Reclaimed Wood Table

Step 3 Join the Table Together

I used my Domino to cut mortises in the pieces and then glued them together with tenons in place. There are 28 mortises in the table. I imagine you could get by with less, but I was a little nervous about this falling apart.

Could you attach the wood using brackets?

I like the project! My wife has been saying we need a new kitch table and I have a bunch of old wood. I'm surprised at how many people still go with wood glue. I'm sure it works adequately but I'm a big believer in Gorilla Glue. I do all my woodwork with it and it's crazy strong stuff.

Not only a Festool saw but a saw, guide, workbench, AND a Domino. Now I *know* you could have bought a jointer - lol.

Ah yes, it's a matter of space! All of the Festool tools easily break down and can be stored (which is handy in NYC). This is why I don't have stuff like a drill press or table saw. Someday I'll have a nice workshop in the country!

You could have jointed the edges of the boards with a hand plane. You can pick up #7s or #8's relativly easy at flea markets. Just be sure that you remove all the nails.
