So, he saved a hundred mallet taps and made the whole joint twice as weak. Not so brilliant. Also, he removed too much material from the male dovetail - it was possible to remove small "wedges", as he did with the female part. Guess that again removed some stiffness. And last - with that design it was possible to leave both edges of the table solid, but he decided to close one end of female dovetail with plug. Not so elegant. So, great video, great idea, but not refined enough.
It is awesome and inspiring how much love you put into every detail. And most of them will never be seen. Your videos are a good completion of your art, it shows all the effort. And will also be a good way to show why the price of the object the price it is ;-)
Beautiful work! Question: the long support rails under the top had dovetailed ends, and you splined them... was this correcting an error, or was it intentional? If it was intentional, why? I am very curious.
How did u fill the gaps after filling the sliding dovetail gap. There were two gaps on either side. Sneaky hehe that u left that detail offtbe camera. But loved the build and footage.
This is truly inspirational work, thank you so much for sharing! A hint for the “why would you make dovetails no one can see?” crowd: I have an English translation of Soetsu Yanagi’s The Unknown Craftsmen and for over a decade have been puzzled/inspired by it. Highly recommended!
wish I'd seen this two days ago before cutting 18" wide sliding dovetails for dividers on a sideboard. Never seen anyone notch out sliding dovetails rather than tapering them, it definitely looks to create less room for error and much easier assembly.
Beautiful work. But the table top and the sliding dovetail supports have the grain running in perpendicular directions. Isn't that a problem of different expansion when moisture level changes ? Edit - OK, I see you only put glue in the center.
Thanks. We use sliding dovetail when wood expansion way is different. This joint allow wood's moving on both side by moisture . So, I applied glue only middle part. hope you understand.
Hi 👋, beautiful work, well done, not sure whether I would’ve glued the sliding duct and the underside of the Top, As this will not allow for expansion of contraction, and where you have stopped the dovetail ends it might have been worth putting a contrast in wood in to highlight the joint, great looking table, I wish you all the success for the New Year, and hopefully see you some more beautiful work, Phil from the moulin,
Hi 👋 yes you are right, but my nearly 50 years experience of making high-end furniture joinery et cetera I wouldn’t not of glued it at all, He had a very good joint, so I don’t think it needed glue to hold it in place , he is truly craftsman, working, mainly with his hands, 🙌
I used full size sliding dovetail before. But now I prefer to use this video way. Because I can apply glue only middle part. And it is better for wood expandation with construction.
Very interesting how a normal sliding dovetail was modified to allow the trestle to be inserted straight down and then slid a very short distance (~2" in this case) to secure it. That joint would be a great way to create a stopped sliding dovetail that is stopped at both ends. But in this case, the slot goes all the way to the edge and was filled at 6:31. What was the reason for cutting such a complex joint in this case? Why not leave the sliding dovetail unmodified and slide the trestle the whole way, from the edge of the top?
There is few reasons. 1. You can apply glue to the center of the apron. This has the advantage of contraction and expansion occurring around the center point 2. you can hide dovetail groove mark on the side( but I leave them as a design details) 3. easy insert (I can insert only 4 cm) . but there is too much work for this sliding dovetail, The decision of what to choose is up to makers.
You didnt need to cut the groove from the side of the table top, it could have easely stayed hidden if you started the groove 2 cm from the end of the table. That was the whole point of this kind of sliding dovetail, but thank you for giving us a good ideas every time.
@@kobeomsukfurniture5420 You could make a basic straight sliding dovetail. I believe this one took more work, that in the end is not visible. And that is a shame. Especially in this case, where its desired for the groove to be visible. Or is there any other benefit of doing this type of teeth other than hiding the dovetail on the edge? But as a furniture maker i get the point of doing something like this just for the pleasure from doing it as a piece of handcraft. I mean this comment as a constructive criticism, i like your work and attention for details.
@@michalsruta8145 actually basic dovetail have to apply glue one side for wood expansion, but my way can apply glue middle side. It is big advantage. Hope you understand.
I am glad to hear that you have found this book to be very informative and helpful for your woodworking project th-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO It sounds like you are well prepared and confident to build furniture for your house. I commend you and your friend for your enthusiasm and willingness to learn new things from this book. I hope you enjoy your woodworking journey and create some beautiful pieces.
All that work is to ensure the top can handle wood movement with the seasons. Notice that he only glued the center section. That center part of the table will remain fixed to the rail beneath while all the wood that wasn't glued can slide on the dovetails as the moisture in the air changes throughout each year. There are other ways to achieve the same results, but he's done it with an all-wood joint -- no metal used in joining the table top to the base.
@@supportuser2840i’m seeing that he glued them in place and there is also a plug for the groove that is also glued down in long grain orientation. Maybe we’re watching different videos

Such an elegant design. I love the idea of "castellating" the male dovetail so that you don't need to drive it in all the way - brilliant.

@@mayoropl1 also, so much work for nothing. then he glues it all?! I dont get it. also you can see tear out on some of the tails.
There is woodworking, and there is art.
This is decidedly both.
Thanks
It is always a pleasure to see your videos, happy New Year 2024
Thanks
Very nice table. I really enjoy seeing these types of joints and techniques. I learn something every time. Thank you for sharing these.
Thank you very much!
Enjoy watching your beautiful work.

Another gorgeous project. Your work is so elegant and your videos are incredibly relaxing and cathartic!

Love your joints and design simplicity. I've been following your beautiful work for some years now. One day I hope to commission something from you.
Many thanks
Stunning work. The dovetail joint was very clever

stunning art table. i am as usual getting inspiration from you Kobeomsuk. Thanks for filming such kind of production. Well done my friend.
Thank you very much!
Very nice, thank you for showing us.

love that work 👍 but can you make your next video longer please :)
Thanks, will make longer video.

Awesome table though
looks dangerous. right, will be careful ~ Thanks.

Phil from the moulin,
I think it was only glued in the middle, so expansion and contraction can still occur. I could be wrong.

I’m curious why dowels or dominos were not the best first choice. That is a lot of work for dovetails no one will ever see.
All that work is to ensure the top can handle wood movement with the seasons. Notice that he only glued the center section. That center part of the table will remain fixed to the rail beneath while all the wood that wasn't glued can slide on the dovetails as the moisture in the air changes throughout each year.

Because there is a huge difference between IKEA and craftsmanship.
@supportuser2840 very good answer, thanks for answering instead of me.
Dovetails? Really?
We are talking about craftsmanship and art here.
Dovetails have their reasoning, but not here.
