Finally, a side table without pocket holes joints
I would love more videos like this showing the basic anatomy/construction of traditional furniture. It’s so helpful for people like me that are learning
Perfect video for me now. This is exactly the info I needed. Building two end tables for my daughter right now
As a woodworking hobbyist of some years, your video provided a calming, informative and most enjoyable interlude. This school holidays my daughter (6), son (8) and I are making a pair of bedside tables just like yours with the addition of a lower shelf. We are makers and our kids will really enjoy working on this fine project. Many thanks and cheers from Sydney, Aust - Dave
This is perfect, I'm making a new end table for my old man's birthday. I have made plenty of dovetailed boxes and the like but just had a few things I wasn't sure about, this cleared the process right up. Thank you!
Thank you for posting this. You are correct, there is a definite lack of information available to most hand tool workers.
Very nice format - clear and concise but detailed enough to provide the information required to do a great job putting together the product. Really nice job!!
Finally! Thanks. Very useful to have this overview before how to build it. I wish more people would do this as it's super helpful to learners.
Thanks Farnsworth, that is a very nice little video giving a good overview of how a table comes together. Thumbs up.
This is an important video to understand how the anatomy of a piece of furniture
Absolutely beautiful table and the grain from the quarter sawn oak stole the show. Awesome work.
Glad you liked it Thom! Yes, the figure is the most impressive part.
That is just beautiful-love the traditional hand-made elements to the build. Subscribed!
What a wonderful video and exposition you gave. Congratulations for your awesome labor !!!
Your skills have improved over the 1+years I’ve subscribed to your channel. Beautiful work Joshua. Thanks for sharing. May God bless you and your family. Merry Christmas, brother.
Thank you so much!!!! This is exactly the kind of video I was looking for!
Awesome projects Josh! It's very nice to see you upload some new content again!
Thanks Dru! I know, I need to be better about uploading more. I just need life to slow down a big :)
Very informative video for the beginning wood craftsman. Thanks!
Very good Josh! You out did your self this time! Thanks.
Glad you liked it! I've got a similar one coming out next week that shows the Anatomy of a Shaker wall cupboard.
wow thank you! i wanted to make a little table with drawers.
Great craftsmanship. I plan on trying most of these techniques!
Great!
This is a beautiful table design. I would love to see more of these anatomy style videos :) It really helps in working out projects. Thank you Joshua ॐ
Glad you liked it! I'll be filming another anatomy video soon, about wall cabinets with doors.
Great :) I will look forward to it ॐ
Great timing to find this! I'm just about to embark on building a small end table for our living room. Didn't think of a drawer before, but might reconsider now that I know how to do it. Thanks for the great tutorial, Joshua!
You're welcome Asher!
Just Incredible! Exceptional craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Escobar!
Just lovely! Thanks for sharing.
Very nice craftsmanship!
Beautiful work!!
Thank you for the video
Beautiful craftsmanship
You're most welcome Calvin. Thanks for following!
Wow, those are great, well done old school quality.
Thanks!
BRAVO 👏👏👏..This video should be to go guide for any beginning craftsman or furniture builder... What is shown here will save you hours and hours of research and many mistakes.. hint.. There is more information inside here than just what the title is.. Thank you
This is such a great video. It really helped me put together the big picture of how an end table comes together. Something that I've searched for but couldn't find. Thank you! BTW, the tables are beautiful. Great design and craftsmanship!
Glad it helped Michael! Like I said, this information is poorly documented in books and online.
I could have used this video earlier this year when I built a similar side table! I had never made a drawer before, and ended up finding some plans that showed basically the same techniques, the exception being that the drawer bottom is 1/4" stock, not beveled 1/2" stock. There really isn't much information on the internet about making drawers. That fumed quartered oak is gorgeous!
Thanks for the comment Jeremy! Yeah, the thicker drawers are more traditional and higher quality. Hope you can share your project on my forum!
Thank you very much for this explanation. It will be helpful in future projects.
You're most welcome!
Very inspiring! Thank you!
That was perfect, thanks for that.
Thank you for sharing
Boy that was a big white oak tree 😍🥰
Thank you. Perfect.
Thanks, Joshua. Good information. Excellent video.
You're most welcome Mary!
Nice job Joshua
Pura vida mi amigo great job and I like to see a furniture in that way for me it is more easy in order to learn about woodworking joins
Big thanks for that video, very interesting, I've made some, but I prefer the way you've done it, the big difference is the way you make the front table, the double tenon and the lapped dovetail joint.
Glad you liked it!
I've always wanted to know this, thanks so much for sharing it!
You're welcome Ben, glad it helped!
Greetings from Richmond! Those are beautiful tables. Best wishes for the holidays.
Howdy neighbor! Glad you liked it. Hope you can join us at the school when it opens in the spring!
Very informative. Thank you
You're most welcome Antonio!
Thanks Joshua, you are correct there is not a lot of detail on end tables...most helpful
Cheers Paul (in the UK)
Glad you liked it Paul! Always happy to have my UK buddies watch. I used to live in Scotland. Where do you live?
Hi, I live in Leicester have done for 11 years since emigrating from Nottingham.. :) I have recently retired and have kitted 2/3rd of a single garage out in power tools and machines. :Looking to make the missus something for her besides spice boxes etc etc. Will give an end table a go after Christmas. ... Cheers Paul
Wonderful
Thanks for the good info 👍🏻
You're welcome Al!
So beautiful
Thanks!
Beautiful
Thanks Chris!
Beautiful table! Next time you should do the buttons so that the grain direction goes 90 degrees other way. otherwise the button will snap and break when the top moves or you tighten the screws.😊
very helpful
Great video - Thanks for sharing this with all of us.
You're welcome!
Nice video. Very well done! -Jim
You're welcome Jim!
Well, after many years of safe happy woodworking, last Tue night I was cross cutting the legs for 2 tables like these I am making. In a careless instant I glanced the spinning blade of my tablesaw (yes, no safety hood) with the back of my left fingers and in a microsecond all digits were cut badly, including the loss of 50% of the knuckle and cartilage of my ring finger, knuckle damage to my thumb, loss of nerves to my middle finger and several severed tendons. The recovery will be significant and I may not regain anything like normal function. Working late at night when tired with no safety cover (I know of few who leave theirs on) and my mistake was almost inevitable. So take care friends - please don't work tired! This is a tough time for this Aussie pianist. Regards, Dave
So sorry Dave! I sure hope you're able to use hand tools in the future. They're not as fast, but a lot more safe. Feel better soon!
@@WoodAndShop Many thanks Joshua - very kind. I'm just back from seeing the surgeon and early signs are good. I've always preferred hand tools but will continue to use my beloved machinery as required. When I can get back to it my 2 bedside tables will incorporate much of your construction techniques and I may throw in a few wedged tenons or exposed dovetails if they can be done subtly (doubtful). Really love watching your videos - they are a real blessing to me, incapacitated as I am at the moment! Many thanks - Dave
@@deldridg I love to see people who don't give up on what they love!
@@WoodAndShop Well - a couple of weeks have passed since my accident and I am back in my workshop and enjoying every moment of making these beautiful tables. Today I cut all the mortise and tenons for the sides and began cutting the joinery for the drawer rails according to your fine video! Work is a bit slower with one hand but it's a lovely process and I thank you for your encouragement! (I'm very much in love with my Lie Nielsen dovetail saw...) Regards, David - PS. Not at all scared of my beloved table saw - it's up to me to be smarter in the future! (I have had many ask me if I've thrown it away yet... honestly!)
Oh, my, so very sorry to hear about your accident. Praying you have a full recovery so you can go back to the woodworking you enjoy. All the best...
nicely done.
Thanks Frank!
nice quality!
Thanks.
Amazing work, I'm working on a very similar project currently, sans the drawer. I suppose that'll be my next project. But again you did a great job, and beautiful simplicity and wood choice on those medullary rays.
Glad you enjoyed it Brandon! Hope you can get involved on my website.
What if you increased the dimensions for width and turned this into a hall table? And instead of having a single drawer you did two drawers? Could you cut out two holes in the front apron instead of using rails? Or if you used rails what would go between the two drawers and between the rails? And how would those drawer runners join with the front and rear aprons? I love this video it’s so helpful. Thank you.
Nice!
wew.. saya sangat suka sekali terhadap teknik yang anda gunakan.. it's nice work...
Indonesian?
ya benar.. akhir-akhir ini saya sangat menyukai tentang kayu dan tekniknya.. videonya anda memberikan motivasi yang bagus bagi saya.. selamat berkarya... salam hangat dari woodworker indonesia.. padang, west sumatera..
Thanks to Google translate I was able to read your message. Thanks for watching, and I hope you can visit WoodAndShop.com!
ya.. saya akan mencobanya..
Very nice video. Thanks!
Amazing
Thanks Klaus!
my dream is to create my own bedroom set, I already started my floating wall set for my TV and entertainment system, which has floating shelving. I am still adding finishing touches to project. I need a nice Cherry finish with a custom mixture of stains. to get that perfect look. :D
Do you bother to finish the inside of the nightstand? Great tutorial thanks for sharing!
wel done!
Thanks!
Nice video for end table with drawer anatomy, how did you attach the drawer runners for the bottom of the drawer and kickers too?
Hi, love these videos. Lots of content out there about techniques, but not a lot about construction/design. May I ask what the overall dimensions are of this end table? Height, width, depth, and drawer height. Thank you.
Beautiful table! I'm curious about the process of sizing the drawer front tot he opening to create the slight reveal. Is this done with a hand plane?
Great video, do you just use glue or use screws to attach the runners and kickers?
Cool
Thank you for this video :)
Most welcome!
Hi! is it possible to say .... what space should a drawer have between tthe drawer itself and the "hole" where the drawer will fit ... so it can slide (open and close) smoothly ?
Thank you so much ...
greetings from Portugal
Great Video, are the runners and the kickers glued on also? I hear that the doublers are glued.
Thank you in advance.
How did you attach the pieces that the drawer slides on top of? Nice job by the way! Enjoy your videos!
Given the orientation of the grain on the buttons, won't the lip be prone to cracking off when you tighten them down @4:33? I feel like the grain should run straight in to the mortise. Beautiful side table either way!
this!
Did you use 8/4 lumber for this table for the legs? Nice job!
I subbed... I wonder how much you'd charge to train someone for a couple weeks... Honest question.
4:37 - the "buttons" holding the table top down should have the grain running in the other direction, for greater strength. Tables often get shifted & lifted by the top, but you'd likely get away with it on such a small table as this.
These end tables have terrific proportion and I think they are really well designed. My woodworking skills are coming along but I struggle with the design process. Are you willing to share dimensions of this piece? Sometimes when I’m done with a project I’m happy with my craftsmanship but it just looks “off’.
Sure. I didn't use plans, but sketched it up quickly. I'll go back to my notes and see what the measurements were. Just email me through my website's contact form and I'll respond.
Really great video. Did you apply any finish to the sides of the drawer?
Thanks! The accompanying blog post talks about that, but as a summary I put a few light coats of shellac on the interior drawer parts. However, this is optional.
Very handsome piece. How thick was your stock?
Thank you! I believe I milled it somewhere close to 3/4" thick. Probably not exactly though, as I milled it from a tree.
At 1.36 you say "the rear end tenons are tapered so they clear each other"... What part is tapered ? It doesn't look tapered. Thank you for a very educational video.
This video shows exactly what I'm talking about: woodandshop.com/how-to-fit-mortise-tenon-part-9-of-build-a-dovetail-desk-with-hand-tools/
Thank you. I got it now. Very nice how precisely you show every detail.
Thank you. There is a lack of info out there. Out of curiosity, why a double tennon instead of just a single tennon?
You're welcome Joe. The double tenon keeps the piece more stable. Sometimes a tenon can twist in a mortise a bit. That would cause the drawer to not fit.
Love your work and videos! You mention that quartersawn is best for woodworking right? I can't find any lumber mills in Tennessee that handle or cut quartersawn lumber. Will plain sawn hardwoods not work at all?
Hi Gary. Quartersawn isn't required for ever part of furniture, but for parts that require real stability, or beautiful figure, it is best. Most hardwood lumber yards will have quartersawn lumber. Just ask the workers.
@@WoodAndShop Thanks so much! You do a great job!
Who makes those screw drivers you were useing
It's an antique, and I don't believe there's a maker's name stamped on it. But eBay should have some.
What was the finish you used?
The link in the description has that information: woodandshop.com/tableanatomy/
How do you make the drawer knob hold, I see some mark inside, but that's all.
Great question. It is a wedged tenon. The tenon goes through a mortise, and then I use wedges to hold it tight. Here's a tutorial on my website: woodandshop.com/how-to-wedge-mortise-tenon-joints/
Thanks
How many woodworkers are there?
zero they don't exist
Great video! Can anyone recommend a book on furniture construction and design to a beginning woodworker?
Thanks Charles! I've searched, and there's really not much that's helpful on the subject. There is an older book here: amzn.to/2igC0YS
But taking classes is more helpful. I'll be opening a school in the spring. Also, some DVDs can be helpful. I've got a bunch in my store here: store.woodandshop.com/
What's the music?
It's a Civil War era song called "Hard times come again no more" written by Stephen Foster, and performed by my friend Jonathan Lubeck.
What's ammonium? Water solution of ammonium or something else?
Ammonium Hydroxide is commonly called Ammonia. It is used for cleaning.
aha! thanks!
Why do the call it an end table? Why not a beginning table?
You're right! Instead of being "ends" to a sofa or bed, why not call the sofa or bed a "end sofa" or "end bed"? :)
No disrespect sir, the noise of your dry mouth are disturbing. But i shouldn't complain because this is a beautiful video.
This bothers me as well, it isnt dry mouth. It is a mouth tick that is spreading like a virus in North America. I finally found the first instance of it and now I know why it bothers me so much. Pay attention to the boss in Office Space to see it in action. It was obviously behing lampooned by Mike Judge, but the tech industry didn't notice and adopted it as a normal speech pattern.
I love his woodworking, so I try not to let it bother me too much, but it is VERY excessive.
New to your channel. I am literally at the drawer making part of this build. Very surprised to see such a perfectly timed video on my feed for me!! Thank you for all the information. This is just perfect!!
Glad you liked it Justin! Did you check out the blog post? It has more info.
