Great video, I’ve also tried researching making relief cuts for this purpose online and haven’t found much, but this video has given me the confidence to go ahead and have a crack at it! Thanks!
Great job with the C channel install explanation 👍
Thanks 👍
How well does your finish hold up for a table top?
Any rings from glasses?
Any issues with warm plates?
@@retiredwithwood6586 Its ok. I put four coats on this one, most ever. Two held up okay, I think 4 will be stronger. Will let you know
Great job! Did you get the C channel on Amazon? Interesting explanation about how to prevent cupping by ripping the slots. I make a lot of tables and will give this a try as well as your finish mix.
I got the c channel feom concept 13. There is a link in the description 👍
@@GaraWoodWoodworking Thanks. What is the advance the C channel vs a straight slotted bar mortised to the underside of the table? Thanks again.
@@jayonasch1553C channels are stronger, they better prevent the wood from bending since they themselves are very good at not bending.
A straight piece of metal will help, but it will be more likely to bend instead, the shape of c channels means they stay very straight and won’t budge, meaning the table they are attached to (hopefully) won’t either! I have always used them and they work great!
@@jayonasch1553 A straight bar has less horizontal rigidity. The "C" shape creates and "I-beam" like structure.
