Chet Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 When you did the through mortises did you use a bushing or pattern bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many hours you think you have into this project so far? Probably (guessing) close to 10 hours.. I hadn't really kept track. 3 hours ago, Chet said: When you did the through mortises did you use a bushing or pattern bit? Pattern bit. That's why I was able to also use the template to keep the chisel flat and ensure a straight chop for the corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephThomas Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 Good stuff, that straight grain walnut is b-e-a-utiful. I'm liking the form-factor too, I should review the relative dimensions and steal for a future project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pkinneb Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 They look great! Thanks for taking the time to create and share the videos!! I do have one question why do you cut with a regular blade before switching to the dado stack on your tenons vs just cutting them with your dado stack? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have one question why do you cut with a regular blade before switching to the dado stack on your tenons vs just cutting them with your dado stack? Well... Here's the story... I was on a roll, cruising along when I dialed in the depth I needed with the regular blade before installing the stack. So, since everything was set up I just cut the shoulders first and then dropped the stack in. In other words, my brain was 2 steps ahead of reality 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ..Kev Posted December 10, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Getting the stretchers in and finishing up the bases.. I thought I'd finish up the tables in this video but, there will be one more after this to finish up the slabs, mount the tops, and do the finish. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chet Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Great Work Kev. I am assuming that the tusks will be just the friction fit in final assembly, no glue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allows for them to be broke down should we move again which I'm not planning on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodenskye Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Nice work Kev. Looking at the slabs in the shop, it looked like they would be massive as an end table, but when in place, look just right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Your heading into Nakamisha territory ! I love how those wide slabs really show how beautiful the entire unbroken grain pattern is. I've sprayed waterbourne's for many years and I really like the life and depth the colors take on by using ARS as a first coat. Definitely trying that soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely like that look on walnut. Not quite the same effect on lighter woods. It's an extra step in the finishing which takes time but, I think it's worth it.

Chestnut Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 I did that on some hickory and i still think it worked well despite it being a lighter wood. Those slabs are beautiful. It's almost a shame that they are in the corner but i know how it goes, they go where the lady of the house wants them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
