Awesome job! What I love about this type of furniture is that it will never go out of style. "Modern" furniture will look dated inside of 10 years. Some sets today will look like motel furniture tomorrow. Your friend's kids will be fighting over this table someday.
Haha I'm sure others would be faster, I just enjoy the process so I'm not usually in a hurry. That also included two matching benches so just this table was more like about 90 hours
It makes a refreshing and satisfying change to see some genuine woodworking skills, using proper jointing methods instead of the quick fix (dreaded) pocket hole screws that so many youtubers seem to use nowadays. Keep up the good work. Those that know - know, those that don’t - drill and screw.
The issue is a lot of people don't have the tools to do a mortise and tenon joint, and one isn't needed in a lot of woodworking. You do realize that ALL professional cabinet makers use pocket holes, right?
Killer job! We’re moving into our new home in July and I’ll have about the same size workshop as you do. Would love to get a copy of the plans for this table if you’re putting them together.
If you do the traditional mortise and tenon joinery, get a shoulder plane. It really makes quick work of cleaning up your cuts after a less than perfect tenon cut. Sounds like fun! Also, tell your sister she needs to buy you some tools as payment!
@@EveningWoodworker lmao i may or may not have already told her that also any tips for flattening the top? I have a biscuiter to help with lining up the boards but any other tips?
Love this table! As I would like to build this for myself, I purchased your plans. However I am confused by some discrepancies, for example: for the Base Foot your plans say to glue 2 pieces of 2 inch lumber together, while in your video you glue together 3 boards. Am I missing something?
I did it with 3, because I was working with 6/4 lumber, but in the plans I think I recommended starting with 8/4. Either way, just glue up enough boards to get to the final dimension.
Nice work! Table looks amazing. I currently have someone asking me for a farmhouse table. My question is this, you said the trestle support tenons had to be cut at 45. Would it have been easier to cut the tenons at 90 like the rest or would that have reduced their effectiveness? Thanks for your time and keep up the great work.
The benefit to cutting the tenons at 45 is you have more wood fibers to distribute the load diagonally. It's also kind of the traditional way to do a mortise and tenon on 45 deg joints.
@@EveningWoodworker after I sent the message I thought about it more. It makes sense to cut it at 45 so it will lock in better. Thanks for the reply, I enjoyed watching your work. It gives me inspiration to try new techniques.
Awesome work, my friends are asking me to make them one so I've been looking around and your build is one they love so far! Just curious for the thickness of the stock overall is that 8/4 stock doubled up for the main Trestle body and then 6/4 for the table top?
Yes I went with 6/4 for the top to make it a bit lighter. The 8/4 on the base was just a good price point for the thick stuff... just takes a bit longer for gluing up and squaring!
Dude you are a master craftsman, and you have a new subscriber! I have a question, did you weather or distress the top at all, besides chiseling the edges?
Thanks man! I tried to give it a hand scraped/hewn look by doing a random combination of hand plane; belt sander; orbital sander all over the top. The stain also helps with making it look weathered. Rough areas retain more stain than the really smooth areas which gives more color variation
Thank you! I finished it with a general finishes java gel stain and then top coat of osmo polyx oil. So far it has held up well from what I've heard... although it's not in my house so I don't see it regularly!
I have never heard of wetting wood before gluing. The glue is stronger than the wood, so a failed glue joint won't happen unless you mash the hell out of it and leave no glue in there. I have personally tried to break apart a glue joint that was just two pieces set on top of each other with glue and the wood broke, making me have to sand off the wood pieces and glue.
Plans for this table and the matching benches are NOW AVAILABLE on my website: www.eveningwoodworker.com/buyplans
Best farm table I've seen so far.

Wow! 150 hours. I might have to rethink taking on a project like this. I'm 73, not sure I have a 150 hour left. LOL

Thanks! I enjoy doing the traditional joinery... it just takes a lot longer so I gotta be more patient.

Beautiful and massive. Your friend seemed very happy with it.
She was! Thanks
WOW YOUR D BEST I'M FROM THE PHILIPPINES ALWAYS WATCH YOUR PROJECTS NICE DURABLE ..

Saludos desde Coquimbo, Chile.
Gracias! Me duró mucho tiempo pero me salió bien
Looks incredible, awesome work! Inspiring to watch, cheers for posting!
Great job! It must give you a lot of satisfaction that your effort will be appreciated every day.
Yes! It's always satisfying when your work will be used regularly
is it possible to have a pattern of the Farm House Table sent out to me ThankYou.
Absolutely beautiful work brother
Thanks!
That is an incredible amount of work. Well done
Yes it was much more than I was expecting especially with all of the joinery. But hey when it's done you only remember the good parts!
That is just beautiful. Nice technique!
Thank you!
Excellent job and thanks for sharing.
No problem! Glad you liked it
That is one sturdy table! Amazing work! Our table build didn't go quite this smoothly haha
Thanks! There were definitely some things that didn't go as planned, but those somehow didn't make it into the final video!
The Evening Woodworker Haha, I think all projects have unplanned chaos. We had a fair bit and only kept some in our vids 😝
Killer job! We’re moving into our new home in July and I’ll have about the same size workshop as you do. Would love to get a copy of the plans for this table if you’re putting them together.
Thanks! Haven't started on them yet, but I'll let you know when I have them available.
congratulations, you have an incredible talent !
what kind of wood do you use?
This table was made out of cherry
Great job 👍🏼
Thanks!
Well done!
Thanks!
Wow man incredible job!! The video was great I’m about to make a 10ft farmhouse table for my sister any tips for a guy with limited tools?
If you do the traditional mortise and tenon joinery, get a shoulder plane. It really makes quick work of cleaning up your cuts after a less than perfect tenon cut. Sounds like fun! Also, tell your sister she needs to buy you some tools as payment!

You did an awesome job on that table! 👍🏻 What was the finish you used and is it holding up well? Thank you for sharing!

The Evening Woodworker Thanks!
Great video man. Im about to make one similar to yours. How long did you make your tenons for the base? Thanks!
I think they were 2" long on the bottom of the base and 1 1/2" on the top. Good luck!
Beautiful! Question, how much leg room did you leave for the two ends?
There is an 18" overhang at either end
@@EveningWoodworker thank you... beautiful table.
Great job. What was your total time on this project?
Thanks! This one took about 150 hours... Lots of chisel work!
Do you recommend wetting the piece of wood prior to gluing?
I don't usually wet the wood and I've never had trouble with the glue failing. Not sure it adds anything.

Hi, what it is the product that use for the termination of the table?
I'm not sure i understand what you mean? Lo puede decir en Español tambien si quiere
How much over hang did you leave one the ends and sides?
18" on either end and 6"on either side
what kind of wood is this? Is it oak?
It is cherry
What was the total cost of this build? I'm thinking about a smaller version 😉
Material cost ended up being around $1600. But I did make it out of solid cherry so it could be done with cheaper wood
@@EveningWoodworker I want to make it to last... I really like the "timeless" furniture... Hopefully it will get passed down for a few generations 🤷
Do you have a set of plans?
No not yet, but I will make some if there is enough interest
If people want a brown table, then why not use Walnut instead of ruining a beautiful wood?
It wasn't my first choice, but hey the customer is always right...
I thought the same thing!
@@EveningWoodworker Wouldn't Walnut be much more expensive?
