Pedestal Dining Table (DVD)

Pedestal Dining Table (DVD)

The perfect balance of strength and elegance. Now you can build a modern, central-column table that's made for every day. Woodworker Timothy Rousseau's pedestal dining table offers a unique approach beyond the traditional leg and apron table design. Made of walnut and featuring a central column joined together using a combination of lap joints and traditional mortise-and-tenon joints, this table is easily built using basic woodworking tools.

Smooth lines, sturdy build. Rousseau's pedestal dining table features a graceful top that sports gently curved sides. Inviting to the touch and pleasing to the eye, this table will be a family treasure for years to come.

This intermediate-level project includes a bonus digital plan and covers key areas for the build.

Topics include:

• Cutting half-lapped joinery
• Shaping curves and tapers
• Mortise-and-tenon joinery
• Smoothing with hand and power tools
• Systemic glue-ups
• Designing a strong yet elegant pedestal
