Tools and materials:
Air compressor, nail and staple gun kit
In this video I make a table out of a piece of an old wooden floor. The floor was made out of pine. I also used some spruce to make the legs.
This was actually a piece of floor that was removed so we could install an interior ladder.
I begun by taking the pieces apart using a leaver. I then had to glue a few pieces which I broke during the process.
Next I planned and cleaned the back cleats.
I re-glued the rabbeted pieces in sections. The last section was longer than any clamp I had so I glued some wooden blocks to clamp the pieces together.
Next I cut the table top to it’s final size with my circular saw and a guide rail.
I then glued and nailed two new cleats in place.
I added trim to hide the end grain. I glued and nailed it in place and then I used a block plane to make it flush.
Next I sanded the table top. I also rounded the edges with a block plane.
Next I made the legs and the horizontal cleat.
I then sanded everything and my table was ready.
I am really happy with the result. I hope the grain will do well enough with expansion and contraction. But that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
