Trestle Table

Post by mbcabinetmaker »

I just finished building this table and bench and thought I would post some pictures before I forget how. Its made of white ash. Sorry the pictures are not that great.

Very cool! Nice work! Are those diamond(square) dowels going through the mortise and tenon to hold the bread board ends on? Or an inlay?

Outstanding! Did you use any of your Shopsmith equipment to build this or was it made using the other tools in your stable?

Square pegs on a 45 degree angle to hold the bread board ends.

ShopSmith was used to dado the bread board ends and drill a lot of holes for screws that are hidden. I also used the strip sander a good bit.

Turned at 45* or a 45* down angle, if so why. I turn mine 45* most of the time.

Turned only for visual effect.
