That is going to be a great nightstand when you’re done! You’ll thank yourself for not compromising on the little details later.

Scott,

This is coming along nicely.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

You are definitily making progress. Nice!

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

Nicely done, wish I had some of your equipment to work with.
my desk is approaching completion. will send picts when ready

Nice Job! Is the middle stile the same thickness as the rails? It looks thinner in the picture but I can’t tell.

You hit the nail on the head Robb. Everything has an 8th inch offset. The rails are offset from the legs, the center stile is offset from the rails and the panel is offset from the stile. Then everything is rounded off with an 8th inch roundover. It adds a lot of visual interest and I am liking it very much. I will add some better pictures when I am not at work ;)

This project is really coming out great. It looks like it will be a winner.

Looking really nice! It’s always worth the extra effort to book match bigger panels. Looking forward to seeing the finished piece!

Looking really nice. The cloud lift is a nice feature.

Boy, waiting for the next blog post was killing me, I thought it would never come – - but it was worth it!
Excellent work,
Robb

I was just about to draw a very similar side table from scratch. I hope you don’t mind if I use your sketchup file from your home page as a starting point…

This table will be my project for the “furniture construction” class I am taking at the academy of art in San Francisco. The only thing I would want to change is the two doors to a single door, and probably change the dimensions a bit.

Great project!

Hi DrTebi,

Go ahead and use that model any way you wish. Just promise you will post a picture of the finished project. You can find the final model here

The difference is the drawer construction. I added a bead to the top and bottom. It really sets the drawers off.
