Re: My first table top
Looks pretty good. What joinery did you use?
All I lack is finishing up.

Re: My first table top
I used biscuits to join the boards and for the bread boards, I cut one long mortise and tenon. I didn't glue it just drilled some holes and used dowel pins.

Re: My first table top
Looks really good, Jeff. The breadboard ends look nice and tight. Now that you've taken the plunge, what's next?
BillI'll gladly tell you how I do something. Just please don't confuse that with the right way to do it, and almost certainly not the only way..gif "Drogar BigGrin(DBG)")

One thing to keep in mind with breadboard ends is to allow for expansion and contraction of the main part of the table. Many times this is done by using slotted holes.
