Super build and thanks for the extensive informative blog. Very nice work and a very useful piece of furniture.Breadboard Ends and Tusk Tenons
Here is my cherry refreshment table which will feature a single drawer and breadboard ends.

I started by making breadboard mortises at the router table. The mortises are 1-1/4" deep and cut in multiple shallow passes.

-
-
-
-
I used a 1/4" spiral bit to center a 3/8" groove in the breadboard ends. I made an initial pass in the standard right to left direction. Then I flipped the board end for end and made a pass from left to right to avoid a climb cut.

I set up my tablesaw with a dado blade and tall auxillary fence, and cut the tenons for the breadboards. On large tables I use a router, but this small table top was pretty easy to manage on the tablesaw.

A few swipes with a block plane helped with final fitting.

I dry fit the breadboard end and mortised for three square pegs. Next I elongated the outer holes with a plunge router and edge guide.

Then I chamfered the ends of the breadboard and tapped it in place. I am careful to glue only the center section of the breadboard, to allow for wood movement.

Looks wonderful Willie. I like the way you left the breadboard ends proud of the edges. By summer they should be even with the rest of the top. Very neat, nice work all around.

Are you concerned at all with the long, single tenon into the breadboard? I understand that it's liable to break off under pressure.

Thanks for commenting. The tenon is 3/8" thick and 1-1/4" long so it's not going anywhere. For my dining tables I use a 2" deep series of divided tenons. This little table is only 13" wide, so the extra strength wasn't needed.
Thanks

Then I chamfered the ends of the breadboard and tapped it in place. I am careful to glue only the center section of the breadboard, to allow for wood movement.

Walnut pegs are driven in to secure the breadboard.

The breadboard ends are slightly thicker than the top, which gives a nice reveal.

The upper rail is attached with a lapped dovetail. See my desk blog for my router technique for cutting lapped dovetails… http://lumberjocks.com/pintodeluxe/blog/38791
All other joinery is mortise and tenon.

The lower rail is held in place with tusk tenons, which add some detail to an otherwise plain table.

I built the small single drawer with half blind dovetails at all four corners.

I installed a 9" full extension undermount drawer slide. I use a hardwood shim between the drawer bottom and the slide. I plane the shim to fine tune the fit of the drawer in its opening.

Willie, that's a great build, with pictures and all. I have never thought of using a drawer slide on the bottom of the drawer. Good to be thinking outside the drawer.Drawer and Hardware

The finish is a shellac washcoat as a pre-stain conditioner (3 parts denatured alcohol to 2 parts shellac seal coat), Varathane Dark Walnut stain, and lacquer as the topcoat.
Thanks
