @A.Mere.Creator

    3 жыл бұрын

    Water based takes around 10 minutes to dry and is ready for another coat, whereas oil can take up to an entire day, and it’s that much better. For a dining table I would recommend setting aside an hour over a few days to properly finish it. I used oil based on my pine dining video, and in the description there is a good resource on how to apply it. Good luck

    Use a sharp chisel, a card scraper, or a carbide scraper to remove excess glue, and to level out irregularities in the wood. It is typically better to wipe using a damp cloth before the glue sets.
