Drop-Leaf Table 4 of 4 - Assembling the Round Drop-Leaf Mid-Century Inspired Table

In this 4-part series, I will show you how I build a round drop-leaf table. The table is mid-century inspired with a beveled top and tapered legs. The first two videos show how I build the top and the last two videos focus on the base.
Part 4 is putting together the top and the base, covering up mistakes, and finishing.

[@Demosthenes75]

Gorgeously done!! Thank you for sharing~

[@Indigobasil]

Thank you for showing all of your techniques. That table looks so tactile- like I really want to run my hand over all those slopes and curves. Very nice

[@R4venshore]

Great work. Really love the homey, amateur feel of the videos, makes it a lot easier to relate to :)

[@john09871234567]

Awesome job! Looks beautiful! Excellent work.

[@gactve2110]

[@edgarshoe]

That's a great-looking table! ✌️

[@Exsig12]

Great looking piece! Love the humor 😊

[@brooklynant2047]

Expertly done! You’re a pro!

[@johnlysic6727]

Very beautiful table! Thank You for these excellent videos. Your solutions to these complex problems are fascinating and yet the way you present them makes it seem so easy to you. Definitely inspires me to start thinking about trying this.

I really enjoyed this series. Loved the fact you showed your errors as that is how we learn the best. Nothing fancy either, just tools we would probably already have at home! Going to start my table this werk... mine is square so much eaiser!

[@xuebingyang9626]

Excellent job!

[@marbetu5394]

truly beautiful

[@gtpatricio370]

beautiful table. Great job.

Love this! It reminds me of when I'm doing a project. Making mistakes, figuring it out, and not being too hard on myself! I'm trying to make a drop leaf table with reclaimed 1 3/4" cherry and having trouble finding hinges for the leaf. I'm going over this video time and again to see if you did an angled cut on your leaf/tabletop to get a more attractive union with the leaf down so you are able to use a 90 degree hinge. Can you tell me what the thickness of your tabletop is and what degree of angle you used? I have only 1 shot at cutting if I don't want to waste $150 in beautiful reclaimed wood 🙃 Thanks in advance!

[@myhoneyshandmade1077]

Great one

[@howardappel3596]

Hope to see many more.

[@anisaysoknoitwell60]

Awesome

[@ferrariunicorn]

Had to stop 6 seconds in ‘so ready to be done with this table’ same 😂 that was me yesterday w/ a table I re-made without knowing what I’m doing & 0 research 😆 also why I’m on KZbin today looking into how to add a drop leaf & sliding bar to it, even though I’m done, bc I’m a glutton for punishment 😬 I’m so excited to watch your video!!

[@ferrariunicorn]

Prayed for a clean cut in one go 💀 felt that Immediately try to mend it… Just kidding 🤣 Bob Ross? Killing Me ☠️ Civilized? Too High? Stop Killing Me I wanna Live 😅 Your table is perfect.. I love it.. Thank you for sharing & teaching 🥲😊😘

[@chibanyc25]

The hot tub brought me here. Nancy, Nice!

[@Toob41]

A masterclass!

[@helenm6732]

I want one.

[@aidanblakistone9073]

badass, build a bedframe next?

[@nope2075]

Do you have an etsy shop? I would love to buy a table like that.

[@fishheadlemonsnack824]

Beautiful job! I like the design, your straightforward explication, voice and the generic model you employed - to show the piece at work. However, his chair sucked. I hope you will make chairs next! :)

[@fjelstednord3159]

How did you address the issue of the dropleaf section being slightly smaller than the main portion of the table due to the missing wood from the kerf cut? I've found that it's easier to cut your dropleaf out/off when the top is still square then cut out the circle. This results in both the dropleaf and the tabletop being the same when the hinges are installed. Just curious.

[@momostayzanko2078]

You will git a lot of follower gradually ... Just be patient

[@laverneh2030]

Please tell me how that short piece of wood held both sides up?

[@brightnuertey1451]

👍🌺🛫

[@BeckyEmbers]

Now some chairs!

[@MrPither999]

The whole purpose of using pocket hole screws is to hide the mechanism of attachment. Those boards with the pocket holes should have been placed inside the box.

[@jewdd1989]

I love your table but am soooo disappointed that you stained naturally, perfect wood like the maple and African mahogany you’d chosen 🤦🏻‍♀️ might as well have used pine or spruce if you were going to ruin the wood like that. Anyways I like your concepts minus that hideous stain and the round overs turned out nice... it’s fun watching someone use the same learn as you go process that I use. We learn best that way... future pieces pls don’t stain and especially gel, of all stain varieties gel is the absolute worst and ruins every wood imaginable except for fake, processed junk like mdf. Gel really is a nasty paint and removes the natural quality of wood, it’s super thick and leaves the most obvious bad stain job one could do to an innocent piece of wood

[@NatashaMafra]

Gosh, just because you don't like gel stains doesn't mean it takes the value of the wood away! Stop crapping over her work. You sound like those people that will die if someone say they want to paint (not stain) over their old oak kitchen cabinets. 🤦 She probably stained it because she liked the wood with that stain color better.
