Trestle Table Build using Tapered Sliding Dovetail Joinery
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
This table started off as rough sawn cherry boards and through machinery and hand tools, I made this dining table fitted together with accurate joinery and no mechanical fasteners. This table is inspired by the excellent work of Mr. Ishitani @ISHITANIFURNITURE. I added my own design and construction modifications. The tapered sliding dovetail key used to secure the stretcher is worth watching in my opinion as I have not seen this type of joinery anywhere except a piece made by George Nakashima in a dining table he built in 1962.
Chapters:
0:00 - dimensioning the lumber
0:49 - cutting the through mortise
1:21 - the bridle joint
2:23 - creating a spring joint, table top glue-up and flattening
4:31 - cutting the tapered sliding dovetail
5:51 - shaping the parts
6:41 - creating pegs and making a tapered reamer for the hole
8:18 - gluing the batten to the table
8:58 - *cutting the tapered sliding dovetail key joint*
11:26 - glue-up, flushing up surfaces and finishing
12:45 - final table

Thank you kindly Peter for thinking that! Really the secret to any joint is “sneaking up” on the fit by first overshooting and making the joint too tight. You can then measure the difference between what you have and what the opening is with calipers and thereby bumping the fence over that corresponding amount (or half if you’re shaving off both sides). William Ng does a great job explaining this same idea in his box joint videos. Thank you Peter for checking out the video and leaving a comment!

Even if you counted the edges and ends of each board that’s still only 12 possible states of each board which would be 288 permutations. Obviously that doesn’t make sense in a tabletop. If they were considering each state of each board as a separate object we get over 384 really quick so, yeah, I don’t know how they got that number.

So with that knowledge, a super sharp blade with a light pass and a small throat opening, I had zero tear out. Give it a try sometime!

Hey Brian. Just found your channel and loved the table build and video. Will have to use the tapered dovetail joint in one of my builds/videos. Subbed and will watch more soon. Regards One Handed Maker

Thank you so much Jeff for watching and giving feedback! Anything you would do differently?
My God….!! This platform showcases the genius in people. You sir….are a artist and create beautiful items. I did not fully understand how to create the seamless joint used on the table top, and I suspect you could create a whole video on just that step. Curious how long that table to you to create..??

Thank you so much Patrick! Yeah im surprised there aren't more videos online about creating a spring joint. I suspect that most furniture makers have to make a living and these extra steps add extra time and most people probably don't scrutinize the glue seam anyways and so most people just glue the boards together right off the jointer. Oh and I think between my regular job and coming home and working on it a bit here and there...Maybe like 8 months :( Embarassing I know.

@@briantheprion not at all….I think 8 months is awesome. I am (recently) retired and started making metal and wood furniture about 9-10 yrs ago. I’m always trying to improve my wood working and love the hand tools vs power. I’m always looking to up my game and push myself out of my comfort zone. FYI: I share your opinion on the plastic epoxy tables.
Truly incredible work!

Wow. I appreciate the artistry and care used in this build. Seems a bit like a thesis or capstone project. Amazing!

Thank you so much Michael! It sorta felt like a capstone project lol. Took longer than I thought since I had to make jigs and build things to make this table…but now those jigs can be used for other projects too! What kind of stuff do you build?
Extraordinary Brian! I truly appreciate your methodical work and video content. Well done!

Very nice execution! the sliding dovetail key is particularly cool detail. And excellent production values on the video. I just happened on your channel, but I'll be subscribing to see what you come up with next.

Thank you so much for your sub and your comments! Its a tricky setup to make the mortise and tenon cut on that dovetail key but the reward is when you go to assemble the table and knowing its completely knockdown-able and super easy to assemble. I should be posting a video on a sidetable im making in the near future! Thanks again Thom!
Wow, Brian, that’s beautifully executed.
