Making an Extending Dining Table with Butterfly Leaf
Building a butterfly leaf extension table doesn't have to be hard, well, it was hard, but it doesn't have to be hard anymore because I figured it out and am sharing the process of how I did it in this video. Despite all the unforced errors and complicated geometry this table came together and works flawlessly.

    • @keatonbeyerwoodworking
      @keatonbeyerwoodworking 6 днів тому

      I hear you. I glazed over that part. The important part was getting the slides parallel. I marked the center based on the center of the cog, then I lined that up with the split in the table and used spacers to set the slides away from the aprons which I knew were parallel and secured the slides to the table top.

      Thanks! The slides, pins, and hinges were all from Rockler. I had to look around to find one that would work for this table and Rockler was the only place that had them that I could find. I think Lee Valley had some too if you're in Canada.

    Did you use any clamps to hold the leafs together while dining? That can help pull the joint tight and erase the gap.

    • @keatonbeyerwoodworking
      @keatonbeyerwoodworking 9 днів тому

      I had them but I realized there was no room under the table. The leaf took up the space and blocked your ability to reach there and lock/unlock them so I had to omit them. It definitely would have helped but the table does stay together pretty solidly without the locks. If I would have left off the under bevel I could have widened the base and made room for the locks but I didn't want to lose that part of the design.

  • @DanSvoboda-hg5mm
    @DanSvoboda-hg5mm 9 днів тому

    thank you for the demo. hand tools for certain aspects of the job is how i work. personally, i would have done more that way. i HATE dust. like Jim Kingshott said, "Machines are noisy, dusty, and they'll 'ave your fingers off in a twinkle." one additional comment. it's a matter of taste, and maybe also economics/wood conservation. my parents' dining table was tinted solid maple, mass manufactured but of high quality. the wood was oriented opposite; crosswise. i can't help but seeing it the other way bothers me. not a criticism, just an alternative view.

    • @keatonbeyerwoodworking
      @keatonbeyerwoodworking 9 днів тому

      There are some things power tools make sense for in a small one man shop. I read an article a while ago where someone equated power tools to apprentices. Back in the day we had cheap labor, and we taught those people how to do the technical parts but also had them do the ripping and flattening. Now we have power saws and planers for that to save our energy. I still use a lot of power tools but there are plenty of times hand tools make more sense and the more you use them the more often they make sense. I hear you on the board orientation. It's a matter of preference. I think having the boards run the length of the table looks better, but mostly it has to do with material use. Mass manufacturing will run them across the width because it's a more efficient use of material and therefore cheaper to produce tables that way.

    Using sawdust would have made it less noticeable but only if the staining was uniform.

    • @keatonbeyerwoodworking
      @keatonbeyerwoodworking 14 днів тому

      I find adding sawdust darkens the glue line making it stand out a bit more. I went for a tight fit over sawdust filler to help keep that dark line away. The patch does stand out because of natural variation in the color of the wood. Despite it being from the same board it was off from here to a few feet away which is pretty typical for walnut, that variation gives the wood it's beauty and character.

      Totally, and you can joint boards wider than you could with a jointer anyway. I run 8+ inch wide boards with the sled all the time.

  • @keving8682
    @keving8682 16 днів тому

    Great idea! Thanks! Another way to help eliminate snipe is to flip your jointer sled upside down (assuming that face is also flat - ie remove the hot glue) after face jointing the first side and then run the boards through again with the melamine to face joint the other side. Avoids having to readjust the height when doing the other side.
