What happens here

After preparing the joinery, the table's main components (top and side uprights) are brought together. Wood glue is applied to all mating surfaces and joinery elements (like Domino tenons or dowels), and the pieces are carefully aligned and clamped securely to form the basic table frame. Once the glue has set, a trim router (a Ryobi trim router is visible) is used to round over all exposed edges of the table, creating a smooth, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing profile.

Goal: The main table structure is assembled using glue and clamps, and then the exposed edges are rounded over with a router for a softer, finished look.
