Avoid Table Saw Tearout
Often a normal cut results in a tearout at the bottom of the cut. If you make a reverse seering cut before the main cut, you can avoid this problem.
Modified Box Joint Jig
My innovation on the old box joint jig. Instead of indexing fingers off the previous finger, this jig uses gearing and a screw to precisely position the wood for each cut on the saw.

Part 5: Measuring Table Legs
The typical table measures 30 inches tall but the leg length also depends on the thickness of the table top. So don't cut the leg at 30 inches but measure the thickness of the top and subtract it from 30, which in this example is 28 7/8th. (the table top is 1 and 1/8th inches thick)

Part 2 of 22: Building a Table
With these apron pieces, Michael does not go end to end but he suggests that the apron piece just fits inside the line. Take a pencil and mark both sides, and this expert says you can use the calculations or do it by sight. The measurements and how to do it are in the video.
Great tip: With any project, if you break it into small bite sized steps and just work on that step, you will find it easier than thinking about all the future steps that need to be done.
Woodworking Plans for Tables
Walking Table - Legs Move Like Legs
This is a cool idea although wheels would accomplish the same thing. On the other hand, any creativity like this is good and I can see how the table might be more stable than a table with wheels.
Amazing Fletcher Capstan Folding Table
Another round table that is ingenious, pushing it like a merry go round will spin it into a small or larger round table so you could have a few people sit there or many. I wonder how much something like this would cost or if it could be made at home (if you had the blueprint)
Collapsable Round Table
An amazing round table that expands from a four seat table to a eight person table in a matter of minutes.
I have no idea how to make something like this or where to find the plans but maybe an inventive woodworker could make something similar.
Kreg Tool Jig
This is a commercial but if you are looking for a jig, the Kreg Tool jig might be a good choice. I personally have not used one myself by it looks good to me.
Whatever tools you use, you will need some plans such as those from Woodworking 4 Home.com

Suggestions for Woodworking Projects

How To Sharpen Your Joiner & Plainer Knives
This video will show you how to sharpen your knives. This smart guy has created his own home made jig.
He attached a blade that needed sharpening to the beveled end and adjusts the angle until he get the angle he wants. Then he sands away until he got the right sharpness saving him trips to places that sharpen his tools and money too.

Table Saw Alignment Jig
Here's a quick and accurate method to align your table saw blade and jointer fence to 90 degrees. You could use a square measurement but this woodworker recommends using a home made jig and a dial indicator piece as in this video.
The jig is just two pieces of wood glued together for good height, two screws to brace the jig and a dial indicator on top. If the indicator reads zero, your table saw is aligned correctly but if it is off (above zero), this method will be more accurate than eyeballing it.
How To Come Up With New Project Ideas
Another way to come up with great ideas is to use the search engines but instead of using Google, use Google images and the engine will show hundreds of pictures of things you could make out of wood.
The choices are unlimited and you can combine the thousands of plans at this site with the original designs you find online.This video tip has been very helpful for me to choose topics and find new projects to work on.
How To Make A Japanese Screen For Your Living/Dining Room
First they measure and cut the frames. A mitre saw gives a fairly clean cut but sanding with sandpaper is required to smooth off the rough edges. Don't take too much off or you will end up with a sloppy joint. Using a corner clamp to join the pieces at 45 degree angles.
Then they make two more frames for a total of three. Once the glue is dry, they sand the corners. They stain everything with a black Japan stain for a traditional look. Also stain the 6 mm oak Tasmanian beading.
Small holes are scored to bond with 6mm x 6mm molding. The 6mm beading can easily be cut with a stanley knife but cutting all four face sides and snapping it. Use glue to hold them into place.
Then they cut the screen but place glue on the string where they cut so the string does not unravel. Run a bead of glue around the frame edge's 6mm beading. Then they put the beadings on top and place three ribs across the screen.
Repeat the whole process twice on the other two screens and when the glue dries,you can screw the three frames together with brass hinges.
This screen will look good behind your dining table project if you want to create a Japanese theme, all you need is to choose the size and pick some measurements.
Woodworking 4 Home Plans Review
Another video review about Woodworking 4 Home, a 14,000 plan guide all in one, which I totally agree with. There are some great instruction videos, available only to customers as a bonus, but the main product is thousands of plans all downloadable to store on your computer and print as you need them. You can see the sales page at this link here.
2 X 4 Furniture Plans & Table Legs
Ana White, author of Knock-Off Wood, shows how to add spacer to her table legs in this video.
She adds some spacers with a nail gun and some glue. Just don't let the spacer split like if you hit a knot with a nail. Her method looks like it creates nice tight seams.

Bottom Line..
This book is great because it has so much information in it. More than any one person could do. It would take years to get through a fraction of the woodworking projects in this manual.
And if you are very experienced you will love the detail in each plan. There are no missing steps here.

The people who will benefit the most are those who like to work with wood as often as they can so if you are not going to be a regular woodworker, you might consider something else.
