9:32 I'm not sure how often you have this situation, but this is how I joint thin panels now. kzread.info/dash/bejne/lGGfuraEhrm6fJc.html It will quite literally change the way you woodwork. I have a second table saw now that I dedicate to it so it is always just setup. I have it installed side by side with my main saw and they share a fence in the middle. I cut to the left and joint to the right. I installed a fence from Very Super Cool Tools (best table saw fence I have used) and its flexibility allows me to do some really cool things. Anyhow, I hope you buy one and find it useful.

The 80s was the last decade of having fun. And living through it

Just after college, I got an almost identical coffee table , without the inlay, that I sanded and stained back in 2000. That table lasted me for another 20 years and I ended up giving it away when we switched decor. I could literally stand on that thing. It was incredibly sturdy and I still miss it!

Built different, man. Things were mad to last. My oak furniture has gone through generations.

So, you took apart a $10 1980's table, rebuilt it with another $100s of wood plus time, just to make it look 80's again. Great work

This cracked me up right from the start because I have that EXACT table, in fact, a set of 2 end tables and a coffee table. And they are indeed from the '80's, and have lasted longer than 2 wives!!!

So much fun watching this video- I especially loved how you gave it back to the goodwill place. Brilliant job as always. Thank you

I love oak, but I like dark oak mission or craftsman style furniture. My kitchen cabinets in my old house were custom red oak with a danish oil finish.

I feel so old and uncool. I liked the table before he worked on it. I guess I just don't have any taste. Great video and it did turn out pretty good.

Thank you for sharing!!! Love the top! Love the legs! But they don’t match. Of course, that’s my opinion and I could never do what you have done. I love to watch people do woodwork. I’m always amazed when things go together with no gaps! I made two things in shop class and didn’t get good grades on either one because even with power tools I couldn’t cut straight lines!

The improvements to the legs and adjusting their placement to make the tabletop extend past them was smart and modernized the look, well done.

I have a very very similar table, w/o the 80s decorative inlay or 80s decorative channel. I actually have 2 side tables and a coffee table that all match. I’ve always thought about refinishing them. Now this has inspired me to follow through with it.

12:10 ".......... i nailed it to the bench" 😂😂😂😂 gettin a good laugh outta that. so relatable, too.

I love the fact you do these upgrades for the masses.❤

8:18 this definitely has an MC Escher vibe to it, so cool

My mom has that same end table! To be fair I think she got it from the goodwill also decades ago

Of all the things you can build from oak, the best thing is a fire.

Thank you! I loathe the whole '80's Golden Oak aesthetic, with all the fake-fancy veneer and those massive roundovers. Thank you from rescuing that table from an eternity trapped in a low-budget knock-off of Miami Vice.

The tabletop is gorgeous! 👍👍👍

Cool project Dave and you didn’t disappoint me……I was waiting for “Sand in the place where you live”. Love it

That was cool and selfless. Improving it and then donating it back that’s a classy, man. Kudos 👍🏽

Awesome rebuild of that old table David! I also like that you took it to Goodwill! 👍👍👏👏

I bought the same table new in the 90's, and I still have it, don't know why. 🙃That would be a nice winter project to re-create it. 👍

Best sanding clip ever 😂😂

Definitely loving the design you put on the top. This came out great!

I have that set, along with solid oak California king waterbed with Mr & mrs dresser, hutch mirror, and oak Dining room set. All are solid oak, heavy as lead. They don’t make anything like that anymore. Raised two kids, 3 dogs, ten+ cats…still looks like new. Not understanding your dislike of oak, but to each their own 😊 My husband has corrected me, this looks similar to ours…must have been a popular design

That squarespace ad is smooth.

Fantastic work, Dave! It turned out more than beautiful! Nicely done! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

That Q-bert looking design on the top veneer that he made means the 1980’s is still represented in this table. Well-played, sir. 😏

Great work! This is the kind of content I love. Keep these types of videos coming

I love that you got it from goodwill and donated it back to goodwill!

Modern day twist on the Ship of Theseus paradox with a circle of life vibe. Many layers to this (No pun intended.)

Good on you for giving it back to good will. It’s so beautiful I’d have been too tempted to keep it

The different woods in the initial glue up then getting cut and rearranged reminded me of Damascus when blacksmithing. Definitely a cool patter and pretty trippy.

This is very cool. You should put a maker challenge out there for other makers to find a piece from a thrift store find and upscale it. Please tell me about the vintage tool behind you that looks like an old delta or Rockwell small jointer.

Ha ha! Awesome work! I would've tapered the legs also but the black with inlay looks great. Way to bring that piece into the new millennium.

Ah, the classic Holiday Inn / Motel Six collection of fine hotel furniture.

love how the top came out. (the stripes on legs still read 80s to me tho). what a wild thing to watch you work on this and especially that 'veneer' on top. loved it with the edging. totally wiped away that old look. would really like to see you do one that the WHOLE top is a funky pattern. bigger table. like just now pictured a coffee table with that or another crazy design. (also realizing just now that this is probably how chess boards are made lol)

Nice transformation. Remember so many of those tables from my childhood.

I too have nailed a project to my work bench, we had those same tables when I was a kid.

WOW! What a transformation! Very nice work!

I loved the scene at the end where you are sanding with crazy eyes 😂

Great tips love the finished results, ooohhh by the way Elvis bust is a great touch

10:50 I laughed out loud, it's so you!

That old table looks pretty

This is you at your best and most edutainmental. Well done. Thanks!

Super cool pattern on the top, the table came out great! Also the sand in the place where you live suspense on this video was off the charts 😂

Great job! Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

I hope the design is thin enough so that it won’t be effected by expansion and contraction. Nice job! It gave me some ideas for some old similar tables I have in storage 👍

Good job giving it back, hopefully they got good money for it after.

Really enjoy the goodwill videos!!

OMG...You had me cracking up @14:15. I almost choked on my chicken wing. I'm still laughing...You're STILL staring at me...

Thanx for the FUN 😜 new here just found the Chanel ✌🌞👍

Amazing wood shop, I want to do things like this…I don’t have the tools,etc so I’m sticking to a few other things like replacing legs, I like putting some legs on smaller bookshelves, add legs to a smaller cupboard and painting chairs, etc.

very inventive use of an old table.. Epic cool.

This is the first video of your that i have watched. When you got that table at Goodwill I thought that was a crap thing to do. Always watch to the end. Someone is going to be really happy having a nice piece of furniture.

The pattern looks super cool. By the way isn't faster to build it from scratch rather than salvaging an old table?

"And that's how you get rid of the eighties. So now, I'm just going to die" ...dramatic pause... "these legs black".

The lighter strip down the legs to me kept the 80s look to some degree. Not crazy about it, I would have rather had it the same color or some other color may have worked as well but that color is screaming 1980

The Oaks are just too greedy, they grab up all the light. Nice rescue project David, that top is amazeballs!

That top pattern is niiiiiiiice.

Bought a similar table at the thrift store a little while ago. 3x3 oak legs, framed glass top. I just cut it into pieces for other projects. Perhaps I'll think differently next time.

I just saw you use it. It is a planer, but would still like to have some info on it. I love old tools
