DiResta's Cut: How to Build an Eleven-Foot Farmhouse Dining Table

By Rain Noe - July 6, 2016

in DiResta's Cut | DIY | Furniture Design

While Jimmy DiResta always makes his builds look easy, this is one that we might actually be able to do. This month Jimmy builds a massive, eleven-foot-plus farmhouse dining table, using a very limited amount of tools, reminding us that you don't need a fully-outfitted shop in order to build something as huge and sturdy as this.

Jimmy shows us how he handles one of the most important parts on a table of this size—the corner bracing, which needs to be both sturdy and in this case knock-down. And as always the video is sprinkled with helpful tips, including the easiest way in the world to make boards look weathered. (Hint: Get an assist from Mother Nature.)

Really nice table, I like the ideas he's developed to avoid the time it takes to make more traditional joinery. Make sense for jobs that don't have the budget for that kind of work.
