SMART & EASY WAY for making Sliding Dovetails || Prevent table tops from warping

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Sliding Dovetails can be hard to make. This is the smart and easy way to make them in order to prevent table tops from warping.
You only need a router and a planer. The fitting with this method is super straight forward and the best thing: You can hide your sliding dovetails almost completly.

    Very clever, I have been leaning towards the metal brackets for a table top because traditional sliding dovetails intimidate me. But this has changed my mind.

    What a terrific idea! I've wanted to use sliding dovetails to strong-back wide boards before but always been put off by the necessity for an edge detail. This solves that problem. Thanks very much!

    Thats really clever. I have gotten similar end result by necessity because I have used planers that arent wide enough for the whole table top anyway. So I just made really precise dowel joints between the planks. I routed the dove tail channel before gluing the planks and voila'! I could now slide the dovetail bar into one half of the table and then slide the rest of the table into the dovetail. Not that difficult. Dovetail hidden from the sides/ends.

    Ah, a ton of work making complicated joinery that nobody can ever see. It’s basically a microcosm of woodworking itself. 😂 I might just do a regular sliding dovetail all the way through on my table just so people can at least see the fancy work that went into it.

    Very cool. I'll definitely be stealing this from you. I wonder if pegging the boards together with some sort of wedge would avoid the need for the glue? Or perhaps some stringers running the length of the table could run through the dovetails and lock it all together. I'll need to play around with it. Thanks for posting this. You just gained a subscriber 👍

    great technique. I need to do this to a table with an apron. how much does the dovetail need to extend from the table bottom? would 1-2 inches be enough ?

  • @mariano_353

    Gonna try this method. Thanks. I have some doubts about the wax actually preventing the dovetail from getting glued to the tabletop. Did you have any issue with wood movement?

    Looks amazing thanks for the video! So is the grain direction for the wood that attached to the table supposed to stretch in a particular orientation? I'm assuming you want the grain to expand perpendicular to the table so it doesn't cause wood cracking within the dovetail slot?
