Made this yesterday, believe it or not there is actually ten pieces of wood glued together in this piece.

This pic gives you some idea of how big it is.

Finished the side table

I finished the side table today.

Here are some more pics, starting where I left off yesterday.

The base and top were glued up.

Then the top was squared up and sized.

Next the shoulders were cut.

Then the cheeks were cut off.

After drilling the breadboard ends were glued only near the centre and fitted.

Next the tennons were fine fitted.

After drilling the breadboard ends were glued only near the centre and fitted.

Here is the finished table after a coat of Danish oil.

New project started today

It’s going to be a side table, it’s made entirely from leftovers of American black walnut.

The legs are a slab design to match our dining table.

Here is the simple design I done yesterday.

First pic is the scraps I used

The top and the legs were cut from 2 1/2″ and needed resawing to get near the thickness

This pic are the legs being sawn

This pic shows all the components planed to size but still not cut to length.

The next pic is all the components positioned but awaiting mortise & tennons.

Here it is with all the mortise & tennons cut.

Rebates or as the Americans would have us say Rabbets, added to all the stiles for fixing the top on.

Pic of the first stage of glueup, legs to the longer stiles.

These pieces in the pic below will be the breadboard end for the table top, stopped rebates have been routed in ready for fitting to the top.

TV Cabinet in place

So it’s finished and in place.

TV Cabinet Finished

TV Cabinet Finished well nearly.

American Walnut TV Unit, Top open for units that require remotes. Bottom enclosed with a bottom hinged door for storage of remotes, DVD’s Video tapes etc. Pictured after three coats of Danish oil (still wet) when dry a light sanding with 0000 wire wool then a coat or two of Black Bison Wax and it will be finished.

Used up some of the left overs of the American Black Walnut from the HiFi Unit to make this TV Unit, infact only the top was sized up from unused timber the ends and rails were off cuts. To match the Hifi unit everything was sized to two inches thick except the rails in front of the shelves they were sized to 18mm same as the birch plywood and the door was also sized to 18mm thick and is in fact four pieces jointed together with biscuits.

The top was jointed and biscuits were used, the same for the end panels. A floating tennon was used to join the top to the end panels, and 18mm stopped rebates cut with a router ½” deep for the shelves.

Sanded down to 240 grit then 0000 wire wool then three coats of Danish oil for the finish, that’s the point I took the pics. Tomorrow it will get another rubbing down with wire wool and then waxed with Black Bison.

And a view of the back panel
