Indestructible walnut dining table.

If you were to ask me what my favorite dining table is that I’ve ever built, it would be this beautiful
round trestle table! Round tables like this have so much character, and the pedestal base adds
interest and intrigue to any space. The walnut that I used actually needed to dry for two years before
I was able to use it! The wait was well worth it...the color and grain of the wood added to the
fantastic trestle table design. Let me know what you think!

Wow, thanks! That's extremely kind of you, Brady! So glad to hear my videos are helpful for you. More on the way!

[@jsoliman85]

Love the (classic) video! How do you deal with squeeze out when using epoxy? I'm always nervous to use it for glue ups because it's so messy, even with the benefit of more open time

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

For epoxy squeeze out, I wipe the excess with acetone. Nowadays, I use TotalBoat THIXO which is a 2-part thickened epoxy which is much easier to control how much of a mess you make because it doesn't run all over the place. It comes in a tube, like caulk, and uses a mixing tip to combine the 2 parts as it comes out of the tube. I swear by that stuff. Gives you about 30-35 minutes of open time.

[@Richie-o]

Great work, Keith! What kind of angle plate and setup blocks do you use / recommend?

Thanks man! Those are Woodpeckers Tools. I use the setup blocks every day - probably my most used layout tools.

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

Thanks man! Unfortunately, I don’t have anything more detailed than what’s in this video

[@cwaysoftware]

Nice video as always. Does not salt work to stop sliding? I saw this tip and it seams easy and does not leave any dowels to keep track of.

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

Thanks! Salt has never worked for me. And it can inhibit glue from drying if too much is used.

[@k.mustafa5455]

Awesome vid man! Do you happen to have a build video or plans for that flattening sled you used in the beginning? That's probably about that largest I could manage in my current shop, so im definitely interested in building my own

[@richter0157]

To stop boards from sliding when glued, sprinkle some sand. Pins provide better alignment however

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

Never had any luck with sand or salt.

[@mainly_kayla701]

Did you do anything to make sure there weren’t any bugs and if so what did you do just curious cause I like to buy green sometimes and I got to some pretty crazy measure to heat it up seeing other options

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

I monitored it closely for two years in my basement and there were no sawdust piles or any signs of bugs. It should be pretty evident once a tree is milled up, if there’s a bug problem.

[@ApexWoodworks]

Thanks for sharing the build with us. Perhaps you'll consider chamfering the edges of the tabletop and framing, as they tend to need it.

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

Thanks for watching! Unfortunately, I’m not much of a chamfer guy in that situation.

[@jds604]

Um where the eff in CT did you find that?! I’m guessing Eastern CT since you clearly had to cross the long wharf

Question: you out put in those C channels and I see other table builder do this also. But I have always wondered if the C channel is superior to putting in a sliding dovetail board. I get the C channel is easier but I don't think that easier is your style. Thanks in advance! It is a great looking table

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

The C-Channel is actually more work and more money to do, but also less noticeable than multiple sliding dovetail boards would be.

@@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking no worries. Looks like more views of this video by me.

[@daviddejulio863]

I always love how we always say "don't forget to check for square" haha. As a newer woodworker if it wasn't square at that point all I would know to do is curse haha. What are some mediation tricks if you come to that point and you're not square or are you just screwed?

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

In this case, I could cut a slightly larger groove and put in an angled wedge to get it back to square when I did the dry fit. However, I would have checked that my miter gauge was square to my blade after I made my first test cut before I cut all the joinery.

[@daviddejulio863]

I appreciated you showing how you worked around the limited open time with wood glue. Do you have any experience with Titebond Extend and it's open time compared to epoxy or hide glue? I bought your Modern Wood Academy course and I am actually looking to avoid using hide glue in that project, would epoxy or Titebond Extend be good alternatives?

[@seankelly6884]

Also absolutely beautiful work, the table looks amazing!

[@KeithJohnsonCustomWoodworking]

Hey Sean! Thanks so much for purchasing my course! That's awesome. Personally, I don't find Titebond Extend to give that much more open time compared to Titebond 1, 2 or 3. It's only a matter of a couple of minutes. Whereas hide glue (Old Brown Glue) and Epoxy will give you an extra half an hour (or more) to work through your glue-ups. They also don't have water in them, so it won't swell the joints which can sometimes make assembly much more difficult. Hope this helps!
