Hand made chestnut and walnut dining room table. No power tools - only hand tools. Electricity is overrated!

Wow that turned out pretty nice! My Dad used to do stuff like that with no screws. He built me changing table when I was born using only wooden pegs. Its still in the bathroom 25 years later lol He ended up helping restore old wooden covered bridges here in Ohio before he had to switch to welding to keep a job. I'm trying to do a bit of this stuff when I can find the time.

@Ballowall

Sounds like you've got the genes to do this kind of work. Were you lucky enough to have some of his tools?

I see now what you are talking about. That interlocking design will hold forever. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the advice. I have 2 daughters and no doubt someday they will want one of their own.

Very nice job! I can really appreciate how much work it is to take rough sawn to finished stock, I've done the same thing myself a time or two. The only potential flaw I see in your design is all the short grain in the tenons of the diagonal braces, but based on your dancing it doesn't look like it will be a problem. I've used biscuits before, and with your breadboard ends you could have simply plowed a groove, but I appreciate your fastidiousness. Again, nice job!

I loved the video. I can just see the ship being pulled to the Ocean by horses and men 1000 years ago vs. by a tractor. Thanks for sharing.
