Thanks. Yes it turned out gorgeous. And it makes me really happy to confirm that such a minimalist no-base table design is surprisingly extremely stable and sturdy. I'll be applying this idea in the coffee table and my other future custom furniture projects
wow, I didn't expect this. you really need to watch this video to see the genius of how the top is attached to the legs, and there is no base or apron whatsoever! in my humble opinion this design beats the Japanese joinery. you can't even see the sliding dovetail entry for the stretcher. I believe you pioneered this design mate, I have never seen a table based on such design.
Thank you! This design is really unique and it gave me a sense of accomplishment when all the parts were assembled and the table is indeed very strong despite there is no base like in most of the tables out there. I was inspired by Ishitani from Japan who makes similar sliding dovetail stretchers but my stretchers are slid in before the top glue up hence you can't see the entry point. It results in "impossible" joinery if you don't know how it was put together. I'll use this method in my coffee table as well
Great job! you should have a lot of more subscribers! Clarification, the four legs are glued to the table top and only 2 ends of the dovetailed stretchers are glued while the other two end are floating to allow for movement?
Well done job, beautiful table and very interesting design 👍

thank you!
2 corners are glued, 2 are not glued, to allow the top to shrink and expand when the seasons change.
