Thanks for doing this video. It's good to see various ways good wood works approach doing things. Have you ever made and used a chair makers vise for tenons. Opening a can with a chisel! Ahhhhhh 🤣
I'm glad someone noticed the chisel. I have used a chair maker's vice in the past. I don't find them to be incredibly useful for most applications. But every now and then there's something where they really are the right tool for the job. For most tenons on straight pieces of wood, I find just a standard advice to be far more functional and easy to work with.
Very nicely done, I also like the simple but classic design a lot! At first it kinda hurt me to see the red oak stained. Few things as beautiful as oilded red oak imho. But it came out gorgeous anyways! I even rewatched the parts with the finished tables several times :D
Nice, robust tables. Great for families with kids careening around the kitchen, banging into them with big wheel trikes, skateboards, skooters, etc. Not gonna dent *those* tables! (But to support the channel, let me know your mailing address and I'll send you a paint can opener!... I know that those blue Marples are not the world's best chisels, but it was so *painful* to watch that stain can being opened with a chisel 😢🤣)
hey james, nicely build! i would not go for the taint either, but as you say, hey it's their table! you say we never have the end of the project... does that mean will just never see the end of the end table series i ve been waiting for? :D
James, joinery makes me so nervous/anxious. Is practice the main answer? I started the joinery window with you last time but had surgery right in the middle of the series. Just never got started again. Thanks. Wow. Now that I got to the end of the video, that's a really cool design. It would also make an excellent extendable sewing or craft table. 😁
I'm on a commenting spree today. Question: i have built a much simpler version of this undercarriage for an outdoor farmhouse table. After several years, the legs have come loose and the thing needs to be refurbished. Do the mortises and tenons in this version prevent the leg wobble from developing? Or is that inevitable due to the leverage of the long legs?
Yes. The mortise and tenon is what provides the structure. The fasteners just keep them together so you can take it apart in the future. If you don't have the mortise and tenon the screws will just work out over time.
Would a sliding dovetail have worked for the gussets or due to the miter would it just be unstable? I know Matt Estlea has a video about mitered dovetails but I don't know if it would work in this application.
In this application it would not add any strength. If the boards ended at each other then it might. But dovetails don't work very well if one board intersects the other midway.
These are the videos I like best!
I really liked the result, James! Beautiful tables! 😃
Really fantastic work!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Red oak is lovely.
Ooh, very nice! Love the way they nest under each other!

I love the tool to open stain can:D

Red oak is a great wood. I have made several tables with it. I love the utility of your design and the stain adds a nice variation.

Lol. But that is the best can opener ever made?
nice

it really is just practice. one you are comfortable sawing to a line then everything else comes together.

@@WoodByWrightHowTo awesome. I really like the look of the apron/legs instead of a trellis. Plus I need an excuse to get my mortise on. Thanks!
