It didn't come out perfectly, but it's really sturdy and usable, and I like it a lot. Made it with a bunch of 2x4s, and two or three 2x10s (I made an apron on one side with them, the legs on that side are also made out of 2x10s, and my leg vise also used 2x10s). Really worth it!

While personal safety is key to anything, I have to ask, if not now, when? I take it you mean you don't trust yourself to take off only so much material. If you don't want to practice on a project, then set up some practice tests to gain the confidence you need. I just look at it as breaking eggs. Personally Ilook at practicing as a waste of good material. If you go into a project understanding there may be mistakes along the way, as Rex Krueger implies in his videos, then every project becomes practice, but hopefully less material wasted. And, you gain the confidence to handle the tools. My $.02

You could also mark the taper lines on both tapper sides, saw at say 1" intervals to above the finish lines (again all sawing on both sides). Then chisel out the sawn waste "blocks" & finish with the hand plane.

@stephenholland6328 3 жыл бұрын

Classic lines work nicely. Good for you to use old timey finishes. One of the benefits of linseed oil and shellac is no dust debris to mess up the finishes. The finishes are so thin that the dust doesn’t get trapped in the finish. Lovely result and less work. The commercial guys go for sprayed lacquer. The thing that drives that decision is the cost of time waiting for finished pieces to dry. In an amateur shop there is plenty of time for these finishes to cure. (2-3 days instead of the commercial shops that need it it be done in 4-8 hours).

I made 3 tables that look almost exactly like that in dimensions. The legs are 4cm square by 75cm long. I used a 40 by 60 by 3 top and used various shaping strategies to try out with tapered legs of various kinds. The wood I used is called merbau and very beautiful when polished up to 800 grit or higher and then sealed with diluted traditional varnish. On two of the tables I used teak aprons. I sketched it myself based on a hall table I once saw (twice the width and higher). I can't believe you came up with something so close to what I sketched because I scaled the tables to be useful for end tables but also for samples I could tote around as needed. If I were to make this table with lumber available in the USA it would definitely be made of walnut with a book matched top. I hope to make a similar table with book matched teak top.

You're right about those mortice joints, I even do similar with metal, I then drill a hole on the inside of the frame to weld the joint inside, this way is super strong and every edge is 90 degree sharp without a "joint weld bump" its similar to pegged hole but only you don't drill all the way through. The weld is also not on the corner or edge so I believe its stronger for a hidden welded joint

Table Buttons (or Twist Tabs, as we call them) are great but I have taken to using 'through dowels'; home made or shop bought lengths of dowel that I install at opposing angles (to give a pincer effect, so locking everything in place). It is an adaptation of how I was taught to nail things together securely by my mentor, years ago...way back when the world was still flat! The slightly angled dowels give an ever-so-slightly oval shape when planed flat with the surface (and often a very pleasing visual contrast in colour or texture). Think of your own round mortice and tenon joints, as used in many of your own projects in the Woodworking For Humans series to date; it's almost identical to that. It unashamedly shows that no metal hardware has been used in the construction: pure joinery...! Anyway, you're finished project really does look very nice, I like the flaming and shimmer of the top and the contrasting woods. As for the lack of ornament, I love that approach; let the timber do the talking!

So much good information, so well curated and presented. I can do all this!

I have Stickley library table, that uses hour carriage bolts, and square nuts to hold two boards next to the legs. Then they drilled up through the board to hold the table top down. It might not be appropreate looking for small table like yours, but copied the library table for family and friends, The bolts, and board works great, and it looks orgional. I'm sure you've seen the method before.

The best solution for table top mounting? Well what I do is attach it with hinges on one side and plywood the bottom of the apron, recessing it so the end grain of the plywood doesn't show. You'll love it for the extra "hidden" storage and a cabnet door latch will stop it from rattling. I also do this with wooden kitchen chairs too. If you try it once you'll be sold on the idea Edit: I use 3/16 or 1/4 Baltic birch or a veneer ply that matches the wood in the table. They sell(at my lumber store) walnut, cherry, oak, and even cedar(and many more) veneered 14 inch plywood so you can match your project. If youre spending almost 200 on walnut(for example) it doesn't seem so expemsive to spend ~35 extra on a sheet and some hinges to add a really nice detail to a lovely piece of hand crafted furniture. Just dado the inside of the apron and the legs 3/16 deep and assemble around the plywood. If its a tight dado then it wont need glue.

The first time I made a table I wasnt so lucky to have the skilled guidance of mr Krueger. I didn't know about the "horn" trick, and it did not end well. I learned that one the hard way. I would actually recommend cutting of the horns after glue up is done, not before. If your joints are a bit tight the risk of the legs splitting is less prominent if the glue have dried.

Nice. Sometimes you can salvage table bases from destruction as often the bases are timber and the tops are ruined MDF or composite wood materials which don't last when exposed to water, weathering and heat. Extendable tables are light but have great versatility - start off with a 'small' table and grow it to your needs...

I've been learning to french polish and the most magical tool I've discovered is that they make synthetic steel wool - it's pretty much exactly a scotch-brite pad, but comes in everything from 0 to 0000. Stuff is MAGIC for getting that glassy smooth surface on shellac before a final wipedown with a fad. It'd be fun to see a video on french polishing. A lot of people are intimidated by it, but I've found it's an incredibly easy, not very time consuming, and very relaxing process to get a frankly obscene finish that you can only get with polyurethane if you've got access to a lot of sandpaper and buffing compound.

I made a couple of tables almost identical to these about 30 years ago, one of the main differences being that mine have drawers. The other big difference was that I didn't know much about wood shrinkage back then, so I dowelled through the tops into the apron - the smoothed-down ends of the dowels made a nice feature. The tables are still on either side of our bed, and the cracks where the splined-together tops were pulled apart still make me smile sadly every so often. We live & learn, if we live.

I'm excited for the table buttons. I improvised a similar table a few months ago, but I could figure out how to attach the top. This will solve that problem.

Hi Rex, If you ever get a chance, go to Enfield NH and visit the Enfield Shaker Village and Shaker Museum. It is a fantastic look into the Shaker way of life in the 1800s and early 1900s. An amazing group of people! You can even visit virtually and see the different furniture and other daily items. I think they even have dimensions on the furniture as well. Love your videos and every time I watch I say to myself "I wish that dude lived next door". 😁

Table buttons - that's what I was taught at school 1969 - 72 when many of us made tables like this. Still have the coffee table I made with chess pattern top

Hey Rex love the channel, when you do a home piece how about a couple still photos of it in the wild at the end so we can see the environmental and stylistic factors you take into account when choosing a finish. Keep it up.

I know this is a beginners site but I also liked the 6 board bench and this small table build maybe you could do a little of both

Before glueing up I varnish and wax all the parts. It's easier to remove any glue that is squeezed out of the joints if you do that.

Laughed out loud on your mistake mortising the show face of the aprons 🤣 I could imagine myself doing the same thing proudly chopping away and the realization hits you in the face.. ‘But wait I can... I’ll just.. maybe.. but, it’s.. ah crap!”

You shouldn't cut out the parts you work in. Watching you work the wood and assemble the table is one of the pleasures. Such a "snap" and it's ready is not enough. Of course, a thumbs up.
