Happy New Year!
This is the second installment of the Round Table with a Glass Top. In the first part I got all the parts drawn. In this second part, I’ll add the joinery. I admit I haven’t the slightest idea how the original version of this table was made way back in the early 1910’s. I don’t know what I was doing back then but apparently I wasn’t paying attention to how furniture was being built in Hungary. Since this is a my modern interpretation of the table, I figure I can stick the pieces together as I like. I thought about the sort of tools I have in my shop and the processes available and let those be my guide. If you were building this table, you might choose other joinery methods. Let your shop methods inform your decisions when modeling in SketchUp.
I used a single plugin in this video, called Joint Push/Pull Interactive. If you haven’t already got it, make sure you also get LibFredo6 joint Push/Pull won’t work without it.

Thank you !

Thank you, Jean-Franco.
I forgot to do one important step toward the end of the video. Can you figure out what it is? :) I'll do that at the beginning of part 3.

apparently you didn't create the mortises in the bottom of the legs after you create the tenons.
Correct ?
That's it. I remade the video after deciding to change a procedure to something easier. Then forgot the mortise in the leg. Sheesh!
Hi Dave,
Thanks your modeling has really helped my modeling.
I particularly liked your explanation of when to introduce layers and doing housekeeping to tidy up model. Have you ever covered setting up keyboard shortcuts?
Have a great day,
John
Sorry Dave,
I should have looked before asking for your info on shortcuts.
I just found it!
(https://www.finewoodworking.com/item/108348/working-efficiently-shortcuts) I willread it and will use it to work more efficiently.
Thanks for sharing your hard work.
John
John, I'm happy to know I've helped you out. Also, I'm glad you found the post on keyboard shortcuts.

Hi Dave
Excellent video, of course. I was going to mention you forgot the lower leg mortise but I see it has been pointed out a few times LOL
At least you know folks are paying attention to detail.
