I hope I didn’t screw up my table…I wanted to reach out for advice before before I continue. Sorry for the long detailed explanation but I wanted to share all the details.
Please let me know how you think I should proceed and what I should do different in the future.
I started a 8/4 Cherry table and I have (6) 6”x60” boards glued up. I am adding breadboards to the table.
I put a domino in the middle of each board, glued them in place, so I have 6 domino tenons glued in place.
This is my first breadboard, and I’m wondering if I made a mistake by not having an odd number of domino tenons. I know to glue the middle tenon, but I what should I do if I already made six?
Do I glue the middle two domino tenons?
Or
Do I glue just one of the two middle domino tenons?
I know that I only add glue to the top and the bottom of the dowel for the outer tenons.
I drilled the hole in the tenons 1/16-1/32 towards the table to pull the breadboard in tight.
On my breadboard, I did the two center tenons on tight and the outer four on loose.
I also created an elongated hole on the outer tenons and a single hole for two center domino tenons.
Do I create two single holes for the middle tenons since I have six?
In the future, do dominos need to be inserted into the middle of each board?
I think this is what I missed when watching videos.
I think I covered all the breadboard details. I’m about 2 years into my woodworking hobby and I really enjoy it. So much to learn and I learn by watching videos and doing it myself…
