My first table top

[Jeff1424]

I made it out of red oak in my garage.

Looks very nice!

Looks pretty good. What joinery did you use?

 

[Jeremy Scuteri]

How did you attach the breadboard ends?

 

[Jeff1424]

I used biscuits to join the boards and for the bread boards, I cut one long mortise and tenon. I didn't glue it just drilled some holes and used dowel pins.

Looks really good, Jeff. The breadboard ends look nice and tight. Now that you've taken the plunge, what's next?

great job!

 

[Jeremy Scuteri]

One thing to keep in mind with breadboard ends is to allow for expansion and contraction of the main part of the table. Many times this is done by using slotted holes.

Nicely done and the fit and form look good! Another adventure, another chapter. Keep the pics coming.
