Thanksgiving I need to build a table
I've been milling up this lumber I'm
just gonna put them together then the
legs are gonna be just like a little
wall so it'll be a little wall here a
little wall here table going across the
top cake
this is a trestle table instead of four
legs you just kind of have two little
walls one at each end then to keep those
from wobbling you put the trestle in
between when it all comes together
that'd be pretty cool so start with the
legs I'm gonna get the glues together
this isn't just normal Elmer's glue here
this is a two-part epoxy much stronger
this is gonna be pretty rustic not real
finally finished it's pretty simple I
think kind of like you'd expect for a
floating homestead rough and tumble
let's have everybody over for
Thanksgiving table legs next we still
got to build the trestle you cut it to
length and then cut two Tenon's in the
end of it what we're doing here is this
is all gonna go away and this inch and a
half piece is gonna slide into a hole in
the leg of the table and give that table
structural integrity that we're looking
for for Thanksgiving dinner we've got
all those curve cups made and now you
chisel off the excess wood take me down
to chisel town like that just gonna make
a hole then we're gonna start making
those mortises holes in the legs of the
table that trestle it's gonna go through
there wiggle wiggle back and forth oh
it's perfect
we've almost got it done it's kind of
down to making sure everything's in the
right place snug oh yeah we don't want
you to have to try to move this by your
lonesome so we'll pick this up and get
it on there and then you can just let it
finish out care and clam sauce it'll be
where it needs to be and medium can get
home before it gets dark this is gonna
be historical in our family legend you
know the time we went out and found dad
on his floating homestead and he showed
us how to build an old mortise and tenon
table
family working together and creating a
family heirloom for me that's really
kind of special to bring up Thanksgiving
pass me some more mashed potatoes please
