Coop, I think it looks good. I think it appears light because of the 3 & 4 boards from the left. They appear lighter, plus they draw the eye more. Not sure how you will finish, and I’m by no means a great finisher, but maybe you could do a very light wash coat with some tinted shellac or something and maybe it will add a little darkness to the color.

Coop, good work! Can you give a little insight on the jig, just not seeing how you use.
-
Looking good Coop! Hope all the medical procedures are behind you now!
-
It’s either $100 or a very nice bottle or 2 of an adult beverage!

I agree Coop’s idea is good, but when I think of BB ends, I expect to see a pinned joint with a dowel. Now since it’s not my table you can do what you want, either way it should look good.

If they are deep gouges, the epoxy May add a bit more strength than just wood glue or filler. Since you live on the sun you may not get much moisture from the MDF, but I would put some stickers or 2x4’s underneath for air flow, but also some support for the portions hanging off the MDF.
-
On the deeper parts you might want to mix sawdust and epoxy, cause your table may become thin belt sanding it even. The other option is grab some chain and beat the hell out of it, that’s what some call rustic!
-
Those are a nice quick project! Nicely executed! I was very surprised to see you using the disc sander with no DC.

If you were building this table to go in your house, I would be more concerned about hitting that number. Since this is going outdoors you shouldn’t really need to worry about it dropping that extra %. Being outside I’m sure the table will fluctuate more than 1% throughout the seasons.

I have never seen it done with dowels, that’s why I’m not sure it would work. You may need extra, but you bring up a really good point about pinning them. However I have to think if you drilled carefully and with a small enough bit as to not drill the dowel in half it might work. Could be an interesting experiment.
-
3-4” would be fine, if you wanted to go 5” fine but that starts to be a PITA doing that much chisel work. I am not sure how thick your top is going to be, but I always wondered if you could use dowels, if no domino xl for the BB ends. In the middle you do a 3/8 dowel into a 3/8” hole. Then on the outside you do a little larger hole (1/2” or 5/8”). If this actually worked, then you could do a larger BB end, cause you should be able to find a bit that could drill deep enough and not have the chiseling of the mortise.
-
Ci think 23” would be tippy. If you take your 40” and did 6” as a maximum overhang on both sides that would leave you at 28”.

Best Fathers Day gift this year, my lawn mower started on the first pull!
-
Looking really sharp Coop!
-
Looks good Coop!
-
The Domino is a great tool, I just never got along with it. I eventually sold it and really don’t miss having it.
-
Wow the beard at the beginning, made you look like grandpappy or Santa
-
Great job!
-
To measure stuff! 😂 I just couldn’t resist!
-
Now there is a description that should be in the manual.
-
Turned out fantastic!
-
Just use pallet wood, most people wouldn’t know the difference, then you can sit back watch that extra profit add up!
-
Could have been a good resaw test for the new bandsaw
-
I have never used a quilt so obviously never had a need to build a rack. I’m guessing a couple on a rack could get heavy, but 8/4 seems too stout. I would think 5/4 would be enough, but then again, I have no clue.

That sounds like my drives from college back home. Once you have seen 6 hours of cornfields, you learn it’s a better drive at night.
