Chris, you didn't give any commentary at the end comparing the power tool v hand tool approach. What's up with that? How long did each method take, which did you prefer, challenges of each, and so on.
Great video nonetheless.
Good point thats a missed opportunity for sure. I guess I got lazy there at the end after hours upon hours of editing and narration haha. This has taken me days on and off. I can tell you in a nut shell that I much more preferred the hand tool side. I honestly dont think it took me a significant amount of time longer. cutting the tenons and tongue on the table top was a breeze and very enjoyable, but plow the groove and boring out the tenons was definitely hard work. For me it is always more rewarding and enjoyable when I complete a task with hand tools, but there are certain things that powertools are worth using. For instance router out the groove was substaintially easier than plowing it with the plow plane haha. Ill try to remember to do that commentary next time! Thanks Hazem!
My impression, from watching the video, was that both finished products worked out well ... so which approach one prefers would really be determined by the tools, skills, and how you want to spend your time working
....and the amount of noise the neighbours can stand :)
And the amount of dust you can cope with. Mine's an attic workshop so dust is a problem. Dust extraction would be expensive, difficult and take a lot of already limited space. So hand tools are the way I've gone.
Thanks for the comparison video. I prefer hand tools these days but always find men standing around with comments like, "don't you like electricity", or "you would be finished in 20 minutes with power tools". Gets old pretty fast, it's nice to see someone proficient in both and to be honest sometimes a blend of the two is the handiest.
I bought this for my friend for his birthday as we just moved into a new house and he finally has room for a workshop. The bench was very easy to set up czcams.com/users/postUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh They center support is a little difficult to snap in and out of place at first but at least then we know the bench is secure. It was a pleasant surprise when we saw it came with clamps. I apparently missed that in the description. My friend loves the versatility of the bench. Great starter bench for his workshop and easily transportable all over our property. I wish the bench was a little taller but the other features of the bench more than make up for that.
I'm a girl and a bit shy of power tools. But my past life in the Victorian times has led me to love furniture that was crafted this way, I like furniture that is sustainable and can be reused for centuries. Unlike the garbage today that gets thrown out in the trash. I searched this video because I found an antique draw leaf table missing its leaves, and it is built with breadboard ends. So.Now I am in search of some hand tools to try my hand at what you've done in this video, which is amazing and so much appreciated .
Hands down the best woodworker on CZcams!
I hardly own any hand tools because of the skill and coordination required. I fully get the appreciation folks have for them and respect those who take the time. It's a lot quieter, which can make a big difference of you have children trying to sleep and stuff. Hats off to a super strong breadboard. Love the thought and engineering that went into it.
You should get yourself some more hand tools. They are a blast to use!
I really enjoyed your narrated and step by step video. I get so tired of turning on a video and seeing it in high speed and no explanation of what and why they are doing something. Just a great video. Thanks so much. David
Hand tools are for the true craftsman, and not only requires good tooling, but lots of talent from years of experience. Power tools are for quicker build times, and the quality of the job is determined by the builders efforts and accuracy in setting up the machinery correctly. Once this is done, electricity takes over. (Thank you Benjamin Franklin.).
Thanks for a good video.
I absolutely LOVE the hand tool vs. power tool format!!! Please do more like this. Not only do you get to see how to do both, but you can mix/match techniques depending on what you have in your shop to work with. Love it!
I click like before watching every video because they are so well done.
I have always been a power tool junkie, but the older I get the more I appreciate hand tools and the old ways of doing things, and you gave me the drive to learn the old ways even more. You are a fine craftsman and I really enjoy your channel!
Thanks so much Tony. It is definitely a super rewarding experience for me when using hand tools and my own practiced skills to build something. It feels great when I am done.
Square Hole Mortising Drill Bits are what you were looking for
Di Wu - Norm Abrams approves of this comment.
That’s what I was thinking
He said “regular, affordable, power tools”…. I agree with the power mortiser and am saving for one myself, but even a decent quality one isn’t really regular and affordable IMO. What may work for some guys in a short term is a power mortise attachment for their pillar drill ~$200 for decent one with bits; just keep in mind that this is more of a solution for floor standing drills since table top pillar drills don’t have enough throw in the quill to have an effective mortiser. The table top pillar drill really hits its max effectiveness with a mortiser attachment in the 1/4” mortise range like in rail/stile cabinet and small furniture.
Just my 2¢
I came here trying to figure out what a bread board was. I stayed because of some awesome techniques and tips
Very well explained. Thank you. I am presently building a harvest table & will be doing breadboard ends.
Recently bought 5 Douglas fir doors from the early 1900’s that could have possibly ended up in the dumpster and repurposing the lumber.
Anyone who has worked with today’s lumber cannot appreciate the high value of old growth trees from 100 years ago.
You are a young man & already possess the fine qualities of a good woodworker and can only hone your skills even further.
Your common sense approach to the discipline of wood & tools is a great example to anyone watching this video that wants to get done
The proper way.
Victor from Canada. .......thanks for your time & consideration.
I know the video is a little older but I felt that I should comment. I think what you have done here really shows that whatever tools you have your disposal and you can afford are the right tools. Certain tools, power or handtools, are better for certain jobs. It was nice to see that you don’t have to necessarily be committed to one or the other and you can appreciate working with both. Great video.
Thanks Jeremy, thats definitely a point I want to make for people
I watched the whole video of you actually making that table. Sick, bro. Sick.
Enjoyed this immensely. Thanks

Thank you for your videos, you inspire me and I find them soooo relaxing. Thank you from Albania
Best breadboard end techniques.
Just found this channel and instantly hooked
In another life I worked for a high end furniture manufacturer. The place was 100 years old back then and I have never seen such a collection of craftsman in one place since. I was there for 3 years and got the wood working bug. The company went broke. Fast forward 40 years and three other careers, I'm semiretired and for the last 18 months I have been collecting tools and building a small work shop. I put the word out that I was taking orders and my daughter said she wants a large table for the 6 of them. My plan is to make a 1/2 scale table as practice first. I have your plans and I'll keep you posted.
Such a small detail can make such a great effect. Good choice on chamfering the edges of the breadboard and table.
Great plans! Building this table is Ash. Godspeed
Awesome love watching u work,i see im not the only woodworker who lives in a subdivision with an HOA
Some really great little tips here, have learned loads. You can tell from the way you handle your timbers that you are totally at one with the art of joinery/woodworking and cabinet making. Great video techniques and angles too. Once again thanks
I watch this video about every three months. Based on my CZcams search history it keeps popping up as a suggested video. A pure joy to watch. The hand tool side is my favorite and a big reason I’m converting over to using more hand tools in my shop over the power tools. Good call quitting your day job!! 👍🏻
Thank you Chris! this video gave me the enough confidence to make my first BB end. I Will send ypu pics once finished.
One of the few videos that I have watched multiple times and enjoy. Thanks Chris
Masterfully done! A Craftsman knows how to wisely use both hand and power tools... GREAT example!
Hey Chris, just revisiting this video on the breadboards and getting all the ideas in my head to do the same on a project in the near future. I will be taking the all hand tool approach myself as I have limited space in my rented one car garage. I want to thank you for all your videos and great content that you put out. As mentioned before, I am building many of my hand tools as well. I am looking into the bowl blank suggestion from before. As always awesome content.
You're an excellent carpenter with more patience than I have. Keep at it. Look forward to more.
Having gone to the other woodworking sites I really appreciate your editing and composition of these vids. Excellent work there and even better on the wood
I like the chamfered edges also. Gorgeous build!
Chris you are a real craftsman and a natural teacher. Great work sir.
Great vid, awesome build, entertaining to watch, and I really appreciated your ability to clearly explain WHY you did what you did while you were doing it... that is SUPER helpful to newbies.
Great inspiration! I just started doing woodwork at home and your videos has been really helpful!
Great instructional video for both techniques - clearly presented, with some good tips on how to proceed correctly. Thanks. Might try this in a future project!
Great demo of making bread board ends with a variety of tools.
Thanks Bill much appreciated
Thank you so much for the thoughtful explanation of both. I was hesitant to try breadboard ends, but now feel confident I can do it. My table top is only 7/8" I think it should work with the proper calculations. Thanks again!
Excited to see you using that little slick. I work at a small timber framing company, and we all carry 2” wide chisels and use them for anything we can. They can be monsters or persuasion tools
Nice trick with the straight edge and the saw. Also a good reason to have one with a high angle handle/deep blade.
Nice video.
I love the contrast between the noisy screaming power tools vs the sweet symphony of hand tools
Yes, its the exact reason I alway grab the hand tools if I can help it.
Chris, This is wonderful. You expertly explain the breadboarding purposes, techniques and process. Thanks.
Thank you, the whole narration part has been a struggle for me, Im glad to hear I am on track haha.
You do beautiful work. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic job and great explanation of the project.
Great work! This has become one of my favorite channels over the past couple weeks. IMHO you sir are underexposed in the youtube woodworking world. I'll be sharing links in the future. Thanks you for your great work.
Wow Richard, thank you so much. That means a lot to me. I am glad you like the videos, and hopefully as time goes on and I put more stuff out there I will continue to grow. Comments like this really keeps me motivated so thank you!
Excellent video and I appreciate you covering it with multiple approaches!! Great job and your table top with breadboard is awesome!!!
Thank you for our GREAT WORK.
Love your work!! I'm building my first BBE table, great help...
That was a fantastic, clarifying and enjoyable watch. Thank you. Subscribed
Incredible work call mom came out looking fantastic! Super helpful seeing both methods as well, thanks for posting!
I am a new subscriber and wanted to say I enjoy watching, you showing both hand tools and power tools is vary helpful seeing how I am just starting to get involved with woodworking and don't have a lot of either just a littel of both.
Great job explaining everything thank you very much
Will be building my first table soon thanks for the great video
Beautiful work.
Great video. In the end, a combination of both approaches seems to be the ticket! I learned a ton from this video. Thx!
I really enjoyed this video, after seeing all your updates on instagram. I'm still learning the ins and outs of building tables (properly) and I think your methods are great, I learned quite a bit.
Hi Chris - Great video and fantastic workmanship. Its great to see someone using hand tools with such skill. I think you demonstrated that they are not really much slower than power tools but with so much more satisfaction. Love the draw bored dowels - I have just completed a new workbench with a laminated Bubinga top on a Mahogany base. I used draw bored oak dowels for the complete assembly and it is so solid. Keep up the great work - Dave
Great video man. Thanks for your hard work!
I am in the process of making a table and I've looked at a million different breadboard options. One thing I'm considering is whether to leave the breadboard enclosed at least 3/4" or so on the ends, to prevent the board itself from warping away from the table end. The downside of course is that no one gets to see the edge joinery, and that it takes a little more work.
Being an older, non trained, retired lineman who has patiently builds things, i loved how you built that one end with hand tools. i wish i could have had a dual trade because it would have been wood working. thanks
Great Video, Excellent Work.
Keep up the good work. Love your approach on tool selection and techniques. Showing the real-world realities that which ever you might 🐝 "Power" or "Hand"
It is best to own a bit of Both. Having the Knowledge, Skills and Passion to do so will only make you a Better Woodworker.
Loved the video. Thanks for sharing it.
Great video and skills! Thanks for sharing
Thanks Stavros, much appreciated friend!
I really enjoyed your video very much Chris. Thank you for sharing and the comparison as well
Great video, loved seing both methods, gives me options in the future.
Great vid and loads of handy tips especially in the hand tools section. Keep up the good work!
I don't know what I like more, the way the table turned out or that B-E-A-UTIFUL GMC out front.....great videos bud...very helpful!
haha. yea I sure do like that truck. Unfortunately its in the body shop right now because some druck driver smashed it while it was parked on the street
Third Coast Craftsman Dang dude, sorry to hear that. Y'all catch the moron?
Great demo. Thanks.
Absolutely beautiful work!!!! Thanks a lot for the info. Fixing to give it a try
Chris, Great video! Such great information, you truly inspire me to build.
I enjoy watching stuff like that, give ppl new idea, that others don't know about!
A few years ago, I fumbled my way through the power tools version of breadboard ends. After watching you do it, I’m glad to see I didn’t do it completely wrong. But, it would have been nice to have you there to point out how I could have done better! Amazing job!
Skills! Great video, thanks for the explanation
Beautiful!
Impressive woodworking skills my friend.
Thanks bud. I definitely appreciate that coming from a fine woodworker as yourself!
He is a very good quality craftsman . Well explained videos. or tutorials.
Really well done Chris ... interesting idea and it made for a great video. Cheers to you and Utz!
Nice work. I once fixed breadboard ends before I learned of the movement that happens. So far the project is still intact. I flooded it with mineral oil, it seems to have a more stable moisture content. It is an island top cutting board basically.
This was mesmerizing and inspiring, thank you
Thanks Linda. Inspiration is one of my goals in these videos!
Very well done. Absolutely gorgeous.
Thanks Kory!
thank you
Thank you for your videos!
We are not worthy!! Lol. Great job man. Your a great teacher!
Chris, first time viewer here. I really enjoyed watching. Really liked your commentary and dialogue. Great work with the hand tools! Always impressed to watch people work with hand tools. Breadboards turned out great both ways. Definitely learned a few things. Thanks for sharing! Subscribed!
You're highly underrated. Your work is amazing.
Really good work, I like your quality of the video. Thanks
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Beautiful
Amazing. I'm just getting in to woodworking and your videos are a great inspiration and guidance.
Hoping to teach and insprire newer woodworkers is one of the main reasons I do these videos. I means a lot to me when someone like you can get some value out of them. Thank you for the comment!
Instead of using a chisel or spokeshave to whittle the ends of dowels, I keep a pencil sharpener in my tool box (for sharpening my pencils 🙂) and use it to trim the ends of the dowels. Works great!
good work, very handmade, which adds value to the piece.
Thanks Armando
Awesome video! Can’t wait for more!
Lovely work Chris!
I just watched two of your videos and learned a tremendous amount on how these tables are made. Subscribed!!! An excellent table and fantastic video. I'm sure I'll be referencing your videos often as I plan on making a similar table from 100 year old tobacco barn timber.
Hey Michael, I am glad you found the videos and learned some stuff. Thanks for subscribing and good luck on your table!
Dude, excellent video! This is one of the best woodworking videos I’ve ever watched on CZcams!
Well executed!
1. Love the chisel from the flea market
2. Love the backup board used while sawing.
3. Love the offset dowels to draw in the breadboard to the table top
This is a wonderful video and I thank you for sharing your hours of VERY hard work with us! ^5
Thanks so much for the awesome message and kind words. I really appreciate it and am glad you like the video
You sir, have ninja woodworking skills - beautiful work.
Chris, great video. This comment is late as the video was posted two years ago but to cut the mortises I use a forstner bit of the width I want and after the first plunge to depth, advance the board 1/8 in at a time the bit will cut just fine and when done the mortise only needs a chisel run over the surface in case of any stray fibers left. This worked fine for a 3/8 wide mortise. Needs to be done in a drill press set up with a 90 degree fence so the board is perpendicular to the wood and just needs to be moved along as needed. Also round over the ends of the tenon sides so I don't have to square the mortise ends. Thanx again
Amazing work!!
