The RIGHT Way To Make A Farmhouse Table || With Dowels
In this woodworking tutorial video I'm going to be showing you the RIGHT way to make a farmhouse table top with dowels and saving money on lumber by reusing most of the original wood. When building a breadboard table top the first time, I learned a lot from my mistakes so now I want to install the breadboard ends the right way. When woodworking, dowels can allow for expansion and contraction with the changes in temperature and humidity. This is the first time I'm using Odie's oil with a pigment for wood color. In the end I saved lots of money on lumber by using the reclaimed wood. Plus it was really cool to restore this beautiful table.
I'll be removing the old top and cutting it apart, cleaning up the old wood, cutting it to size, doing all the glue ups, cutting down the frame and then sanding and finishing the top.
You'll learn how to build a breadboard table top, how to properly make breadboard ends using dowels, how to build a farmhouse table and you'll learn a little about wood expansion and contraction with changes in humidity and temperature.
With this technique you don't need a Festool domino. just a simple doweling jig.
