Making An Oak Table With Breadboards

I was lucky enough to be able to make this oak table with breadboard ends for a buddy of mine. I think it turned out great.

“Rather than use math, I just threw tools at the problem”. 😂 That’s my kind of problem solving right there lol. I’ve done it more than I care to admit.

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

Glad I’m not the only one. Math is for schmucks and smart people.

Beautiful! Any videos on that router flattening process? I don't think I've ever seen that before and I'm wondering where the pitfalls are. Why use a sled if that works??

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

Thanks! Well, every router sled needs something flat to reference. In this case, the bulk portion of the table was flat enough to reference. No videos on the process but I just chucked a 2 inch flattening bit in, then screwed the router to a piece of plywood with a hole cut on the edge.

[@jeffreyjbyron]

@@TheWoodenHobbyist What do you reference to begin? Do you just find the flattest part of the table and go from there? Seems like no matter what you'd either star or end with a section than can't be routed this way, but maybe I'm not entirely understanding the geometry of it. Appreciate the reply and great video. I'm a fan!

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

@@jeffreyjbyron so the linear panel was flattened before hand (not shown in video) and I set the flattening bit just barely touch the surface. I don’t know if I would consider it flattening the breadboards as much as I would consider it “bringing them to thickness” The ultimate goal was the bring the breadboards flush with the main, linear panel.

[@jeffreyjbyron]

@@TheWoodenHobbyist I see. I'm trying to figure out ways to flatten giant redwood slabs (we have many in northern CA) that don't require a HUGE sled. With your method, I believe if I was able to get a portion of the table flattened with a sled, I could finish it without needing to build anything new.

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

@jeffreyjbyron that’s awesome! Yeah I guess it could really work if you create a small reference point / strip and move on from there! Good stuff!
