Popular Post Chestnut Posted March 5, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 I won't say much other than I was making this off and on during my Morris Chair build. I obviously finished this before the chairs. Top Layout Top glueup prep. Top in clamps. The top is 68" x 22", I was a bit over on the 22" and trimmed back. These 68" boards were jointed perfectly man i love having a good jointer. Shelves glued up. Started surface finishing. Cut in half because i figured it'd be easier. Start to finish with the #4. I was so happy with the results i didn't bother sanding. There were 1 or 2 plane tracks but i left em as proof that it's handmade. I did take pictures of the base parts but basically i cut 2" square legs and tapered 2 sides by 1/2". The finished dimensions were 23.5" (floor to top) 22" deep. 63" long. Topless picture Top is attached with figure 8s to the legs. despite the span being nearly 55" i could stand on the center with minimal flex. If i get an set up and running picture I'll share that as well. 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherry, when ever someone wants something made, because i'm not doing this for a living, i give them 2 rules: no stain and don't be flaky. I had that same envy, the solution was painful but boy was it worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bleedinblue Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 How did you attach the bottom two shelves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Looks good to me! TV's don't weigh anything now, so strength shouldn't be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true but you have to account for that one drunk guy that decides that stand looks like a great bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
