Extending Dining Table: My Best Ever Project

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

After making over 300 woodworking projects on this channel, this is the best yet...! This is a solid oak extending dining table that seats up to 8, but best of all, the extending leaves slide out and are self storing under the main central table top. This is my interpretation of a traditional "dutch pullout extending table" design, but I struggled to find much useful information about how they actually work - so I'm not sure how close it is to the original, and I also couldn't find any information about who originally designed it so am unable to give credit where it's due!

    Stick a hole in the top so you can put a raised part where you can put things like salt/pepper and anything else on, that should free up enough room for everyone's plates and drinks.

    I have a table like this. If you add some felt to the underside of the main table top it will stop the leaf sections getting scratched when they are put away. You can also add some wax to the sliding parts so they move smoothly.

    Amazing work Keith! As a dutchman, I can say that the table works in the exact same fashion as many tables that I'd use to own. I'd say it functions as a real dutch pull out table, but just looking quite a bit more modern.

    Fantastic build, Keith! We had a table like this (store bought from a Danish brand) and from memory the mechanism was almost exactly the same. One small addition I remember were two dowels attached to the main table top underneath and inserted through support rails running the length of the table. These were slightly longer than the thickness of those rails and had caps/heads at the bottom. This would act as a stop preventing the table top from lifting completely so it cannot be accidentally knocked out of place or flipped by a frustrated board game participant 😂

    I've made an extendable side table for my parents using the same mechanism. I did not know what it was called but I stole the idea off an old extendable table at my aunts'. Mind you, I am Dutch. So I find it quite funny it's apparently a dutch design. And I can tell you, this is exactly how my aunts' table works. I have no 3d skills whatsoever so it took me quite a bit of headscratching to get the angles and notches on the rails sorted. It's definitely not as straight forward as I thought when I looked at my aunts' table! Yours turned out great! nice job :D

    We had one like this in the family for over 40 years. (not as nice looking though) it was a bit rustic but solid. We passed it around in our family often as a first dining or kitchen table when someone bought their first house. With a little wax on the runners it was so smooth. It had finger grooves on the underside of the leaves to help pull them out. We passed it on to a neighbour a few years ago. Thanks for reminding me of it.

    Hi Kieth, A great project once again. Just a suggestion for you to consider, when cutting your sliding rail recesses when hogging out the excess material chisel out from each side cutting up hill so as the prevent the risk of blow out ( OK I am over the top !) and also maybe leave the extending leaves width long until finally fitted and then remove the excess with the track saw when fully fitted. Another suggestion stolen from antique tables, the tops were always fitted with screws that were in slots to accommodate expansion of the top and prevents the risk of cracking. Keep up the great work.
