Just wanted to say thank-ya very much for postin' this! Wood movement completely surprised me when I stumbled across the topic, and this was after literally HOURS if not days of watching content on it specifically. Then it's usually hand waved away with 'don't worry about it' or 'well it only matters with tables'. What if I wanna make a tables?! Good luck to me, apparently haha Anyway, finally able to see just how wood will remind the owner what it thinks about their silly nails, plus some great tips on how to guide the table while still keeping it pinned in. Recently saw one where the 'solution' was to place a table latch on either side, like you'd use with a table leaf, but zero solid securing of the middle joint of the table. Curious to see how that held up over the years. But anyhoo, thank-you again for this surprisingly tight-lipped topic. And great job on the table fix!
Glad to hear you found this helpful. This video has a low rate of views so I suspect many new woodworkers aren't aware of movement nor are they searching for it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. Scott
It's still really confusing. But happy to see someone is actually tell people how the wood moves. PS: am I the only one almost fall asleep by the gentleman voice?
You did not explain how the original wood bracket is fixed to the apron in a fashion that allows movement. Would love to see how that was originally done without more modern metal brackets.
hi Jon - the brackets were secured to the apron with a single screw. The holes through the brackets were wide enough to allow the bracket to move close to an inch at the tip. I thought it was quite smart of the original craftsman to come up with a solution like this. If you're looking for anther way to do this without metal brackets, you can create wooden buttons that slide in slots you cut in the apron. It takes some work though. Scott

I know this is an old video. Why didn't you use a wooden bracket instead of that ugly metal one just wondering
