Just finished making castle joint table. I would suggest only cutting the castle 1/3 of the width, so if you just sand a 4 x 4 (3-1/2 x 3-1/2) then mill the 2' x4' s(1-1/2" x 3-1/2") aprons to be 1"x 3" and the legs will be just under 3-1/2'. This width will add strength to the joint and its a great looking proportion to the base. My 1st one I made the legs too thin and the joints too wide, so I'm just trying to save others from making the same mistake. Keep up the good work, your instructions are easy to listen to.
As of lately, if I ever use 4x material, I’ll plane it down exactly 3” and do exactly what you just commented. This video was my first time ever making this joint so I’ve definitely learned a few things since then lol thanks for the feedback though! I’m always happy to hear suggestions. I’d love to see the table you made too.
Do the joints need to be glued? I want to use this for a pool table frame. So I want it to be and easy to disassemble table
I think you've found a good balance in this video for voiceover vs "live". New mic sounding good too.
Thanks for the feedback 👍🏼 I love hearing what you all think of the videos. Thank you
Congrats 👏👏👏 Could you write the dimensions of the materials used in this project?
Hey what was the wood species you used, how long did the project take from start to finish and how much did the table go for?
You don't have to say but I ask because I'm looking to make and sell furniture so I can get out of my 9-5 gig.
Since my client didn't have the budget for a nice hardwood, I made this out of construction grade lumber. I don't like telling people the price my clients pay but if you want to talk about how I price all projects feel free to DM on Instagram! @ ZukoBuilds
It's huge so, whatever. Haha. Alright, so what is the point of cutting the round edges off of the 4x4s at the beginning just to add rounded edges back to it at the end? That's a sincere question. I'm always out in the shop building something but haven't mastered everything yet. So If there is a secret there, I'd like to know. Thanks for the vid.
Sorry for the late reply! I've been slammed. I cut the round edges off to cut the joints as accurately as possible and to bring them down to exactly 3x3".
@@zukobuilds4469 Ah gotcha. Thank you. Glad to hear you've been slammed. That means bills are paid.
@@billbill5900 Hopefully you’re getting some work too!
Think he was making everything square. Those fence posts are not perfect and your measurements will be off. I didn't square mine and I had trouble fitting everything together
Consider the **factual nature** of any (wood) material structural joinery;
[ steel, or other structures apply too]
Mortices with 90 deg. corner cuts are weaker than those cut with radius's.
90 deg corners have stress concentrations, it is a fact of engineering material study.
[ feel free to look it up]
Using radius corners in ALL mortices, is a structurally superior approach.

Sorry to be a 'party pooper'...
I’m always interested in learning about something I’ve never heard of. Is there a video link to show me more? I don’t quite know what you mean by radius corners for a joint like this. Thanks in advance!
@@zukobuilds4469 This is a simple and principle fact of structural engineering; sharp corners within material shapes are stress concentration points (look-up on internet ... to confirm) ... mortises with old-traditional 90-degree cuts have 90-degree shapes... and the weaker stress concertation 90--deg. points... vs., radiuses AVOID those vulnerabilities.
Radiuses spread-out the, otherwise sharp stress points of the sharp corner.
These are freshman - level mechanical engineering principles... from any decent engineering school. Please research to your hearts content!
Please be patient with this... this is not a controversial topic... just simple & basic structural material- strength issues.
Simple, maybe small radiuses in mortise & tenon joinery are a certain 'must' for anything I intend to build and use.
No politics involved here... promise!
@@styner3001 So if I round the corners on the inside of the joint it'll be more structurally sound? This is helpful though. I have no background in engineering so thank you.
@@zukobuilds4469 Yes!... sharp corners are stress concentration points. This is easy to look up via a search engine... sort of 'low-hanging fruit'... or you can likely find a UA-cam video explaining it. Once you see it, it will be rock-solid, makes sense thing.
I have some super-serious wood projects in my near future... all mortises & tenons will have radius corners [**no** sharp 90-deg. cuts].
Radius Corners??? Sorry, Can't find one video using this technique of yours, I guess you are right and all these woodworkers with decades of experience are wrong. Castle Joints are a superior method of joints when making a table. THere are many type of joints, but I can't find one reference to this Radius joint of yours.
I'll be using castle joints for my table, It is more than enough for a dining room table. THank you Zuko, great video
