What happens here

After the breadboard ends are securely attached and the glue has dried, any excess wood or slight misalignment on the ends is trimmed flush using a circular saw, specifically a DeWalt model. Following this, the edges of the tabletop are routed using a Ryobi brand router to create a decorative profile, such as a chamfer or round-over, softening the sharp edges and enhancing the table's aesthetic appeal.

Goal: Finish the tabletop's edges and profile

Tools and materials

  • Circular Saw DeWalt — To trim the ends of the tabletop flush after breadboard attachment
  • Router Bit — To cut the desired edge profile
  • Router Ryobi — To create a decorative edge profile on the tabletop
