Floating top cherry dining table with sliding dovetail battens and wedged tenon joinery.
This Dining table uses sliding dovetail battens to secure the top which "floats" about an inch above the base. The base is joined with wedged through tenons. African blackwood is used for the wedges.

I usually don't comment but there's something to be said about how beautiful his work is, the presentation in the video, and the ambiance it creates. So extremely underrated

Like watching someone from 150 years ago ply their expertise, calm working environment and dedicated skill. I look forward to every video he posts, just as a relaxation tool!
You are THE best woodworker on KZread, and I watch hundreds. Your attention to detail is extraordinary. Please keep posting videos and thanks for sharing.

And apparently self-taught by watching videos of woodworkers and lots of practice.Unreal!
Mr. C is back. Outstanding craftmanship as always. The grain on that wood was absolutely beautiful. Congratulations to Mrs. C for the cinematography as well. A key part on these videos. Cheers.
We have a 17th century farm table passed down to me from my Mum. It's still in daily use. I think that one of your lucky family members will be sitting at this table in 300+ years. Beautiful craftsmanship. Thank you. Good to see that the foreman also approves.
Though the beauty of that table is astonishing, my favorite part of the whole video is that not one power tool was used. I love that the old ways are being preserved. Please keep it up!
The way you were walking with that slab at the start of the vid, it looked like you were going to, or just finished, bludgeoning someone to death with it. Lol.
No words. There are no words for this. I've been doing some hand tool woodworking since right about the time this channel posted its first video. My projects... Work. They look decent, and function, but are basic and too rough to be anything more than amateur work. This guy has been showing me what master work looks like since Day 1. An absolute master.
It’s very rare that I make any comments but the quality of the work that you produce is brilliant and your videos should be used as a training guide for any young woodworkers just starting out thanks for all your efforts In producing these videos and for keeping hand tools the music that they make alive
Beautiful work as usual
The cat has performed a quality check. It turned out great. 😊👍👍👍
There are two moments of grace: when we see you doing the object and when we see the finished object. Never the feeling of work as there is respect for the wood and the tool. Thank you for these beautiful moments.
Another masterpiece of craftsmanship. Whether its a house, a fireplace, a cellar, or a table, ALL are so extremely well done. Thank you for showing us your work. Love this design.
I agree with all the comments about the great woodworking, but I also appreciate the wonderful videography. Great job!
Always so inspiring. In addition to the incredible craftsmanship, there is not a single piece of waste in the process. No sand paper, no tool that cannot be sharpened, no wasted blades, and what remains is a stunningly beautiful table, and wood shavings that can be used to heat. And cat. :)
I strive to have the amount of patience that you have.
This is wonderful filming and editing, and outstanding woodworking skills. Very beautiful to watch. Thank you, I enjoyed it very much. I just bought a cherry slab to make myself a desk, and while I will be mostly using power tools, it still inspires me to continue working on it just from seeing the incredible grain and subtlety of this cherry table.
The catspector was very pleased with the end result😃👌
the best hand tool tutorial on the internet.
Even the way you put glue on boards is mesmerizing
Thank you mr Chickadee for your valuable lesson in self discipline!!
Браво! Ручной труд - это превосходно.
In a world overwhelmingly consumed with bigger, better, faster… Milwaukee power tools and Diablo saw blades tend to steal the show. But, this is real. This is the real stuff. What makes you want to make a family, move to the hill country and learn to use your hands and enjoy life. Even if this process is slower, it’s real. Not this fast, unnatural thing. It’s real. Thanks you Mr. Chickadee.
När jag ser era filmer får jag i bland känslan av att ni gör det omöjliga. Tack för inspirationen och det lugna tempot.
This was the best Music video I've seen. And we get a beautiful, crafted table at the end also.
I'm new to this channel... My word! No power tools!!!! My arms are sore just from watching!!!
Sounds like some rock hard cherry…loved the sound of the saw during the first rip
I liked the part with the kitty! The kitty pedistal making video was cool too!
Superb craftsmanship. Liked the wedge clamping of the table top. Thanks for sharing. Weekend Stuff
Quartered cherry has so much visual interest to offer and it just doesn't get enough credit for it. I suppose people want light wood or dark wood, and not much in between, but it's a delight . I think most folks watch youtube these days for entertainment - to dream about what they could do rather than looking for things they will do. You've got the pieces of hand work together in a way that I hope some folks can appreciate - there is joy and physical stimulation in working that way. It's too bad there isn't a feel-o-meter. it doesn't by rule have to change what we make - working by hand, but it gives us time to see and discern that's important. And it leaves the work with more life. You know that I think the shavings from the try plane are just dandy - same with the smoother. Everything goes together naturally - the wood offers resistance to work, but it isn't a fight or exasperation and it doesn't have to be. no red face, no haunched over, no tools jamming...

You know I had a prof slab sawyer angrily proclaim that had to be sycamore wood, I guess many people dont know the lovely rays many woods can have if quartered. I work by hand for the enjoyment and practicality of it. I can make anything I need in this 12x15 workshop, without the noise, PPE and expense of power tools. Yes it takes me longer, and no I dont care. No one NEEDS to make their own furniture, and if you do, work the way you enjoy, is how I feel. I get great joy from these tools, and none from power tools, though I understand their utility to those pushed for time. I truly love the gift these planes give, that is, the ability to dimension and finish a piece in one process, regardless of the grain or knots, and never needing anything like sandpaper, scrapers and other BS. Just plane the wood, and its done, feels like polished marble and shines like a mirror. All this cherry came from one tree a neighbor gave us, it all had this nice curly wavyness to the grain, real lovely stuff to work with. Thanks for the comment sir.
You’ve got cat-approval! The highest form of it. It’s then that you definitely know you created something beautiful. What a joy it was again to see you craft again. The patience pays of!

I can't believe I only just now am discovering this channel. Excellent video!
Just aquired a bunch of old wooden planes, looking forward to getting them up to speed so I can get off the electric tools and do it all by hand. Great job on the table too. 👍
Your videos are always worth waiting for. The clamping jig for the table top is great. Simple and effective. The table is beautiful and the splayed out legs give it a lot of character. Best to you and your family!
I also usually don’t comment but you’re just such an inspiration. I would love to see a video where you go through your hand tools and explain what they do and what scenarios you would use them in. So much appreciated!
Hi I am amazed by the quality of your craftsmanship. Everything you touch turns as a piece of art.

Never fails to amaze me how a craftsman that’s good at using hand tools can get rough boards so flat and square. Beautiful table and love the cherry as it just gets better with age.
It's a pleasure to watch you at work.
Congratulations, very nice, old tehnia, and I'm a carpenter scluptor and I prefer this technique! I salute you 🇷🇴
@mrchickadee been a minute since I checked in but holy your video quality has jumped 10 fold. Your dop (director of photography) is really on it. So much beautiful work. Please don't change the audio format ever. I find it so relaxing.
This is the most satisfying thing I've seen in weeks, and you didn't even have to say anything. Beautiful work. I love the look of the black wood that accents the cherry. The sleek lines of the table are will accent any space it occupies. And most of all--kitty likes it.
sawing in that dovetail by hand was really impressive
That Sir is the finest hand tool made piece of furniture I've seen built. You are gifted.
Finally got to see him use a table saw!
Fantastic build, thanks for taking us along for the ride.
Just another "little" masterpiece. Thank you again for sharing your works.
That's a one hell of a table. He is the definition of a proper handyman
It is very nice to see that there are still some people who prefer to do woodwork the old hard-laboring and old school way. (Nothing wrong in using electrical tools. I do so at my place of work as well) it is just nice to hear a hand saw sound and all the sounds of manual tools...
Finest art of woodworking! Thank you 😊
Very cool floating design. And gorgeous piece.
Daamn. The title sounds like some fancy dish name in the good and expensive restaurant 😁 i like Your videos. No music just a sounds of the tools and surroundings.
Incredible! love seeing all those hand tools in action! This has inspired me restore a bunch of mine.
Mr. Chikadee, you are a very trully artisan . my respect for you and congrats !!!
Oo man I have so much respect for you, I will never have any talents like you, and probably half way I run out off patience and would through it it the chimney

Dear Sir, I started carpentry in 71 we used the stair router like the one you were using. The cutting edge is tempered to hard very difficult to sharpen . Heat the cutting edge just a bit to soften it ,, then sharpen the tool. They work so much better after that. Great work wonderful video
You are absolutely a true craftsman, I love all of your work, thankyou for sharing your work with all of us !
A beautiful table well made. A very nice cat, too. Thanks for the video!
feel blessed to be able to watch you work!

Nice that you are back! A great project in a video and then the cat at the end, that's balm for the soul. Thanks very much! I love it!
Cherry is incredibly underrated. That’s a beautiful table.
Your projects retain the perfect amount of rusticity that makes me feel at home. Well done.
So beautiful!
Such gorgeous work.
Beautiful artistry. Thank you
Exquisite in all aspects!
It was good to see that Charles was on the job for the final inspection. Utterly beautiful, interesting design.
Nice use of handmade wedge clamps. First time I've seen those used. Very excellent use of non-electric tools too. Well done!
