Butler's Table (S02E03)

Norm travels to Kingscote, a stunning Gothic Revival mansion located in Newport, Rhode Island, to explore a mahogany butler's table featuring four drop leaves secured by robust brass hinges. In his demonstration of crafting a similar piece, Norm showcases the biscuit joinery technique for assembling the tray boards, creates mortise-and-tenon joints to attach the base rails, employs a molding head cutter on his table saw to enhance the rails with a decorative bead, and explains the process of installing the unique hinges for the tray.
