My wife and bought a house a few years ago and the previous owner left their dining set for us to use. It served us well, but my we wanted a new look for the dining room.
This was my first project using solid wood for everything. Also my first project of any significant scale using solid wood. Being that I am a new home owner and relatively new to the hobby, I don't have a lot of tools. I live in NYC, so naturally I have a very small space. The garage shop is about 18'x8.5'. But beggers cannot be choosers and I am happy to have a space at all to work.
It took me six months of spare nights and weekends. Longest project by far. The table is made of flat sawn 8/4 Red Oak. It is 102" Long x 42" Wide. I used a combination of wedged mortise and tenons, dovetails and dominos for all of the joinery.
