Got a bit of time in the workshop for ME today, making an endtable for the sofa in the family room… this is where Deb does her crocheting and needed two things… a table for her cuppa.. and a drawer to hide her wool and things away from the puppies…
The other day we found a really nice woven basket… so begins the build of a cabinet to house the basket..
The top is two pieces of Narra [New Guinea Rosewood] glued up…
The main carcass is also made from Narra.. the legs are notched to receive all the cross pieces… the runners and kickers for the basket are also notched in… the bottom shelf is half lap joinery … I did this on the SCMS by using the depth stop and just running some kerfs to the required width..
Tape them together and do the whole lot as one… means that all the grooves line up… fairly quick and easier than setting up a Dado Blade.
It will be a bit of job getting all the clamps set during glue up…Here it is at the dry fit stage…
And a quick shot of the top after sanding…nice bookmatch…
Progress so far is good…she has only been waiting for a few years…you all know how that is?
Tomorrow is the glue up and sanding day…I figure a few coats of clear satin poly…
More to come… stay tuned…
PS… the wood sale is going gangbusters… still heaps left … but don’t wait too long…

Looking forward to the finished project. Love the bottom shelf. Good things come to those who ….well… have to weight for us guys to get them finished. It’s looking great.

Always nice to get something for yourself! Of course, when it is an original Degoose… well, that makes it all the better!

That’s a great looking table, I love how that basket is fully incorporated into it. If it looks this good without the finish, I can’t wait to see it with.

Dang! And I thought you just made cutting boards. That is VERY nice. And a perfect match for the knitting basket. Hope my wife doesn,t see this or it will be added to my list.

Looks great Larry. I especially like the way you did the bottom shelf which ties in very nicely with the basket on top.
