Table leaves and pins

[@davidp9291]

Everything from the two jigs to the dowel used to spread the glue is incredibly useful. Many thanks for sharing your skillset with us.

Excellent job and so wonderful to see quality woodworking demonstrated.!!

[@timothyryan5629]

Great video, very well explain and you got right to the point, what a concept. I'm currently making a table out 60 year old true 2"x 6"s. It will be 42"x 80" plus two 18" leaves. I will definitely be using your method for the pin holes. Thanks!

That wsa super super helpful! I learned so many things watching this! I'm a little less intimidated now!

[@maryjanedavidson2804]

This was amazing to watch!

Thank you for the nice comment!

Thanks for sharing. Didn't know there were actual pins designed for the job. I will use them to update an oak table getting a couple of new leaves

[@joleary4349]

Thanks for the instructions. I have an antique farmhouse table that Only has one remaining leaf. I’m going to use your method to build the other 5.

Hi Drew, we are comfortable with wood working but not so much with filming.
Thanks for the kind comment!

@@furniturestudio1 Keep at it! I promise you will get better as time goes on.

How does one create the holes for the round Table Leaf Locks?

Very interesting method

[@johnhansey]

Tried many ways over the years this one has proven to work really well.

[@virtualinfluencer]

Hey John, do you do any custom work? Beautiful work there going.

[@johnhansey]

We have been supporting ourselves with custom work since 1977. It all started with a coffee table....

[@virtualinfluencer]

@@johnhansey Cool man. Let me know you can take on some and I will send info on what I need done.

[@scottcash5973]

Hello John, I am making 2 leaves for a table that already has several. How did you go about making the template? Yours looks close to what I have, the holes are lower in the top. But is there a standard spacing?

[@furniturestudio1]

Hi Scott,
Use "dowel marking points" (amazon) in existing female holes.
Then make jig (see video).
Tap jig onto transfer marking points.
Next bore jig on drill press.
Then test jig by placing over existing male table pins.
Enjoy your project!
John

[@rickmackinnon653]

What is the purpose of needing to indicate a male and female side on the jig. I understand the need to indicate on the leaf to get the reaming in the correct side.

[@pattheop5146]

I was wondering this too, but I imagine if the hole spacing on the jig isn't 100% symmetrical, marking the M/F sides helps you keep the holes aligned across all the leaves.

[@brendahaynes3064]

So how do you make the runners(?) that extend the table?

[@brendahaynes3064]

I have a dining room table with one leaf. I would like to add several leaves to make it longer. Mine has metal extension supports.

[@furniturestudio1]

We bought the guides from Osborne wood products.

[@masoodusaf]

Where do you live, I need a leaf

[@johnhansey]

Thank you for the question, Ask a local woodworker, he will need to fit a new leaf to your existing table precisely.
