Sellers Home Dining Table: Episode 10
Posted 30 March 2022
This is an episode in a paid series. Want to watch it? You just need to sign up as a paid member, and you can enjoy this video and many other videos we think you will love.
In this episode, we take you from the final joinery–and fitting the components into the whole piece–to gluing up, finishing with a water-borne finish and then delivery from garage to dining room in Sellers’ Home. There are so many small features and tips in this episode, and it’s altogether intriguing to watch the development for laying out the braces with half-housings and more. We hope that you enjoy this episode as much as we did.
We’ll, I consider that to be time VERY well spent, following this build. Thanks for this, Paul, as usual, I picked up a number of very useful things along the way. I’m looking forward to seeing and hearing how you approach the dining chairs.
Beautiful, I love the concept and design. Can’t wait to see the chairs and learn how to make them. Thank you so much for sharing and teaching Paul.
Gorgeous!
I am just curious . . . did Paul somehow combine several shorter clamps to make a long one??? I would love to get a closer look at that or an explanation if so!@
Yeah, seems like Paul connected two clamps with the wood insert and some kind of a bolt/screw.
It’s a brilliant idea!
I usually don’t bother and use three clamps to make up a long clamp 🙂
Yes, I agree, that would be great too!
I wonder what kind of screw/nut combination is that…
That sounds like a great video suggestion.
Beautiful table! It’s nice to see Joseph!
Bravo, Paul. Wonderful from start to finish.
Thanks Paul. Do you typically put any felt or leather pads on the bottom of your legs? Do you have any tips on how to do so? I’ve used felt pads with the self adhesive but I’d like to use something that might be a bit more traditional in terms of application if such a method exists.
I believe one option would be a leather patch glued on using hide glue.
I look forward to the episode in 20 or so years time when you revisit this table to give it a makeover.
Did Paul mentioned that water based varnish is easy to maintain/apply in a specific area?… For that to happen, doesn’t the varnish of the whole surface has to be removed and then reapplied?
Beautiful dining table design & excellent instruction by Paul. Plus, amazing production work by the WWMC team.
I don’t believe Paul mentioned whether the oak he used was air dried or kiln dried. Watching the first episode at the lumber warehouse, the wood appears to me to be air dried because of the staining from the stickers used during the typical air-drying process. Also, how the oak seemed to respond to Paul’s blades, how it “worked”. I really can’t be sure though unless I can feel how the blades interact with the wood myself. Just curious, air dried or kiln dried? I know it’s a late question.
Kiln dried lumber, if done right, is still air dried before the kiln, some done outdoors some indoors. Staining does not mean it wasn’t kiln dried
There are characteristic stains on air dried wood, esp. as a result of the stickering. I didn’t ever say “stains result from kiln drying”, that makes no sense & I don’t know from where that came. Kiln dried lumber spends much, much less time exposed to the air around it compared to fully air dried. I’m not here to get into a semantic discussion about terms. I think my question was clear.
Mr. Paul Sellers and the rest of the production team
A very striking and handsome project. The construction of the piece was very good. You can add your own personal touches as you make your own table. Outstanding and well done to everyone involved.
Take care and may God Bless.
