Learn with us on this mom & son teaching project. This is no ordinary farmhouse table! In this table, all the through tenons are wedged and draw bored. All other tenons are draw bored. Building this table with few tools requires innovative thinking at times, and in some cases, making our own tools.

Lookin great!👍👍 Joining long boards like that can be a pain.

Thanks! I found it rather pleasurable. And I still do the final joining by hand even if I use a power jointer. I get much better, smoother, and more refined results this way.
