Farmhouse Table - Video 2

[Jwade19990]

Our woodworking club has started our first big project.  We are working on a farmhouse table made out of QSWO.  Here is a short video showing the ripping of the top planks with the TS75.  I have the panther blade installed and it cut the 8/4 oak beautifully.  I then used the Kapex to cut to length. 

Ill try to give some update videos throughout the build, but we are going very slowly haha. 

Let me know if I can answer any questions.

Thanks Scott. I'm not sure why it didn't work. My first time trying to link to a video.

What does it mean QSWO [scratch chin] ?

What does it mean QSWO [scratch chin] ?

It's the type of sawing/cut and the type of tree:
Quarter-sawn White Oak.

that is some very nice lumber  [tongue]

 

[Jwade19990]

Ya it's quarter sawn white oak. The grain on the top planks looks real pretty. I'm excited to get some finish on them.

so cal club,? where in so cal?

Nice.  How are you joining the planks?

Quick question for you. Why was your ts 75 making so much dust? Even with the splinter guard mine collects I would say 96% or more with my turbo II. Also did you buy that white oak locally. I am building a white oak bed frame and am having difficulty finding 8/4 white oak that is decently priced for the posts.

I think I can answer that. He is using a foil faced insulation board under the cut which is creating the fine dust. I just can't identify the language in the first clip. Martian maybe? MARK

I'm not sure why so much dust. It may be from the insulation underneath.  I bought the wood from a local place called Swanner Hardwoods. They are some family friends and don't generally deal to the public I don't think.

I plan on joining the top planks with some 2 inch dowels using the dowelmax...I still haven't sprung for a Domino.

Our woodworking club is basically about 7 guys from the Santa Clarita / San Fernando Valley area.  We've been meeting once a month for about a year now. It's fun to have a group of friends to share the hobby with.

Thanks for posting. I've booked marked this thread in hopes that you keep posting videos as the project progresses.

I didn't know that they had chipmunks in SoCal. Being Bi Lingual is a valuable asset in today's complex world

 

[Jwade19990]

Drilled 150 holes for the 75 two inch dowels using the Dowel max. I do love how precise they are, however it took me several hours. With the Domino I would have been done in less than half that time I am guessing. How many Domino's would you usually use across 6 feet for a panel glue up?

Long grain glue ups don't need any dowels or dominos unless you want to use them simply for alignment.  They offer zero additional strength to a long grain glue up.

 

[Jwade19990]

Ya I guess that's true. I definitely did want them to aid in alignment and have less sanding to get the joints flat at the end of the glue up.

Sorry I didn't completely answer your question.

Dominos are VERY fast.  I do use them for alignment.  For 6 feet it would depend on how straight the wood was.  For nice straight wood I'd put them every 18-24 inches.  Of coarse it's totally up to you since you don't have to put in any if you don't want to.  They do make glue ups faster and more accurate with reduced sanding although they don't make glue ups perfect.
