    One important points (I work with reclaimed wood alot) : Always brush it off / vacuum / do a light water wash first. It can be covered with lead and/or asbestos dust from old construction. (or worse stuff). I also always do an extra lead test just in case.
  • if you're going to use reclaimed wood more often get an hand held metal detector to find all the nails.
  • The intro of this video is basically my life😂😂 never felt so connected with another man before 😂
  • @billparrish4385
    I will never again be able to smear glue anywhere near a crack without a giving up a little chuckle. And I'm sure I'll get funny looks. And I'll have to explain it. And they won't get it because I won't be able to explain it right. And they'll think I'm weird. So thanks, Jason, thanks a lot! 🤣🤣🤣
  • My Grandfather is my inspiration in my shop… He built everything in the homestead house… including the house… When he passed I knew I had to keep his memory alive, so he is with me in my shop always. Happy Holidays to you guys! And Merry Day of Birth Wally!!!

    Love your show,I'm a disabled veteran on a fixed VA income, and I would like to become a patron, but I just wanted you to know that. Always look forward to your next show. Also, it taught me a lot. Thank you 😊
  • @jlr1487
    This confirms that its easier to build with brand new material, then making it look old, than working with old material. But deep down, it is so satisfying to give new life to old stuff.
  • Sure you did, but for those less experienced: make sure to seal any exposed MDF, especially where it might get damp, like at the bottom of the legs, as it soaks up water and swells like a beast.

    Opening skit was essentially the "you don't need to sell it to me, I already decided that was what I wanted" meme
  • @jerrycomo2736
    I log onto Youtube and "Save to Later" stuff I want to watch later, except your channel. I watch your channel immediately. Always funny.
  • Another great video. The finished product is beautiful. I must say, though, that the opening scene of the discussion between you and Mrs. Hibbs was deja vu for me - it is almost an exact replay of a recent discussion with my wife. I was laughing so hard I was in tears. Nicely played..
  • I've worked with reclaimed poplar (barn wood). I used a magnetic stud finder for the nails. I've also seen a handheld metal detector used. RIP bandsaw blade.
  • @jayhitek
    That looks great. Like a real old reclaimed table.
  • @sbffsbrarbrr
    Just like that?? Love the result but this has inspired me to go out and buy a table .🤣
  • @poolcrusher90
    Jason, thanks for making this video using reclaimed lumber. I think that there are quite a number of woodworkers who use reclaimed as their primary wood source. I agree that reclaimed lumber has some challenges, but as you have shown , they can be overcome. I also think that a lot of woodworkers start with inexpensive wood to build skill and confidence before spending 600 bucks on hardwood and making happy accidents. Musings of a local Albany guy.

    MDF core with veneer on top. It's just like IKEA! 😁
