      Stick a hole in the top so you can put a raised part where you can put things like salt/pepper and anything else on, that should free up enough room for everyone's plates and drinks.

    I have a table like this. If you add some felt to the underside of the main table top it will stop the leaf sections getting scratched when they are put away. You can also add some wax to the sliding parts so they move smoothly.

  • @simondelacourt23
    @simondelacourt23 5 месяцев назад +2

    Amazing work Keith! As a dutchman, I can say that the table works in the exact same fashion as many tables that I'd use to own. I'd say it functions as a real dutch pull out table, but just looking quite a bit more modern.

  • @JasGawera
    @JasGawera 5 месяцев назад +6

    We had one like this in the family for over 40 years. (not as nice looking though) it was a bit rustic but solid. We passed it around in our family often as a first dining or kitchen table when someone bought their first house.
    With a little wax on the runners it was so smooth. It had finger grooves on the underside of the leaves to help pull them out.
    We passed it on to a neighbour a few years ago.
    Thanks for reminding me of it.

  • @AndyJSThomson
    @AndyJSThomson 5 месяцев назад +2

    We have an Ercol table with the same mechanism and never knew it had a name. Thank you, Keith, it just proves we are never too old to learn. One tip I will offer, is to add some felt pads to the under side of the centre piece so it doesn’t scratch the top of the extension pieces.

  • @ruud24k
    @ruud24k 5 месяцев назад

    I've made an extendable side table for my parents using the same mechanism. I did not know what it was called but I stole the idea off an old extendable table at my aunts'. Mind you, I am Dutch. So I find it quite funny it's apparently a dutch design. And I can tell you, this is exactly how my aunts' table works.
    I have no 3d skills whatsoever so it took me quite a bit of headscratching to get the angles and notches on the rails sorted. It's definitely not as straight forward as I thought when I looked at my aunts' table! Yours turned out great! nice job :D

  • @DmitryInNz
    @DmitryInNz 5 месяцев назад

    Fantastic build, Keith! We had a table like this (store bought from a Danish brand) and from memory the mechanism was almost exactly the same. One small addition I remember were two dowels attached to the main table top underneath and inserted through support rails running the length of the table. These were slightly longer than the thickness of those rails and had caps/heads at the bottom. This would act as a stop preventing the table top from lifting completely so it cannot be accidentally knocked out of place or flipped by a frustrated board game participant 😂

  • @olson.pamela
    @olson.pamela 5 месяцев назад

    Nice! I have the exact same design on my kitchen table. I purchased it at a thrift store and refinished it. I am guessing it is from the 1930s. It has an additional feature where the main top lifts off for easy moving. It is held in place by just two vertical pins. It is oak with An inlaid 3 inch border. I love my table too!

  • @ralphfell2119
    @ralphfell2119 5 месяцев назад

    Hi Kieth,
    A great project once again. Just a suggestion for you to consider, when cutting your sliding rail recesses when hogging out the excess material chisel out from each side cutting up hill so as the prevent the risk of blow out ( OK I am over the top !) and also maybe leave the extending leaves width long until finally fitted and then remove the excess with the track saw when fully fitted.
    Another suggestion stolen from antique tables, the tops were always fitted with screws that were in slots to accommodate expansion of the top and prevents the risk of cracking.
    Keep up the great work.

Some of your older videos where you repair furniture got me hooked, I really have enjoyed watching your projects change and the content evolve. I was a little curious if you still do restoration and repair as the focus has shifted to more DYI. Either way every video is amazing, entertaining and a learning experience for me. Thank you Kieth! Wishing you many delicious meals with friends, family and pets for many years!

    You should be really proud Keith. Fantastic job and looks like it could have been made by a master European carpenter from 100 years ago.
    Matching the wood was definitely the cherry on the cake. Must have been tempting to use something similar but it honestly takes it to another level the way it all matches so well.

    Really stunning piece of craftsmanship there mate! 🫶🏼😊 VERY well done. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
    Couple of things that may be worth considering as additions (I have an antique farmhouse version of what you've just made); on the underside of the leaves, about 2" from the outside edge, route some finger grooves to aid grip when pulling them out.
    Also, some felt strips on the underside of the main tabletop, where it contacts the leaves underneath, will aid smoother sliding of the leaves and will also help prevent scratching as you pull them in & out. 😉

  • @jeffroberts760

    Brilliant job Keith, absolutely right to be proud of that table, it looks lovely.
    We have the same extending leaf mechanism on our own dining table (bought second hand, not hand crafted like yours 😢). Looking underneath it looks to be the same design as yours, the only thing I could see different was that there are a couple of downwards facing dowels in the ‘arms’ that support the leaves to stop the leaves being pulled out too far.

As a kid I always looked at the mechanisms when sitting at tables like this and looked forward to the big full family dinners my grandma would host, the 8 person table would get extended to 16. That one used rails, both for the top as well as the base. My in-laws had one like you built in their previous house.

    @dimarc67 5 месяцев назад

    Brilliant! My family has/had several of this type of table over the years. Would love to build one like this. One difference I noted from your design-- I see you nested the supports for one extension inside the other under the tabletop. I've usually seen the supports for each extension positioned to the same side of the opposite extension supports, making the extensions interchangeable and not specific to only one end of the table. Not sure of any pros/cons to either choice. Very nicely done!
