How to build, make a Dining table, By Jon Peters. Part 3 Building the table top

just a question. Why did you not put the clips on the inside off the table-base? This way the clips would not show at all. beautiful table by the way!!!

@waldodesteghe Thanks, good question I think I wanted more support on the outer edges of the table top

It is very poor practice to wear gloves while operating power tools. If the glove touches the blade the entire hand will be pulled into it.

[jonpeters1000]

@dergrossedonjuan OK, I try not to touch blade

This turned out incredible. Thanks for sharing these videos, I may just be inspired enough to try to make our own dining table sometime in the future. :)

@wishingbee Thanks, glad you liked it

[jonpeters1000]

yes

[dukestt]

you didnt show it in the video, but did you alternate the boards in the top?

[mirakles305]

did he say 5/4" thick? huh?

[someweirdguy101]

@mirakles305 Yes. 1 and 1/4 inch thick. Lumber thickness is often referred to in "quarters." If the thickness is greater than an inch, an improper fraction is required. :)

@mirakles305 Yes. 5/4 lumber is 1 and 1/4 inch thick. Lumber thickness is often referred to in "quarters." If the thickness is greater than an inch, an improper fraction is required.

You put together a very helpful video. All of the tips and tricks are appreciated. The finished table also looks quite nice.

that would work, but I would finish sand the top with a palm sander, 120 - 150 grit

I'm going to build my daughter a dining table. My brother in law lays hardwood floors and has a floor sander. He told me that once I have the table glued up, he can samd it flat with his floor sander. What do you think?
