Extending Dining Table: My Best Ever Project
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 ноя 2024
- After making over 300 woodworking projects on this channel, this is the best yet...! This is a solid oak extending dining table that seats up to 8, but best of all, the extending leaves slide out and are self storing under the main central table top. This is my interpretation of a traditional "dutch pullout extending table" design, but I struggled to find much useful information about how they actually work - so I'm not sure how close it is to the original, and I also couldn't find any information about who originally designed it so am unable to give credit where it's due!

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.
So pleasing to see you happy Keith. Well done on a stunning table. A family heirloom for years to come!
What a lovely comment. I was going to say that. 🐼 ❤
Thank you!
Every wife/girlfriend should be made to watch this to prove that one day we will find a use for the things we need to keep
It's a stunning build. The face when you started to realize everything was going according to plan was incredibly relatable
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.
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.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing
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.
As someone more profound than me once said, "You only grow out of your comfort zone"
Well done Keith, that looks awesome, very sturdy & robust when extended. Top job Sir. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I agree, this is the best thing you have ever done. Absolutely amazing build! Well done Keith. That's a family heirloom right there
For a second when you said I forgot I had these old oak…… I thought you were going to say hat & coat stands 😂 keep up the good work
It's fun to think that young Brown is going to have some of these pieces in his place one day, along with their history.
Probably missed it but how does the main part stays in place? Fantastic build by the way!
The finish really did justice to that timber, lovely look about it. 👍
Being Dutch, I didn’t know this was called a Dutch sliding table until today! It looks really smart, I am a little proud.
This is superb work Keith. My only comment is to consider rounding the edges of the tabletop. Toddlers have a habit of trying to fix furniture edges to their heads, eye sockets and ears!
Beautiful 😁
We've got a very old dining table with thr same mechanism for extending, and i never knew it was known as a dutch table. One of the projects on my list is to partially dismantle it and sort out some loose glue joints in the base frame. Been putting it off for years!
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
My grandparents had an extending table using the same mechanism. They bought it in the 1950’s and it was solid. Great job Keith.
Keith, thank you for always including how much you pay for stuff.
Memory from my childhood, we were a family with 7 children, so yes table with 2 extensions ❤
My late grandad gave my parents a Dutch pullout table like this and it works exactly how you've designed and built it.
Great work, I’m sure the table we had when I was a kid was the same mechanism as this
I made my in-laws a table like this a few years ago. Found plans by searching for draw leaf tables. It was challenging but rewarding to make.
I agree. One of my favorite projects you have made Mr. Keith!
I prefer a chunkier table but man that mechanism is really impressive and cool! A 6/4 top would be heavy for a woman to change the configuration, so well done, sir!
Looking very good, yes, you did well from a Dutch guy here 😁👍
Thanks 👍
Superb job. This is the sort of work that I asprire to. But can see that it's taken years and years of practice to get to this level. Skills are developing all the time though, Keith.
Really enjoyed this video Keith. Not only does the finished table look amazing, I learned so much from watching it. Cheers 😀
Beautiful piece and I especially love the simplicity of (the use of) the mechanism. Great solution to a very common problem.
Congrats Keith, an elegant design beautifully realised!
Great job Keith, look's really good be great for friends and family gatherings, have a nice day Mate. Brian UK !!!. 😀😀👍👍🐱🐱.
Thanks, you too!
Looks fantastic, well done Keith. As for that other species of wood, could be Ash but looks very like Chestnut also
My old dinning table from the 60s works exactly the same. Love the look of yours.
Family have one of these passed down through a couple of generations. It’s super useful. Nice work.
Great tutorial! Just what I was looking for. Thanks
Noticed 'MF DOOM - Gazzillion Ear' playing in the background. Excellent music taste!!!
The smile on your face says it all. A fantastic job Keith, it's what you wanted, it's practical, it fits the room and it looks fab. Well done and thanks for sharing. Cheers.
Looks good Keith 👍 nice to see you looking so pleased with what you have made. It's always a great feeling when something comes out as you envisioned it.
Thanks 👍
This brings back so many memories! 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.
Love this Kieth and a clever mechanism. Definitely going to check out your plans for this 👍
Excellent!
Thank you! Cheers!
Many good memories will be made around that table. Nice work, Keith.
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!
What a great table! You should be proud of it! I also love the lights that hang above your family's dining table. Very cool. Hope you have many lovely times gathering there.
Wow Keith, what a result! A really accomplished build. Perfect design and beautiful outcome. I’d love to see some oak chairs to match that table….☺️
Thanks 👍 yeah I'd love to make one chair, but 8? Naaaah!
Well done Keith you have done a great job believe in your self even us joiners make a few mistakes but it is what my dad said it’s a good joiner if he sort out his problems your table does look great 😊 as always l enjoyed your video can’t wait for your next project 👍
Thanks 👍
That really is a lovely piece of furniture and such a clever extending mechanism. Nice one 👌
Yep, deffo your best yet Sir.
I have my grandparents table that has exactly the same mechanism. It's almost 90 years old and is still going strong. Now I know its called a Dutch Style. 🙂
Great design and very similar to the dining table which my parents had since the 1960's. Nice to see the engineering which goes into it, and thanks for sharing 👍 😊
I have a table I inherited from my parents that has the exact same extending system. I've been using that table since they bought it in the 1970s. I hope yours holds up as well as this one has.
Wow! Thank you
Don't be so hard on yourself mate you're a very talented guy, that table is beautiful one of the best things I've seen you make 👌
Thank you very much!
Keith, that is absolutely brilliant. Never seen that style of extension before, it's so elegant and functional. And to be worried about it not working, but giving it a go anyway (and smashing it) is what we all love to see. Well done!
Brilliant job. That looks fantastic and is so well worked out. Definitely a piece that should pass down the generations.
Wow!! That turned out amazing and the way it extends so easily brilliant concept!
Thank you! Cheers!
Looks great.
I have definitely dealt with a few dinning tables that have been too narrow. Mostly because of space limitations.
That's a satisfying motion! Id be extending it and putting it away all day long 😂
You and me both!
A very elegant solution and project 👏
Absolutely love that table. Well done!
Spectacular!
Been a subscriber for a while and have liked pretty much everything you’ve ever made. But yes, like you, I think this takes the cake my friend. Simple, yet beautiful and functional. Aloha and thank you from Hawai’i my friend. ❤
Wow, thank you!
This really is just so lovely and ingenious- well done!!!
Well done Keith. Been watching you for years. You've come a long way!
That looks so good. Great job, and a great vid. Happy dining!
Great project, Keith. This is the sort of projects I like to see on RUclips. I look forward to your next one.
Wicked job Keith looks amazing i must say am not doubting your ability but like you im surprised at the leafs being solid. Looks amazing. The wood to me that you didn't use looked like sycamore to me. 🏴👍
You looked very happy and so you should be.. an excellent build. Here’s to many joyful family meals sat around it.
Yes! Thank you!
That smile, I know that feeling so well, great project Keith
Thanks for sharing this. I have been looking at table extensions that “hide” inside the main table. This approach or the kind that rotate and fold open have been on my list. Very helpful to see how you pulled this off. Will likely go your route.
I'm from The Netherlands, you're actually very close to the Dutch system. Well done!
awesome table! I can tell you're proud of it!
I missed this one at the time. No wonder you are pleased. Stunning piece.
I love how you are open about your mishaps too, that’s my area of expertise 😏
Excellent work Keith 👍👏😊
The table turned out absolutely amazing Keith! that oak looks stunning. Also a great example of how spending time plaanning a build can lead to fantastic results. here's to many happy years eating meals around it.
Thanks 👍
Lovely build as ever Keith, keep it up! Also, I see you're a man of impeccable taste when it comes to music, keep that up too!
Thanks, will do! 😁👌
Well done Keith. A very pleasant deign that also proves simple is best. This table will serve you and family for years so how about a full set of matching chairs next?
Awesome!! Great design. Love the functionality of the table.
Thank you! Cheers!
Lovely and very practical. Now some matching chairs.
yep, that's a beauty!
Yes, it's an extender! Fantastic. That is the icing on the cake. You know, if King Arthur had an extender on his table.. Well, it wouldn't have been round.
Lovely stuff
@@robbynobby Not your words mind you…
Just have to say amazing you got the mechanism to work and looks awesome. Love the oak.
Thanks 👍
You should be chuffed, it’s brilliant!
Exceptionally well done! Clever idea. If I might add suggestion. Because the top is loose fit, when the leaves are in, the high spots on the top of a leave or the bottom of the main top will show up as wear marks in the finish on the top of the leave. Shallow pockets, forstner, on the bottom of the main top could nicely hold sticky back felt pads to keep the 2 ever so slightly apart. Splendid idea and workmanship!
Thank you
The crossing grain pattern looks great. Almost like very large bread board ends. Cool. If I remember correctly you talked about this on the podcast (I hope for more of those ofc), and I was skeptical at the time. But this turned out great. To be perfectly honest, I think this is your best furniture build so far.
Genius design! Thanks for posting 😊
Superb job. I look forward to your videos I watch every one you have to be one of the most interesting woodworking/DIY channels on RUclips
Wow, thanks!
That is excellent work Dude. It has a hint of a breadboard ended table when extended. Very nice indeed.
Thanks 👍
Love this. The simplest design ideas are often the best. 10/10 👍
Happy to see you conquering new things and continuing to grow!! 😊 Looks great, as always.
This is fantastic and the type of videos I think you really excel at! Great to see your passion for it again!
Thank you very much!
Fair play top job I wouldn't have a clue where to start
we had that type of table when i was in primary school, back in the 70s.
That’s genius. The finish on that oak is so nice as well.
God job.. I love it... elegant
Nice work.
is good that the extensions has the grain in perpendicular direction, because you have no rail to support them from under, it could have been a weakness if you had the grain in the same direction as the main top.
For 50 years my parents had a table with extensions, the grain on the extension was perpendicular to the grain on the main top.
Alternatively, I have seen design where the apron would be attached to the extension and move along with it, serving as a rail to support the wood across the grain.
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 😂
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.
Well done Keith mate. I think it's your best piece too. Lovely. Matching timber is really difficult if from salvage or buying enough new to finish. I always try and buy from the same boule/tree for that reason - paint the furniture from leftovers😁 You collection of pieces look great though 👏👏
Bit of MF DOOM in the background at 3mins was a bonus 😉
Thanks buddy! ♥️
This is my favourite project you have done on here as well.
Very good, Keith! The table looks lovely and the mechanism is impressive. And best of all, Mickey seems to approve - what more could you want? Thanks, great video.
Many thanks!
Great job Keith, has a bit of a mission style to it. Looks like a great table, you’ll just have to make a matching sideboard to get some more surface space in your dining room. 🤜🏻⚡️🤛🏻
