The bevel lies in the details: Sofa Table IV - Derek Cohen - 06-19-2017 Quote:Earlier posts on the Sofa Table build may be found here: RE: The bevel lies in the details: Sofa Table IV - Derek Cohen - 06-19-2017 I decided to use my new Domino DF500 to cut 5mm slots that were placed 4mm below the surface, and then use 5mm dominos as buttons ... All done! Finally, to the glue up, and ... Here is a side view of the legs, showing the taper (and the continuous bow) .. This is the inside of the table, with the drawer blades ... And, lastly, a shot of the front elevation at this stage ... Next, building the drawer. Regards from Perth Derek RE: The bevel lies in the details: Sofa Table IV - hbmcc - 06-19-2017 Hi, Derek. You are building finishing a table, and I am still depositing sheared branches into our veg. disposal bin.... from one forsythia. The last photo-- I know it is an illusion, or camera distortion, but even when tapered long-legged tables always appear to toe-in. The side view is ok. For me, there is a nagging need to build in a 1 to 2 degree splay in the whole leg, along with the tapers. Or, to ad stretchers or shelf near the base. Depending on the top overhang, the continuous curve in the base frame might be missed. The bevels (chamfers) look good. They will soften the shadow line. Anxious to see the top! So hurry!

[see above] RE: The bevel lies in the details: Sofa Table IV - BillMcD - 06-20-2017 The view from the side looks like an antelope, deer, giraffe or other fast-running, long-limbed animal. It has life to it and looks like if you spook it, it'll bound off and out of sight in a few quick leaps. It's hard to make things look that lively. Nice design and great execution. Between the Domino buttons and the table top, do you fill the gap with washers, a glued on shim, something else? Or do you just screw them in until tight enough without binding them with downward/upward force? This is a clever use of that insidious tool. I want to copy the idea but am not sure how you complete the assembly. Thanks. RE: The bevel lies in the details: Sofa Table IV - Derek Cohen - 06-20-2017 Hi Bill Thanks for the kind words. Regarding the domini buttons, I plan to add a couple of washers as a shim, with just enough length to create a little spring to pull the top down. Regards from Perth Derek RE: The bevel lies in the details: Sofa Table IV - TomFromStLouis - 06-22-2017 This is coming along nicely, as expected. The real benefit of such a detailed build thread is the focusing of attention on details as the title suggests. And your design sense of adding subtle curves is a great lesson for us all. The Domino button idea is pretty slick I must admit. I do not see anything to keep the drawer from tilting once pulled half way out, that is, no rails above the sides. I see this often enough and wonder why a piece with this much thought and care would ignore such a refinement. No penalty Derek, but I presume you have thought about this?

The Domino buttons, which you like, double to prevent the drawer tilting. Re-read my post above. I did not comment on it, so it was not obvious. The drawer will fit immediately below the Domino buttons. The drawer will be about 2/3 the length of the aprons (to have extension), so there are enough buttons to ensure that it will not tilt as it is pulled out.

But with a cavity that long, you could terminate the drawer proper some distance forward of the end of the sides, and minimize the tilt-up. I have also seen you do tapered/chamfered ends of the side. In all, a cool way to achieve the bare bones 'skeleton' look. Neat. Thanks for sharing and stimulating crispy brain structure. |
