Few questions. If I'm making around a 2 and a half food diameter round table would I need a 'skirt ' for it? If I wanted to attach a pedestal type base directly to the round top what would be the best way to do that?
There are a few options for attachment without a skirt. The easiest would be to use a plywood or solid wood mounting plate that would connect the 2 together. If height is a concern, a metal mounting plate could work as well!
Excellent video about attaching skirts to a tabletop. Allows for expansion and contraction of the table. Top without causing additional stress on the wood material. The video is clear step-by-step instructions with emphasis on safety were one may need to be careful.😊😊😊
Learned nothing here I did not already know. Not sure why you even bothered because you did not even show an illustration of the cutting sequence you talked about. Just saying.
Hi! With proper installation, those two options aren't necessary. When attached into a stud, the metal bracket provides great support and stays secure.
Engineered wood is not something we use in our shop, however, the company you source your boards from should be able to answer that question. Thanks for watching!
Are equalizer slides trickier to install than the plain slides? I'm replacing a warped equalizer with one made of maple and I'm losing my mind getting it to work for a butterfly leaf table. BEAUTIFUL TABLE!
The installation process for equalizer slides is similar to standard slides, but does require some more thought when mounting your center pedestal. Let us know if you have any questions during your install!
I THINK I NEEED DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS ON REPLACING A 24" EQUALIZER WITH A 28" EQUALIZER FOR A PEDESTAL TABLE WITH A BUTTERFLY LEAF. CAN'T SEEM TO GET IT TO WORK CORRECTLY.

Hi Matthew! The 6" tapered leg in the video is in Knotty Alder, so it will have knots naturally. We offer the same leg in many different wood species depending on your preference. If you are wanting something clear, you can browse the available wood species on the product page! Thanks for watching!
Great question! Waste is repurposed in a number of different ways. In this video, we are talking about waste that occurs at the sawmill when the lumber is cut. Quarter and Rift sawn lumber will use less of the log than Plain sawn, creating waste that will be repurposed for other materials.
Exactly what I needed to build a custom leaf for my table that incorporates a TV for some cool options for board game night! I was expecting glue to be involved but I'm glad I looked it up first! Thanks! Great video. Short simple and easy to follow!
Just what I was looking for, but I wish you would have gone through how you decided how big of a notch you needed to router away. And by the way your shop is way too clean :)
Thanks for watching! For the notch on the back of the frame, it depends on the size of the acrylic (length & width) and the overall thickness of your acrylic+photo+backing. Hope this helps!
Hey what did you use to finish that? I really like it. I am doing birch floating shelves. The wood is beautiful. But I didn’t want to stain. I am using birch 3/4 plywood. Was thinking about just using a water based poly on them
This finish is Watco Danish Oil in a natural color tone. It is very easy to apply. Just make sure the danish oil is completely cured before adding any clear coats. Hope this helps!
Hey there, what happens if I do the male on the headboard/footboard, and the female on the rail? I just spent far too long chiseling out the female and now im worried I cant go back... Do I have to mill up a new siderail, or can I work with this? Its for a king bed.
Glad we could help! After predrilling your pilot hole, we find it best to take 2 threaded nuts and screw them onto the bolt to lock them together. Then you can simply tighten down the top nut and screw the bolt down as far as desired. We will be creating a full tutorial for this process soon and will be sure to reference your comment! Thank you!
Just a few comments on installing alignment pins. The most important prerequisite to drilling is making sure layout lines on adjoining pieces are absolutely sharp and accurate. Making sure that your dowel jig is aligned accurately and that the jig itself is accurate. Test your jig and drilling process on two sacrificial pieces of matched stock to confirm accuracy. After drilling, I like to use a countersink bit to create a slight chamfer allowing the pins to set in just a little bit deeper so I never have to worry about the possibility of pins protruding. I also place a very small amount of Epoxy adhesive into each hole so as never to fear that the hardware will pull out of the matched pieces of stock
Take a look into the classical orders for the proper fluting. The fillets and flutes are in the wrong proportion, almost opposite of what they should be.
Love this! I'm currently making a similar table. Question about the slides. Since you screwed them directly into the table top, will that cause issues with seasonal movement? I saw you gave them a little play so it's still able to close up tight even if it shrinks, but I'm concerned about the slides constricting the movement with them being screwed straight in. Is there enough play in the slides pilot holes to allow for seasonal movement?
