Great job explaining everything thank you very much
Looking great! Nice build!!
Thank you!
Wow!!! Awesome video!! Huge help...
You explained it perfectly. The table looks beautiful…I’m using this same procedure on a white oak table with a Whiteside 1/2” upcut spiral bit.. on the breadboard groove I’ll use my table saw with a dado blade..plunge out the groove depth with router..
What kind of sealer did you use for the tabletop, I like the shine
So the full depth mortices on the breadboard are the width of the tenons? If that's the case, the mortice itself will prevent the tenon from moving rendering the whole elongated peg hole thing useless. The mortice has to allow the top move and should be wider than the tenon.
I was thinking the same thing, but looking at the quality of the finished product, it seems like he should know that. I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he, intentionally or not, skipped over that part in the voiceover.
Can you do a video on wood selection? Do you go to Lowe’s or a local lumber mill? What type of wood do you normally use? Thanks for your videos.
Hi Travis! We have all of our lumber delivered from a local lumber company. Most of the wood at Lowe’s is too wet for furniture making, which will end up cracking when it dries out
I'm confused. You drilled the holes in the tenons 1/16" in, as compared to the the holes through the breadboard, so the peg would draw the breadboard in tight. However you then drilled the holes through the breadboard while it had the tenon in it. This means the holes will go straight through the tenon so they will line up with the holes in the breadboard .Doesn't this mean the holes are no longer offset? How will this cause the pin to draw the breadboard in closer?
I was thinking exactly the same thing, I even rewound the video to make sure I hadn't missed something. Maybe I'm still missing something, but it seems to me that unless that's a magic drill bit I don't see how there's still a drawbore going on, plus since the dowel hole is going to be offset from that elongated slot he went to the trouble of making, they would also appear to potentially restrict the sideways movement that is the main point of the whole exercise of putting a breadboard end.
His method has a lot to be desired. Check out others and compare.
I don't have a plunge router, can I use my drill press?
I have seen a lot of people put just 1/2” dowels, no mortise and tenon cut outs, what’s you opinion on that?? They just glue the middle dowel
I’ve done it that way as well. I find this to be a much stronger method.
Yup, and a lot less work
I followed you video and the table breadboards were perfect, in Illinois. I brought the table to Florida and, after a week in the air conditioned house, the ends of the breadboards were about sticking out about 1/8 inch from the width of the table. I assume the table boards shrunk. Is there anything I could have done to prevent this? I let the boards sit for about 6 weeks before I started the project.
Hey! So that’s actually what breadboards are designed to do, allow the main table panel to expand and contract throughout the seasons! Because it’s winter time I’m sure the main panel shrunk and will most likely expand back as summer approaches and humidity rises.
@@nickscustomwoodworks, thanks for the reply! The table looks great and that was my only concern.
Is there a rule on how long the tenons should be? I’m wanting to put 6” wide breadboard ends on my table Will 2” long x 4” wide tenons be ok?
I saw on another video that tenons lenght should be at least half the breadboard width, 2/3 would be best.
Awesome table! How come you didn’t just use a biscuit jointer?
Biscuit joiners are great for alignment but provide almost no strength. They would be great for glueing up the main panel of the table but not for breadboards.
Makes sense. Thanks for the awesome content!!
Looking at this video in 2024 and the way you did the dowels is backwards from what most do. You took the "drawing concept" out when you drilled the dowel hole through the bread board. The 2 outter mortises should have had the ends squared with a chisel to allow side to side movement of the square shouldered tenon.
