What happens here

Breadboard ends are attached using floating tenon joinery for stability and to prevent warping. A Festool Domino jointer is used to cut precise mortises (slots) into the ends of the main tabletop and corresponding mortises into the edges of the breadboard end pieces. This tool allows for consistent and strong joints without visible fasteners. The Domino jointer is set to an appropriate depth, such as 10mm, and multiple mortises are cut along the length of the joinery surfaces.

Goal: Prepare the tabletop and breadboard ends for floating tenon joinery

Tools and materials

Dust Extractor — To collect wood dust during the cutting process

and accomplish the exact same maneuver this is just way faster now it's time to create an important part of the tabletop are the breadboard ends the breadboard is kind of work in a couple of different reasons number one aesthetically appealing endcaps but more than that they're made for to prevent the table from warping and allow for wood movement so the approach that I'm taking here is a mortise and tenon approach I'm using my Festool Domino to create these through mortises all on the breadboard end and the tabletop ends
