Turned out great, awesome work! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Thank you Fred!
Nice table
Really fantastic job, dude! Beautifully done! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks a ton! You do the same 👍
Nice project!
Nice job.
Thank you!
Very nice!
Another Q! Could you explain the cleat and how it allowed the top to move with just the 2 screw holes?
“Just tap it in”. - Happy Gilmore Liked and subscribed. Just found you browsing UA-cam. Should help your click through rate.
Hello, I don’t get why you correctly allow for expansion by glueing just the central mortice but then put pins in the next ones... moreover when you trim the edges after that wouldn’t it led to misalignment of the long edges once the center expands and the two ends not, due to grain direction? Thanks. Btw the table looks beautiful...
Cedar is actually a very stable wood species and it doesn't expand and contract very much at all. My table has gone through 2 summers now and hasn't really moved noticeable at all. I'm very happy with it 👍
Have you heard of the shrinkulator? It is an online wood shrinkage calculator for most species. A Google search will find it for you. It will tell you how much cedar changes dimensions in relation to moisture content. Cedar is made of wood, it expands and contracts. According to the shrinkulator, a 24" piece of cedar will expand and contract .18" from 10 to 14% for flat grain wood. Outdoor wood mc swings could be much greater than that. A greater mc change will create a larger expansion. Are you concerned that over time, the seasonal movement will work to tear it apart. That would be a shame. It's a nice table. I would be proud of it if I built it. I recently had a similar project glueing cedar. Part way through I read on wood web that titebond doesn't recommend their product for cedar without additional preparation. The glue bottle says wood glue and cedar is wood so I feel that is some misleading advertising. Apparently, when you contact them, titebond says 25% failure. I went back and added mechanical fasteners wherever I had a cedar glue joint and am crossing my fingers. I have made cedar screen doors and glued with tb2 and tb3. I have seen the one from 7 or8 yrs ago still holding but I don't know about the one from almost 30 yrs ago. Have you had any problems with your cedar joints using titebond? How much does the main glued together part of the top grow and/or shrink in relation to the breadboard ends?
Also, are dominos rot resistant? And epoxy for the finish with spar varnish? How well has that held up on the top? Has the spar varnish gotten all crinkly? Has it protected the soft cedar top from incidental dents and scratches adequately? With the dominos only extending an inch or so into the breadboard end , has the breadboard end curled or rolled after 2 years? Is it out in the weather 24/7 ?
I am working on 2 dining table benches that will be 18” high x 6’ long x 14”deep. I am torn as to whether or not I need to put breadboard ends on the 14” width. The seat top will be 1” thick heart pine (dry) glued from 4” rips. What is your opinion of the need for the breadboard approach. I will likely put cross grain ends on for looks but am not sure about needing the expansion compensation.
Any help you could be, would be appreciated.
Mike
Note to self. Add domino rig to wish list.
i need a jointer
And a joiner
How long and wide is your table?
This is great, and really clean looking! It's nice to see some real joinery on outdoor furniture. Lots of pocket holes out there in the wild for these types of things. Excellent explanation too!
Can you build me a table for my kitchen?
I appreciated you jointing technique - lesson learned thanks!
I did it with the Woodglut plans.
I will try to do it with woodglut plans.
Big fan and subscriber - you are a great teacher. My only question for this build is about water pooling on the surface of the table... any concerns? Thanks for the video.
Water will pool on the surface for sure. With that said my table lives under a pergola now and so it's not exposed to direct downpours. A slatted top is a good option but it's also a more involved procedure to build.
I learned something new today thank you AMIGO...VERY PROFFESSIONAL..
Works.
I would've never thought of that glue up trick. Thank you for sharing! Awesome piece
Sweet table! I think the next time I build outdoor furniture I'll do something very similar. Nice work! Love cedar.
Thanks Shaun!
Super great video..I picked up a few pointers that will be applied to many projects..love the CA tip!
Awesome! Glad you learned something new. The CA glue is a nice hack.
Wonderful job....🙂 now do you have a video for someone like me, who wants to build a coffee table, but has only the simplest tools??🤔🤔😂😂😂
Awesumo! Gonna combine with Rad DD Builds Cedar Bench💪😀
Could you please share the dimension of all the components? It would be of great help!
I did that! I have a set of plans for sale that gives exactly that 🤗
@@MWAWoodworks could you please tell us what is the price?
This was awesome! Thanks for the idea. I think this may be the next build for me-self mate!
So cool! Thanks 👍
Good job.👍
What's the name of that machine which is used for making holes
and the liquid for wood filler?
Great video. Ima gonna make this table, only smaller, like an end table.
Good idea
Nice job. Simple and looks great.
Great video and thanks for the cool idea! Will be building one of these soon for our patio!
Love it!
Finally, a proper breadboard build on UA-cam. Thank you!
Don't let the haters know 🤫
MWA Woodworks - Yea I bet you get a few of those. “You didn’t do it right” they’ll say. I say Clever!
There's always more than one way to do something
Great job indeed, liked the idea with ca glue. Stealing 😉
I'm really sure you can build it yourself. I did this 2 weeks ago thanks to the woodglut plans.
Wood glut is a known scam and has been for over a decade now. No way this comment is legit.
Looks great! The dominoes make quick work of the entire assembly.
Yeah they make assembly a breeze
MWA Woodworks I think that’s the first time I’ve seen them used for a breadboard end. Definitely going to try that.
Best video!! Awesome video love the bread board look..
Great looking table and thanks for the tips!
Thanks and you're welcome 😁
Excellent piece just subscribed love when plans are available
Plain and simple, great build!
Just the way I like it 👍
Great tip on jointing them. Great video!!
Muito bem feita, parabéns. Fortaleza, Brasil.
Wow, that looks absolutely incredible. Hats off to you, sir.
I like the look of this.
Thank you sir!
great table i have just built it and was just wondering if a couple of coats of your beeswax-mineral oil concoction would be enough to protect it. i live in ireland with more rain than sunshine. any tips ??
No the beeswax finish is only for kitchen utensils. You should not put that on a table.
That came out great!
Looks really nice!!
Excellent jointing tip!
It's so BEAUTIFUL!
Great job!
Awesome! What would happen if you don't fill the knots etc with the CA glue? Could one skip this step?
Over time water getting into all those voids will rot the wood from the inside out
@@MWAWoodworks cheers thank you!
New sub from the UK, nice work my man 👏
You're a true gentleman
I've learned that I need more tools
This is a lifelong problem, I've found.
Only about $5k worth for this project.
Omg, too much talking.
Use the mute button then.
Awesome work brother. Thanks for passing on the knowledge. Means a lot.
