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.
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.
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. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
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.
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 😏
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!
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. 🤜🏻⚡️🤛🏻
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.
You should be really proud Keith. Fantastic job and looks like it could have been made by a master European carpenter from 100 years ago. Matching the wood was definitely the cherry on the cake. Must have been tempting to use something similar but it honestly takes it to another level the way it all matches so well.
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 😂
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?
A superb build Keith, the mechanism is famous and dates back many years as my nan had a table with exactly the same idea and never failed. Great video 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.
This is the one I’ve been waiting for! Amazing job, never underestimate how much you can do. As I’ve said before, this is my favorite channel, hands down! Some of your older videos where you repair furniture got me hooked, I really have enjoyed watching your projects change and the content evolve. I was a little curious if you still do restoration and repair as the focus has shifted to more DYI. Either way every video is amazing, entertaining and a learning experience for me. Thank you Kieth! Wishing you many delicious meals with friends, family and pets for many years!
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.
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.
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.
Hi Keith, what an amazing table absolutely stunning, a lot better than you can buy in a furniture shop. I've enjoyed watching this build project. Nice work as always a great video Take care
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 👍 😊
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.
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!
Lovely Job Keith, my parents had one of these (made by G-plan I believe) when I was young, and it's still going strong, it's such a clever design ! You did a fantastic job, recreating the mechanism and the whole project came together really nicely, I was so relieved that you didn't make any mistakes and your spontaneous joy was apparent for all to see ! All in all a beautiful job, and an heirloom project for you and your family to make memories around , thanks for taking us along for the ride !

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 passed it on to a neighbour a few years ago.
Thanks for reminding me of it.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing
Looking very good, yes, you did well from a Dutch guy here 😁👍
Thanks 👍
Being Dutch, I didn’t know this was called a Dutch sliding table until today! It looks really smart, I am a little proud.
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.
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.
My late grandad gave my parents a Dutch pullout table like this and it works exactly how you've designed and built it.
Congrats Keith, an elegant design beautifully realised!
Looks fantastic, well done Keith. As for that other species of wood, could be Ash but looks very like Chestnut also
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!
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
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!
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. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The finish really did justice to that timber, lovely look about it. 👍
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.
Looks fantastic and I love that mirror 💙❤️💚🙂
Thank you! 🤗
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.
Really impressive Keith! 🎉
Nice one Keith. Classy looking table.
Great work, I’m sure the table we had when I was a kid was the same mechanism as this
superb Keith. Lovely build.
Cheers buddy!
I agree. One of my favorite projects you have made Mr. Keith!
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! 😁👌
I agree, this is the best thing you have ever done. Absolutely amazing build! Well done Keith. That's a family heirloom right there
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 😏
That is excellent work Dude. It has a hint of a breadboard ended table when extended. Very nice indeed.
Thanks 👍
That looks so good. Great job, and a great vid. Happy dining!
My old dinning table from the 60s works exactly the same. Love the look of yours.
Just have to say amazing you got the mechanism to work and looks awesome. Love the oak.
Thanks 👍
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 TH-cam
Wow, thanks!
Lovely and very practical. Now some matching chairs.
Well done Keith. Been watching you for years. You've come a long way!
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!
Family have one of these passed down through a couple of generations. It’s super useful. Nice work.
My grandparents had an extending table using the same mechanism. They bought it in the 1950’s and it was solid. Great job Keith.
Great job Keith, lovely table.
Awesome!! Great design. Love the functionality of the table.
Thank you! Cheers!
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!
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. 🤜🏻⚡️🤛🏻
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.
Genius design! Thanks for posting 😊
Nice mate. Can tell how proud of that one you are, nothing more satisfying than when it just 'works'.
Excellent 😊
Thanks!
Many good memories will be made around that table. Nice work, Keith.
You should be really proud Keith. Fantastic job and looks like it could have been made by a master European carpenter from 100 years ago.
Matching the wood was definitely the cherry on the cake. Must have been tempting to use something similar but it honestly takes it to another level the way it all matches so well.
Thank you!
This is my favourite project you have done on here as well.
Really enjoyed this video Keith. Not only does the finished table look amazing, I learned so much from watching it. Cheers 😀
Excellent video as always. Lovely table very well made, well impressed with the extender mechanism. Keep up the great work.
Thank you very much!

Your dining table looks simply magnificent !!
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?

Cheers!
Great project, Keith. This is the sort of projects I like to see on TH-cam. I look forward to your next one.
Memory from my childhood, we were a family with 7 children, so yes table with 2 extensions ❤
Excellent!
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice job Keith, well thought out.
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.

That looks amazing.

That’s class, well done 👍
Fantastic job, this looks great.
Beautiful piece and I especially love the simplicity of (the use of) the mechanism. Great solution to a very common problem.
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.
