    I made a dining table out of red oak board from my local home center that can extend using sliding dovetails, kind of.
    It's more like using the concept of dovetail slides but I am building the dovetail pieces separately and is then installed onto the apron rather than the apron and dovetail slides are made from one solid piece.
    In terms of material cost, I used around $300 dollars worth of red oak from my local Home Depot.

    I can only imagine the planning you had to go through first to do this.

    The build is impressive.
    I felt the video had the right amount of detail to be of value. Pointing out what you would do different greatly improved the value of the video.

    Nice video, but dude, can I buy you some push sticks? Some of that table saw work made me really nervous lol.

      Yeah, I know what you mean, lol.
      A buddy of mine recently hooked me up with a Microjig Grr-ripper, so I use the table saw a lot safer now! Lol.
      Glad you like the video!

    Love the work. But dont wear gloves on table saw if you get glove caught it will rip your hand in.

    You're either going to lose fingers or you will lose a hand, or you'll trip and fall to the blade or... sooner or later.
    People, don't do what he's doing. There are better ways to work without being in danger :(

      Appreciate the advice/warning. This was early into my woodworking journey and I didn't have a viable way to cut with my table saw (no proper stand and too high on my work table). I did eventually get a better table saw with a stand and I perform safer cuts now. 👍🏼
