    I recently did a cutting board using edge-joined oak panels for the middle and maple panels for the ends. The joinery was done with 1” tenons and finished with 1/4” dowels. Finished it up with butcher block conditioner and I was amazed at how great it looks.

      I bet that did look good. Something else that would look awesome is walnut ends on a maple top with maple dowels but that’s for another day. Sounds like yours turned out fantastic and I’m so glad you were able to achieve the results you wanted!

    Very nice. Your instructional videos are always clear, concise, and complete (pardon the alliteration). And, you are correct - folks are going to pick the table up by the end, so it better be structurally sound, and your methods seems very strong. Can't wait to try it myself.

    Great video man! I really like how you break everything down to understand easily. The first kitchen table I made about a year ago I used pocket screws on my breadboard ends because that’s all I knew about at the time. I noticed today that the table is now splitting. I’m definitely using your technique on my current kitchen table build. Thanks!

    This was my first attempt at breadboard ends for a table & benches. I used through tenons & tried used HeadLOK lag screws to pin from the ends. I pre-drilled the breadboards keeping the center hole just slightly smaller than the lag screw then made the others holes large enough so the lag screw actually ratttled in the hole. I drove the center in tight to pull everything in then drove the outer screws. This also provided a decorative touch since I used the same lag screws on the base made of 4x4s

    Great video! Seems like I’m always recommending a video to help out someone who has never done breadboards. The problem I’ve had in finding one to recommend is that 99% of the ones I’ve watched leave out at least one important aspect, mainly the fact that the mortise (if it’s a stopped mortise) has to be wider than the tenon. Yours is one of the few that does talk about that, so your video will be my new go-to for someone to learn breadboards. In your video, you asked us to tell how we do breadboards. I use the domino method. I glue the dominoes to the table side, and I leave them unglued for the breadboard side. I also change my setting on my Domino to the loose setting when drilling the mortises on the breadboard side. Drives me nuts to see a video using the dominoes where they have to use a mallet to get their breadboard on. I’m not sure how they think the widened holes on the tenons will help with wood movement, when the wood doesn’t have any room to move 🤔 One thing I do that it didn’t look like you did is when I mark my holes on the tenons with a punch, I move my brad point bit about 1/32” toward the table from the punch mark to drill my hole. Then I sand one side of the bottom on my dowel. When I tap in my dowel, the sanded edge allows the dowel to go in the offset tenon hole. As I tap in that dowel, it draws the breadboard tighter against the table than it would if the holes were perfectly aligned. Thanks for the great video!!!

    • @rhwoodshop
      @rhwoodshop  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That’s awesome to hear. The reason why I did not do a draw tenon was because I clamped the breadboard end to the table as tight as it could possibly go before I drill my holes so whenever I went to put it back in place for final glue up, I reclamped the breadboard end to tap in my dowels. No need for a draw dowel in the tenon when you do that method. Typically a method like yours which is perfectly fine is if you do not clamp it in place. It just takes the place of the clamp. Awesome job!

    This is the video that made sense to me. I appreciate the fact that you explained it in layman's terms. I'm definitely subscribing!
    One follow up question: How far apart would you recommend that those dowels be placed? I'm making a 40" wide farmhouse table with the breadboard ends. I'm using tongue and groove for the long boards with breadboard ends to keep them flat. It's 2x6 Douglas Fir that is kiln dried. I live in the desert northeast of Los Angeles. For the majority of the year, the humidity is less than 10% but in winter it can get above 50% on rainy days, though those don't happen very often. I have 5 dowels, evenly spaced, for each end in my plans.

    • @rhwoodshop
      @rhwoodshop  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you very much I am glad that this video really helped. As far as the width apart, you really don’t have to worry about that, I would just say one dowel per plank that makes up your top. My top consisted of 6 inch wide planks and each one had a centered dowel on each tongue that was inserted into the breadboard end.

  • @ensen89
    @ensen89 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The integral tenon u use is very strong and the best way to make it. If it is hidden or visible on the sides is just personal preference.
    I don't like the dowels in there. The best way in my opinion is to make a small bow in the end board. You glue it on with a 4 to 5 inches long glue seem in the middle and clamp it of cause. The glue will hold it tight in the middle and the bow will hold it tight on the ends.

      ensen89 I've never heard of this, I'd love to hear more about it. What size panels (and what thickness) have you had success with this technique. How small of a bow are you talking about, and how do you cut it? I'm guessing it would need to be a very subtle but also very consistent curve to work.

    • @ensen89
      @ensen89 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@jeremyspecce This is called spring joint or sprung joint. I don't know where I picked it up, but it was somewhere on youtube. I did not find the video I saw it first, but I found some others. It is also used in panel glue up to safe on time and clamps. In some situations you can used bowed clamping cauls to transfer force, where you can not reach with a clamp. To me this was a common technique.

      There is some debate how much bow there sould be. On the table shown in this video you should get away with something between a 16th and 32nd of an inch.
      Those guys freehand the bow with a handplane or set the jointer up to cut it.
      I think as a rule of thumb you can just take your board, put some thin stock under the ends and test how much bow you can strong, but comfortable clamp into it.
      I can think about simple to make jigs for the router to cut it, but those videos up there show, that you don't really need it.
      Let's say you want a 3/64 bow. you take a piece of mdf or plywood with a straight reference edge the same lenght as your board. take a flexible batten with nice, straight grain. Make it flush at the ends and put a nail or small block behind it at the ends. Bend the bow in it in the middle and pin nail it down all the lenght from the middle to both sides. Reinforce it from behind with hot glue or some thick epoxy. Flush trim it with the router and than flush trim the board to it. I picked that method up from a boat builder by the way. Have a nice weekend.

      I think that would work too but sliding dovetails require an immense amount of precision. If you take your time and make sure that your table top and breadboard end is completely flat before routing out your joinery, it can be done but everything must be in line. Tongue and groove joinery can give you a little bit of leeway

    So, do you feel that the tongue and groove method in your video is as strong
    at holding everything together (without any cracking) as cutting out 3 or 5 mortise and tenon joints?

    • @rhwoodshop
      @rhwoodshop  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I do think that tongue and groove increase the glue surface area to help all the table together better because it’s running down the entire length of the table but it is mainly there to help align the pieces together. Mortise and tenon will obviously do the same thing it just won’t have near the glue surface area. That’s all. I still think either way will help keep the table together as long as you have plenty of glue.
      Now in regards to the breadboard end, glue is not involved I would just make sure that the mortise and tenon is a good size to allow for the joinery to stay together. It will also help prevent the tenon from sticking out past the breadboard end. Again in this case, you can use either method and it will work just fine.

    Being a novice, I have a question regarding wood movement on a table top. What is to stop the polyurethane from cracking from wood movement?

    • @rhwoodshop
      @rhwoodshop  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Well most finishes has a good amount of flexibility and since the movement is so subtle from day to day, the finish has the ability to adjust. Personally, I hate polyurethane as a finish because it looks too much like plastic. Not to mention, it does not hold up to abuse very well. After a while it gets to feel sticky all the time. If you have the time, try out precat lacquer or even post cat lacquer. It is super hard, stands up to a lot of abuse and it is flexible . Might give it a try. Thanks.

      @joshyingling 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I know it's a contested subject but since the invention of air conditioning, the air quality and moisture content inside buildings doesn't change that much like it used to. So wood movement is not as big of a concern. One big reason you'll see tables Crack and shrink is because people build them out of construction lumber like 2x6s or 2x4s. Those are very wet,generally speaking, and not the best choice for quality furniture like a kitchen table. So the table is built in a "swollen"wet state and once put in your house it dries out gradually and shrinks. I don't disagree with this video at all nor building to Protect from wood movement but you'll notice that using hardwoods that are dry won't tend to move as much as home depot or lowes lumber. Just a tid bit for a novice wood worker. This is a great video. The samurai carpenter also talks of wood movement and how he deals with it or doesn't deal with it.

      @rhwoodshop  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@joshyingling You are right and I HIGHLY appreciate your explanation on this construction, but I did want to clarify something with these tables in the the video. When making tables that are shipped over the US, moisture content can be different from where I am to where these tables are going. It just so happened that these tables were going from OKC to a Houston restaurant that had a lot of garage bay doors that would be open when the days were nice and shut otherwise. This type of use would require this construction because opening the doors would eliminate the moisture control from the AC. From what I have been told these tables have moved a lot back and forth due to these changes in how the business operates.
      You are completely right on how tables used to be made with wet wood, but you should always take into account how the tables will be used and where they are going to live. Never use wet wood for construction like this but never disregard the use and location either. Thank you so much Josh and keep up the great comments, my followers really appreciate it.

I was watching the video with closed captioning on so as not to wake up my wife with the sound, hence the paying attention to what you were saying and not what you were doing. Thanks for the clarification.

    • @rhwoodshop
      @rhwoodshop  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, just used dowels in the center of each board regardless of if it’s an even or an odd number. It just worked out that mine was an odd number. You don’t have to necessarily glue the center of the breadboard, you could glue just one end while the rest of it be unglued except for the dowels

    I used a Kreg Jig to drill the holes out but I used outdoor 2.5" deck screws which are smaller than the Kreg screws and don't have the washer end. The kreg jig is set for 1.5" thick. This leaves a quarter inch of material between the top and the end of the screws. I put four on each board with two on each end. Then I cheated and overlapped about an inch and a half of The Trestle style legs over the breadboard which was 6 in wide so there's about 4 in to the end of the board from the leg. I did a center beam and it sticks forward about 3 in on either side and it's going to have a 1 by 2 through it just for looks. Instead of using 4 by 4 as I used 2 x 6 studs on everything. This kept the cost down to about $400 of lumber roughly instead of 22 a piece for 4x4s theyre 5 dollars.
    Even though there's only one inch from that Center beam overhang by the tabletop it doesn't really matter because no one's going to be sticking their legs on the ends since they're just two benches for a picnic table so nobody should be kicking the ends accidentally. I also chamfered everything with a router

    You glued the dowels all the way through, and you didn’t step the dowel holes back a 1/16” to pull the breadboard end tighter? How will ends move it dowels are glued through the hole?

    • @rhwoodshop
      @rhwoodshop  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you noticed, whenever the dowels were hammered through and even drilled through before putting in the dowels, the table was clamped breadboard end to breadboard end and pulled as tight as possible. So the 1/16 offset was not necessary.
      I have been keeping track of this table because I get to see it pretty often and the movement has been working just fine. The dowels can give like a bow and arrow.

    • @rhwoodshop
      @rhwoodshop  5 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @DGH550
    @DGH550 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Almost every video about breadboard ends they show finger tenons instead of one long tenon. When I asked why not one long tenon they mention wood movement. But doesn’t the wood move along the whole length of the board? Finger tenons just didn’t make sense to me, other than more work? What have you noticed about your method of using one long tenon, why not fingers? BTW, I made a large cherry table top with breadboard ends awhile ago using your method and it is still perfectly flat.

  • @_J.F_

    Where I live we get very big changes in relative humidity over the year so breadboard ends are just not a very good idea, even if you make them the right way. Half of the year, roughly, the breadboard ends are a little proud of the rest of the table, and half the year they are flush. I suppose that sealing the entire table top surface efficiently with varnish, when the fit is perfect, would help a lot, but I don't really like the thick varnish look and wax or oil does just not do the job well enough.

      Well, that is the one thing you don’t want to prevent. Trying to stop wood movement is a sure fire way to have your project fail in the future. Wood movement is going to occur whether you want it to or not. Trying to prevent it will ruin the project as it moves because your table top will eventually crack.

    Hey man this is great thank you!!! I'm so glad to see thsi particular method from a pro. I've seen from others, that they make huge tongues/notches on the end of the table, with corresponding depressions in the breadboard, which increases the difficulty tremendously. Have you experienced ANY issues with the method you show in this video? If not, I'll do this when I make my future patio dining table and indoor coffee table. Cheers in advance!

      Good observation but a lot of the glue gets scraped off from being put through a very snug hole. I have watched this table over the past year and a half and it is expanding and contracting perfectly. If you are concerned about glue getting into the oversized hole then hammer the dowel in almost all the way and then apply some glue then finish the dowel push through. Honestly though, it does not get a whole lot of glue in the hole.
