Sliding dovetail & Double tenon and Mortise (feat. 3400 floating top table) 

❤

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.

@@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.

Thanks

감사합니다

looks dangerous. right, will be careful ~ Thanks.

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

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.

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.

Thanks

?? I inserted wood peace. You can see on video.

Thanks

Many thanks

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.

Yes you are right. Thanks. But I don't want to hide my hard work job ^^;

@@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.

​@@kobeomsukfurniture5420 can you please explain more about how you applied the glue here? Thank you VERY much!

@@kobeomsukfurniture5420 Yes, so the board expands evenly from the midle.

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.

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.

@@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
