Contemporary Trestle Table Part 1: Base Assembly

In this video, I build the base assembly for a contemporary trestle table. We cover bridle joints, and mortise and tenon joints, while using a multitude of power tools and hand tools. This was a perfect start in exploring the world of furniture making.

    Great videos - makes me want to get into woodworking. Do you have a rough guestimate of how much you have invested in your equipment?

    I really appreciate your precision and attention to detail in all that you do. I can see it's a personality trait that would help support the engineering route you've chosen :)

    Huy, another great video. You're a natural....I did see you as the Astronaut 🤐. That was pretty good. We had our first house hunt trip for my relocation and I told the Realtor what you suggested. We are looking forward to the move and meeting new friends. Keep it up buddy!!

    Excellent job. it appears that when you decided to get into woodworking you decided on a major all at once no messing around let's get this done major spend on all the tools you could possibly need. I like the long format videos - they take me all the way through my lunch. EDIT: THUMBS UP!

    Nice work. But I didn't see any video of you making the mortises; did I somehow miss them? Again, nice tight joinery.

    Great video and a great fit so far. Thanks for the explanation of the face joining. More than once I've faced one side, then after a break ,accidentally edge joined using the unjointed face. I like your method and it makes good sense. Enjoy your videos, your shop, and your technique and look forward to the next installment.

    Do you always do your joinery first and then shape?
