    New Guy Hall Table

    Getting back into woodworking. This was the toughest project yet, it could be better but I am still learning. My wife loves it, so I am in good shape.

    Nice table indeed. Sometimes we only have to satisfy that one customer.

    So is this cherry and birch ply? How did you do the legs?

    Legs and aprons are cherry with birch wrapped around birch plywood for top. I intended to do the top with solid birch but had some issues with twisted and cupped boards. I tried to get it to work, but without a jointer or planer I gave up and went with plywood. I cut the top of legs at 60 degrees to get the point and then tapered the legs down to 3/4" at the bottom then rounded all edges with 3/8" roundover.

    Nice job, Luke, and welcome. And, I am sure you have learned that without pleasing the "lady", new tool purchases are difficult! So, never forget, she is your most important critic.

    Welcome Luke! Nice way to introduce yourself! I like the contrast on the top.

    Some of the cave dwellers over on the neander side of the creek might be able to help you with a "cordless" jointer/planer! Being new to wordworking, I only recently discovered that hand planes and scrapers work much better when sharpened. Darn near planed my board into nothingness once I started getting real shavings. Mesmerizing.

    Looking forward to more posts.

    Luke, welcome to SMC. Nice table, I like the leg & apron detail.
    Please help support the Creek.

    Very nice! Perfectly balanced.
