Modern Walnut Coffee Table

[@fathogwoodworking]

Those sliding dove tails look a great idea. Loved the build but also your video style. Great work all round.

[@keatonbeyerwoodworking]

Thanks! It worked out pretty well, definitely a technique I'll use again, and I appreciate the feedback on the video!

Knowing when "Not To Act" can be more important than knowing "When To Act"

[@keatonbeyerwoodworking]

Definitely agree. That's the "Do nothing" part of it

[@FoukeMonsterWorkshop]

I've never seen a captured sliding dovetail like that, great implementation for tabletop joinery!

[@keatonbeyerwoodworking]

I like that it's completely hidden but with the benefits of a dovetail rather than just a mortise which still needs screws to keep it in place. It's worth a try, pretty easy to do with a template and the right router bits!

Well done Keaton!

[@keatonbeyerwoodworking]

Thank you Greg! Glad to see you out in the comments!

Sliding dovetails might be a plan for my next table I like how it locks it all in.

[@keatonbeyerwoodworking]

I definitely recommend it. Good luck with your next project!

Great job it turned out beautiful

[@keatonbeyerwoodworking]

Thanks Jim!

looks great love the walnut. Your dust collection needs work though LOL been there bro

[@keatonbeyerwoodworking]

Yeah, that little dust collector I have clogs up so fast and doesn't have a ton of power. Small footprint but definitely on my list of tools to upgrade

[@NineRingsWoodCraft]

Beautiful table! I love the idea of using the sliding dovetails as the way to assemble the tabletop. I might have to try that for my next coffee table. Nice fix on the leg gaps as well.

[@keatonbeyerwoodworking]

Thanks! I didn't highlight the leg fix well but after finish I had a hard time picking them out. The sliding dovetail assembly method is totally worth a try. That table ended up super solid. No movement or wobble at all. Helps using all 8/4 walnut too!
