Building a Shaker Walnut Dining Table

Video Description

Feel free to enable closed captioning for step by step build details, or leave them off to enjoy an ASMR building experience! I have a comprehensive, detailed set of plans for this table for sale on my Etsy page here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1420396329/ Shaker inspired furniture is timeless and classic. I recently designed and built this table out of solid walnut, employing both sliding dovetail and drawbore mortise and tenon joinery. I used a hybrid combination of power tools and hand tools for this build. I designed this table myself based on a classic shaker style, with tapered legs and a bevel on the underside of the top overhang to give the table a lighter, airier feel. The primary wood is black walnut, while for a secondary wood I used poplar. The top is held to the frame with clips that allow for seasonal expansion and contraction of the solid wood top. The aprons are joined to the legs with drawbore mortise and tenon joinery. There is a central poplar cross member which is held in place with a sliding dovetail joint. The table is 72" x 36" with a table-top height of 29" off of the floor. Thanks for watching.
