Coffee Table build

I've made some progress on the coffee table. I am glad I kept all my jigs and templates from the last time I made this table; it is saving me a lot of time. My next task was to mill all the rough pieces down to final dimension to get them ready. Here I am sawing the 12/4 pieces down to make the aprons, which are 3/4.

Here all the apron pieces are roughed out and now just need to be planed to thickness.

I also cut the leg blanks to size and planed them to final thickness, which is 2.75" square.

So, I will let those pieces sit overnight and then begin to cut the cabriole legs next time.

  2. Nice blog and a really nice shop! I'll bookmark your blog. I made my lathe from scratch and find it hard to stop gouging the wood no matter how sharp the tools are, then I have to sand a lot to get rid of the marks. Any suggestions?

    Thanks,
