Beautiful design! Your breadboards ends should only have glue in the middle domino and should be on the loose setting on the breadboard end portion!! No expansion allowed on a table that wide is crazy!
Love the look, HATE the design! In a few years, wood expansion and contraction will cup the top and break the glue joints where lateral stress occurs. Then you'll have a floppy top and bottom that won't handle any side-to-side stress (Ask me how I know). I'd like to see something like this table with legs that flare out on top and bottom, possibly carved with smooth curves. Please consider leaving off the table top end caps and installing multiple "C" channels underneath to minimize cupping.
Bill, thanks for taking the time to give me feedback. It's not my first table top but it is by far the largest--especially with the ends. Maybe a bad idea to cap the ends, but I guess I'll just wait and see how it ages now that it's already done. I will for sure post a follow up video if I have any trouble and need to make modifications or repairs--that would be informative for everyone.
wow, in a year or two the top will have at least one crack. A table that wide will expand and contract by over a quarter of an inch - more than enough to tear it apart. I made the same mistake on a much smaller table. A climate controlled house in Iowa will still have significant changes in humidity over the seasons. I would cut it apart and re-do the breadboard ends before the top is cracked.
Good question. I know that's a concern. The wood I started with was thoroughly kiln dried and stable, but when wood wants to move it will no matter how much glue or dominos are in it. I think in my climate controlled house it will be fine, but if it were exposed to extremes could be a problem. No guarantees either way, so hopefully I don't have to make a future video on the catastrophic failure of the heirloom table!
I´m speechless! Pretty cool designed table. Do you use scatchUp files for your CNC machine? why don´t you use Fusion 360 to easily transfer the CAD files to CAM and cut it out? It´s always a pleasure to see your professional work. Best Regards from Germany, Markus
Very nice !
LOVE it!-Great job Matt. Want to make something like that in the future. Gave me great inspiration! 🙏💪
Thanks Joe, trying to make some mistakes out here you can learn from
@@mrowenhorst Haha. You handled them like a champ! Only you and me know about them! 😄
The thought of someone leaning on it makes me anxious
Beautiful design!

That’s good advice. We’ll see if I have to redo that part

jesus thats enough rubio to do 5 of those tables lol
Haha I’m learned a lot

Are the dominos and glue in the bread board going to allow for enough expansion and contraction?

@@mrowenhorst just monitor it closely every other day and if you see some serious wood movement get it back to the shop and redo the bread board ends.
@@andreikalinkin9812 Its in my dining room--I'll notice--and make modifications if needed. Thanks!

Thanks Markus. I can import geometry straight from Sketchup to Aspire so works good, but others have recommended Fusion 360-I’ll check it out sometime
@@ModernArtisan Aspire is a really good choice for wood working.
the ol bread box ends eh
I'm predictable I guess
what do you write on your table legs?
Bible verses that my family picked out
How is that leg base goingnto support the heavy top. I have a feeling the top of those legs are going t snap off at some point.
