Sliding Dovetails can be hard to make. This is the smart and easy way to make them in order to prevent table tops from warping.
You only need a router and a planer. The fitting with this method is super straight forward and the best thing: You can hide your sliding dovetails almost completly.

Never seen it done like that before. Thats what i love about our craft so many ways to get a job done.

Very clever, I have been leaning towards the metal brackets for a table top because traditional sliding dovetails intimidate me. But this has changed my mind.

I have never before seen this method, and it's perfect! It will save me a ton of time worrying about breadboard ends that I no longer have to create! THANK YOU!!!

I have to admit, I really was septic about this. But turns out great! Beautiful work. Thank you.

Well, I was skeptic, too when I first saw it. Glad I could convince you, too 😉 Let me know what you think when you try it out 😉👍

Thanks mate 😀 Can't wait for that project to be finished, too. Over a year in the making already and another year of designing it. For sure my longest-taking project so far...

What a terrific idea! I've wanted to use sliding dovetails to strong-back wide boards before but always been put off by the necessity for an edge detail. This solves that problem. Thanks very much!

That's awesome David. Sounds like the same problem/concern as I had with this table 👍 Happy woodworking ✌️

Thats really clever. I have gotten similar end result by necessity because I have used planers that arent wide enough for the whole table top anyway. So I just made really precise dowel joints between the planks. I routed the dove tail channel before gluing the planks and voila'! I could now slide the dovetail bar into one half of the table and then slide the rest of the table into the dovetail. Not that difficult. Dovetail hidden from the sides/ends.

Ah, a ton of work making complicated joinery that nobody can ever see. It’s basically a microcosm of woodworking itself. 😂 I might just do a regular sliding dovetail all the way through on my table just so people can at least see the fancy work that went into it.

great technique. I need to do this to a table with an apron. how much does the dovetail need to extend from the table bottom? would 1-2 inches be enough ?

Looks amazing thanks for the video! So is the grain direction for the wood that attached to the table supposed to stretch in a particular orientation? I'm assuming you want the grain to expand perpendicular to the table so it doesn't cause wood cracking within the dovetail slot?

@superpuppy7854 Жыл бұрын

Very cool. I'll definitely be stealing this from you. I wonder if pegging the boards together with some sort of wedge would avoid the need for the glue? Or perhaps some stringers running the length of the table could run through the dovetails and lock it all together. I'll need to play around with it. Thanks for posting this.
