Making the Draw-Leaf Table (circa. 2009)

Revisiting a project completed before I starting posting more regular videos on KZbin. This was a commissioned piece and designed to suit the client's brief. They wanted something simpler than other forms of expanding table and it was also my first attempt at this traditional design.
I apologise for the poor quality of these images but I hope to do more videos like this (albeit, with better photos) so, please let me know what you think of this style.

Very nice. Nice work 👍

[@OllyParryJones]

Thank you!

[@CosmasBauer]

Very nice table! The joinery is quite nicely involved! Love the choice of wood also.

[@OllyParryJones]

Cosmas Bauer Thank you, Cosmas. I used to work with English oak a lot, as you'll soon see. When I get my next workshop, I'd like to make another one like this so I can show how it works more clearly.

Fantastic job Olly ! great workmanship ! Cheers , Bram

[@OllyParryJones]

Thank you, Bram. I'm hoping to have a similar video uploaded soon. ;-)

Nicely done! How did you determine the angle of taper of the runners?

[@OllyParryJones]

Thank you! There's a method of determining it that involves drawing it out to scale and marking the two points on that drawing (or rod) where the same point on the runners starts and ends; then joining those marks with a straight line. Not easy to explain in a KZbin comment but I hope that makes some sense.

[@s.spiegel3032]

@@OllyParryJones Yeah, I figured, the question is not easy to answer. But I understood. I already suspected an answer along the lines of that. THX for taking the time to answer my question

[@rogerios.demedeiros9053]

Muito boa ideia. Belo trabalho, Parabéns!

[@OllyParryJones]

Rogério S.de Medeiros Thank you and thank you for watching. :-)

[@jeremywong9207]

Any chance you have plans for this project? Willing to pay for it

[@fabioklasener3013]

Muito bom trabalho, tem as medidas da parte de baixo do tampo, estou fazendo uma igual mas não está dando certo a parte das madeiras

[@strumscrubs]

I'm working on a table like this right now and I'm having a hard time figuring out how to dimension the wedge and channel on the apron. Any tips?

[@OllyParryJones]

This may not make much sense but I would draw it out as a side elevation. Draw one leaf in its lower position and also in the upper. Pick one corner of that leaf and draw a line connecting to the same corner on the same leaf but in the other position... That should show you the angle. I hope that makes sense.

will you share the plans please
