End Table with Drawer

Finally .. the end table drawers.

Making the slots for the drawer ..

Done!

The end tables are done ..


.. and installed.


... And yes, I'll still have to make the drawers.

Hmmm .. looks like we might need some help in the lamp department.

Underside bevel of the Table top

I was able to complete the underside bevel on the table top with my hand planes .. and it was very fun to do. Tough to take a picture of, though!

On the next one, I need to be a little less aggressive with my marking gauge.

Playing with my early Christmas present

Labeling my work was Larua's idea so guess what I got as an early Christmas present? I stamped my first initial, last name and 2010 in the end tables today. What fun! Who would have thought?

End Tables start to come together

The fitting.


Using my new skewed rabbit plane to trim the tenons to a perfect fit. I used Chris Schwarz's suggestion and removed the front knob which makes the plane look pretty, but gets in the way during use.

12.17 End Table Progress

This is as far as I got today. The first dry assembly on the first table. Drawer runners for front still need to be created and installed. My newly sharpened paring chisels made this a fast and easy fitting.
