Flushing up joints after glue-up.

Assembled, glued, wedged, clamped!

I taped off all of the joints and prefinished the interior surfaces. Finally ready to glue things up!

To disassemble the table, I needed a mechanism to simultaneously pull the 2 upper and 2 lower top planks from the dovetailed end assemblies.  All 4 planks need to be removed in perfect synchrony to avoid racking and damaging the structure.

Using a brace to tap holes into the underside of the top. I find a little paste wax on the tap helps in cutting clean crisp threads. The tapped holes will be used when disassembling the table (more detail to come). I have found tapped holes in hard

Number punches are great for identifying mating parts!

The top planks for the table are attached to the ends with loose tenons and Festool knock-down connectors. The Festool connectors are extremely robust and simple to use.

I set the end assemblies aside for a moment to mill and glue up the 4 planks for the center of the table.
