Building a Walnut Drawbore Mortised Dining Table

Рет қаралды 398,533

4 жыл бұрын

I used a 17th century joinery technique, the drawbore mortise and tenon, to build this shaker inspired dining table. A drawbore mortise and tenon can be assembled without clamps, as the hammering in of the dowel self-tightens the joint.
I designed this table myself, with gentle curves on the apron rails and circular arcs on the table top. I built this table out of solid walnut, using only a small amount of oak for the dowels, and maple for the clips connecting the table top to the apron rails. The clips are necessary to allow the table top to expand and contract slightly with seasonal humidity variations. The table legs are gently tapered, to give the table a light, delicate feel.

The trick with slightly offsetting the dowel to make it pull the piece in for a snug fit was genius, glad I watched this today

Awesome!! That's called a drawbore mortise and tenon joint, it's an ancient technique that works amazing and is way under-utilized nowadays (in my opinion).

This was perfect as a vanity desk for me. kzfaq.infoUgkxMAlHv7-BBWMrPRm5-uEoD6rtdT7SG2Qr Especially the glossy finish. Easy to cleanI was looking for something that wasn't the traditional white and with more of a modern feel. This fit the bill beautifully. I put it together with no problems, by myself in under an hour.Make sure you double check where you place the drawer tracks before screwing down. I had one track that needed to be aligned with different holes than the rest.

@sixdsix5028 2 жыл бұрын

06:57 For all the newer woodworkers out there, the reason for the slight offset of the dowel holes in the apron is so that when the dowels are driven into the legs it will pull the apron tight against the leg, ensuring a nice tight fit. You only need a slight offset to accomplish this. Also, remember to drill out your mortices marginally longer than your tenons so as to allow for this dowel offset.

To those who have never built table. There’s a odd relationship that happens between the craftsman and the table. We spend hours looking at the table upside down or elevated on our bench. The lights from the shop casting their unfavorable shadows. This creates a image in my mind.( I’ll speak for myself now) that doesn’t match what the reality of where the table will sit. In the home the lights are way more forgiving. With the table sitting at waist level all we really see is the top. My final message from me to you if you have never built a table and want to. Pick your best boards for the top. A great table has a good looking top.🙂 Nice work Dk . Good Luck always

Nice Tom, that sounds like a great project! Yes if you are primarily a hand tool woodworker, the two power tools I would most recommend are a jointer and a planer. To me, those two tasks are a huge pain in the ass and are very difficult to do precisely with hand tools. Adding just those would speed up your milling process HUGELY and would allow you to spend more time on the "fun" stuff (in my opinion) like joinery.

Beautiful table mate! Wipe-on poly really brings out the color in walnut! Just something to note: by attaching the top with clips on all four sides, you've restricted the top from expanding across the grain. Depending on the seasons where you live, this might not be a problem. But as someone who lives in a place with huge humidity changes, that top would either buckle or break those clips in a single summer.

@dkbuilds 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment, Samuel! I'm aware of the expansion issue, which is why I made the clips to not bottom out in the mortises in the rails, they have some room to slide in and out (across the grain) to allow for this. Thanks for watching!

Beautiful table I loved the joinery with the legs and stretchers. But anticlimactic when I saw the screws being installed to join the top. I would have loved to see you show off using joining the top and legs with no screws. ( I am trying to build a side table 100% wood, light glue looking for instruction hehe)

@dkbuilds 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment JR! Actually attaching with screws is a pretty commonly accepted method, even from historical times. The point is that the top cannot be glued directly onto the rails because the top needs room to expand and contract. Here, the clips (which I screws onto the underside of the table top) fit somewhat loosely in mortises which allows the top to expand and contract a bit. If you are building something similar, you can glue the clips onto the underside of the top rather than using screws, so long as the clips still have room to move a little bit in the mortises. Thank you for watching!
