Nice to see and hear hand tools and not hear tacky music. This can inspire.
I love your videos! They remind me of being a kid watching "This old house" with my father, now I'm a cabinetmaker for a living. Great job!
Your attention to detail inspire me to keep trying with my wood working....
Fantastic work, I really appreciate you showing cutting the mortis with hand tools. I'm going to try it myself thank you!
Splendid. The close up's of you using tools is much appreciated. I'm a newbie with wood work and watching a master at play gives me the confidence to go ahead and have a crack at it! Much obliged.
Glad to help! I always aim to give as much detail as possible.
NICE TO SEE THE SKILLS I WAS TAUGHT BACK IN THE 60's BEING USED TODAY....
Real woodworking, proper joinery, almost no glue, let the wood breathe.
amazing video superb craftsmanship and presentation thankyou
Thanks so much for sharing!
You are so welcome!
Very good! Thank you.
Parabéns pelo seu excelente trabalho, quanta habilidade e carinho no que faz!!!

Another reason for cutting the mortises before the groove can be seen when you are plowing out the groove. With a groove in place, you lose the layout lines for producing the mortise.
I have been known to cut "a different 3/8" even with new tools. :( Nice video!!
Great video! Very clear and informative!
However - is there a reason why you would prefer to create multiple tenons as opposed to one long tenon and creating the same dowel holes and leaving room for movement on the ends?
wood expansion maybe?
His preference like u say one long one with elongated dowel holes for movement is fine ive built both ways and havent had a issue with either both tables are 10 years old with no issue
Maybe because notching the tenons is easier than plowing/chopping a really deep groove by hand, and leaves the breadboard with more wood strength. I'm researching to build a nice table, never done this particular joint before.
Another video mentioned that one single mortise left that piece of wood somewhat weak without the cheeks inside of it.
It becomes two thin boards with little to support them for all that distance.
This way the board is still stiff with only a few deep mortises in it.
It's about the mortise and not the tenon.
I didnt quite understand why only the mortise in the middle gets glued. Great video.
Any cross grain glued joint wider than about six inches will tend to split. Gluing just the center and letting the outsides expand and contract in the grooves/mortises will keep the top nice and flat.
If you cut the groove in the breadboard deeper, would there be any problems if you didn’t cut tabs between mortises? Not only would it be quicker, but seems like it would be stronger? Then you still lay out the dowels anywhere you needed just like you showed
Hello Glen, thanks for your question. How the mortises and tenons are situated provide a stronger and more locked-in way to keep the wood from moving. I hope I understood your question!
Berta nice jobs
Bravissimo
Great video, thanks for the tip. Can I put the tongue in the bread board side and the groove on the top. I have a dresser I made with 5/4 oak treaded and I trimmed the outside with oak ends but did not use the bread board method and of course the top split at the seam. If I change to a bread board trim I need to put the tongue in the trim board because of my current width of the top. Hope this makes sense.
Hmm, I've never tried it, but I don't see why not.
@@WoodAndShop thanks I will give it a try.
gj, very nice table. Why cutting tenons on the and of long boards? Would not just a deep tongue and groove do the job too?
The tenons keep the breadboard end from moving so much.
@@WoodAndShop Hi, how would you get the breadboard ends flush with the top? Or can you even?

How thick is a desk surface?
👍👍
That saw cuts like a hot knife through butter. Wow
It's not exactly oak now is it.
I thought the same.
Yeah is that pine? ...Mentions later it’s white pine.
These are breadboard ends or breadboard joints.
I would like to point out some people change a joint to the extent that it no longer is that joint. A method using dominoes has been spreading on the web proclaiming this to be an easy or trick way to make this joint has begun to confuse people. So, on my mighty stead I ride.
I find that many people are calling this Dominoe method of producing a Breadboard joint as an easy or trick method, should realize that this isn't a breadboard joint (or breadboard end) anymore. This is one reason it is easier since it isn't the joint anymore.
This is a specific kind of joint and using dominoes has varied so far from this joint as to not be this joint anymore. I would also challenge those who think that it is, to consider if one made in the same way with dowels would still be a breadboard joint or if the dowels were totally eliminated and used a butt joint was still a breadboard end.
It isn't the application of a board across the grain which produces this joint but the method of joinery, and the reason for doing this joinery in the first place.
what kind of plane is that at the 18:00 mark?
That is a Stanley #45. It is a plane that can be reconfigured to cut grooves and dadoes of various sizes. Otherwise, the craftsman needs several planes, on for each 1/8" increment. I think the 45 can also make some types of beads and molding.
Is there a way to make bread board ends with hand tools without having a plough plane?
You could use a chisel and make a poor mans router plane. You could also take a back saw and saw the lines and then chisel them. Only the ends need to be exact, so there is room for error.
Is there a purpose for this, or is it just decorative?
The wide tabletop will tend to cup with changes in humidity. The breadboard keeps the top from cupping while still allowing it to move with changes in humidity.
it hides the end grain as well, which i suppose is primarily an aesthetic concern.
Looks great next project you do you should mark your depth on your bit with a piece of tape
Not a bad idea, but since he most likely has done it plenty he most likely knows how many turns it takes to bore thru and if he was not talking he would not have to feel for the tip.
What kind of backsaw is he using? In particular, how is it able to rip and make cross cuts so easily?
You can saw white pine with dental floss.
...and you can bet this man knows how to sharpen a saw.
I made it by myself. I used woodprix scripts for that.
I love that idea Dennis
