Trestle Table Build using Tapered Sliding Dovetail Joinery

Рет қаралды 41,166

Күн бұрын

This table started off as rough sawn cherry boards and through machinery and hand tools, I made this dining table fitted together with accurate joinery and no mechanical fasteners. This table is inspired by the excellent work of Mr. Ishitani ‪@ISHITANIFURNITURE‬. I added my own design and construction modifications. The tapered sliding dovetail key used to secure the stretcher is worth watching in my opinion as I have not seen this type of joinery anywhere except a piece made by George Nakashima in a dining table he built in 1962.
Chapters:
0:00 - dimensioning the lumber
0:49 - cutting the through mortise
1:21 - the bridle joint
2:23 - creating a spring joint, table top glue-up and flattening
4:31 - cutting the tapered sliding dovetail
5:51 - shaping the parts
6:41 - creating pegs and making a tapered reamer for the hole
8:18 - gluing the batten to the table
8:58 - *cutting the tapered sliding dovetail key joint*
11:26 - glue-up, flushing up surfaces and finishing
12:45 - final table

Thank you kindly Peter for thinking that! Really the secret to any joint is “sneaking up” on the fit by first overshooting and making the joint too tight. You can then measure the difference between what you have and what the opening is with calipers and thereby bumping the fence over that corresponding amount (or half if you’re shaving off both sides). William Ng does a great job explaining this same idea in his box joint videos. Thank you Peter for checking out the video and leaving a comment!

@CarlYota 11 ай бұрын

@@briantheprionyeah you’re right. I don’t know where they are getting 384. Even if you counted the edges and ends of each board that’s still only 12 possible states of each board which would be 288 permutations. Obviously that doesn’t make sense in a tabletop. If they were considering each state of each board as a separate object we get over 384 really quick so, yeah, I don’t know how they got that number.

I’ve watched this table build probably ten times. Every time I watch it I notice another thing that blows my mind. The intricacies and detail to craftsmanship is unparalleled. Bravo man, amazing work. Do you need an apprentice? lol. I’m only kinda joking. Also a maker whose channel is called Tokoly, uses that tapered wedge pin thing for the stretcher. I think he pulled it off quite well.

Thank you so much for watching it in detail and leaving a comment! I strive to be as accurate as possible because I think it’s cumulative: your project in the end won’t be perfect but it’ll come out really nice if you take your time and think it through. Where do you live and what kind of things do you make?

Really nice table Brian. Also I love in ingenuity and the use of many planes. I’d also like to comment on the videos quality of production. Lastly, Ishitani is great, I’ve learn a lot watching his videos too.

@briantheprion Ай бұрын

I’m not above using a random orbital sander but sometimes a plane just makes for really accurate adjustments to parts fitting and it’s fun to use too! Thanks for dropping me a line! Do you make furniture too? What kinds of things have you made?

@@briantheprion I do actually, I started when I was nine years old. I make tables, desks and some smaller stuff for my corporate clients. Lately I’ve been making a few things out of slab wood but those are more experimental. Recently I’ve upgraded a bunch of my machines, I now have a Laguna CNC, Hammer C-4 sliding tablesaw/Joiner/planer/shaper and a big Laguna laser. I’m using the new machines to do the slab experimentation. BTW, I saw you on my daughters account, this is her father, Michael

Hi Michael. Wow you got some legit nice upgrades with the laguna cnc and the hammer combo machine! Thanks again for replying and letting me know the type of stuff you do!

“I’m a hobbyist woodworker” pulls out Hammer, Sawstop, Festool snd Lie Nielson tools 😂😂😂. Fancy tools still don’t produce results on their own. Your work is incredible, you are clearly an expert furniture maker. Nice work!

@briantheprion Жыл бұрын

Hi Howard! You make an excellent point. I definitely dont want to come across as fake humble and then whip out the arsenal of tools lol. I guess I just view myself as a hobbyist since I do it in my spare time and don't have any sort of deadline. What kind of stuff do you build? Thank you for watching and your kind and funny comment :)

My God….!! This platform showcases the genius in people. You sir….are a artist and create beautiful items. I did not fully understand how to create the seamless joint used on the table top, and I suspect you could create a whole video on just that step. Curious how long that table to you to create..??

@briantheprion Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much Patrick! Yeah im surprised there aren't more videos online about creating a spring joint. I suspect that most furniture makers have to make a living and these extra steps add extra time and most people probably don't scrutinize the glue seam anyways and so most people just glue the boards together right off the jointer. Oh and I think between my regular job and coming home and working on it a bit here and there...Maybe like 8 months :( Embarassing I know.

@patrickgreen9747 Жыл бұрын

@@briantheprion not at all….I think 8 months is awesome. I am (recently) retired and started making metal and wood furniture about 9-10 yrs ago. I’m always trying to improve my wood working and love the hand tools vs power. I’m always looking to up my game and push myself out of my comfort zone. FYI: I share your opinion on the plastic epoxy tables.

Thank you so much for your sub and your comments! Its a tricky setup to make the mortise and tenon cut on that dovetail key but the reward is when you go to assemble the table and knowing its completely knockdown-able and super easy to assemble.
