Yep....Grandson says he wants a Coffee Table for his house....by Christmas..of course...
Road Trip....picked a bit of Ash...
[attachment=14872]
A few 1 x 6s, and a 2 x 4...long one is 10'...2x4 is 8'..
[attachment=14873]
and a pair of 6' 1 x 6s
Somehow managed to haul that long 1 x 6 to the shop.....crosscuts to get near 40"...
[attachment=14874]
By the time I trimmed things to square at both ends...these were down to 36-3/8" long....looking like it will be about 16" wide...
need to get these ready for glue up....as these will be the top of the Coffee table...
[attachment=14875]
Might as well get the big guys out...
[attachment=14876]
Used both the Stanley No. 8..and..
[attachment=14877]
The Stanley No. 7c...to get all the edges looking like this...
[attachment=14878]
Got all the mating edges done...time for glue, clamps and cauls..
[attachment=14879]
Not sure IF this is the "Show" side, or..
[attachment=14880]
This one....let this sit overnight...tomorrow I can haul that 2 x 4 to the shop...need 4 leg blanks 17" long....then taper those on two faces..
Have plans for the remainder of that 2 x 4....new jaws for the vise...as the old ones are just plain worn out...Ash might be better than the Pine in use, now....
Stay tuned...also have a drawer to make....
