Gamble Entry table #3: It's comming along...

abie — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 01:35:27 GMT

I’ve been busy making the parts fit sanding and then staining with Red Mahagony….Lyptus turned out darker than I imagined but it is cool.. The bread boards were also Lyptus but a darker hue.. so the contrast was fine.
The Box joints were cut using an Incra jig as did David M… and I cut another set with traditional hand saw as my instructor wanted.. I can’t tell the difference. Splines on the breadBoards were tricky as the dado blane does not account for warpage and mine was warped ever so slightly… Blew out the bread board trying to fit it and CA glue to the rescue.. Cannot see the tear out…

Gamble Entry table #2: next

next on my adventure to emulate the Greene Bros “Gamble House” Entry Table.
After laminating all the leg parts and sawing them on the band saw, I made templates of the dimensions so that I could cut matching rails and cross members the exact same size. One of my many lessons in my brief time as a wood worker … make templates and try things on scraps before cutting expensive wood.
Next I band sawed the upper and lower rails with the famous Greene and Greene cloud lift pattern.
My table has this design mirrored on the bottom as well as the top. Sanding all on the spindle sander after first hand rasping to remove all burn marks etc.
