    Yeah, this is actually exactly what I've been curious about. The table top is heavy, so say if someone tried to lift it by the ends to move it, I would want each part of the joint to have enough...
  2. Question about breadboard ends tenon thickness

    Hi all, my dining table project has a tabletop that's 1-1/4" thick. I'm planning to put breadboard ends on it and it'll be the first project I've added breadboard ends to. I'm wondering - what's a...

    It's solid maple - boards laminated to 1-1/4" thickness and edge glued to 44" width, and 88" long. It's fairly heavy.

    That is an excellent idea. I hadn't even considered that technique, that may be the answer...
  5. Need suggestions - attaching tabletop to legs on this design

    Hi all! I'm most of the way finished with a dining table build, and I never quite got around to planning the attachment of the table top to the legs assembly. I assumed I'd come up with some...

    Ah, I did not think of a sliding dovetail through the side rails. That's definitely something to consider. It would definitely need re-thinking my order of operations as I glue up assemblies, but...

    Rob - thank you for posting that. That may be a pretty spot on match for the color at least; I'll have to try that on some pieces soon!

    I appreciate the tongue-in-cheek comments; like I said, it's a pretty inane question, and I realize that more clearly the longer this thread gets haha :D. My "Roubo" (the quotes are necessary...

    Jim - that's a good point. I suppose I can't expect the surface of a benchtop to age with the rest of the bench.

    I realize this is a fairly inane question, too. It's more a question of how to...

    I figured that was the case; I know I'll have to wait quite a while to see it looking like that. :) In considering how I'll finish my workbench, I'm inclined to use something like BLO rather than...
  12. What causes the patina on 19th century workbenches?

    "Long time listener, first time poster."

    I LOVE the orangey brown patina with its satin sheen on 100+ year old workbenches, wooden planes, etc. While I'm not necessarily looking to replicate that...
