Looks nice. What are your plans for the top?

I was working on the top today.

I am making the top using alternating wide and narrow planks with breadboard ends.

Very nice. This is going to be a beautiful table. I am looking forward to see what it looks like with the top.

Great looking tapered legs. How do you like your Steel City mortiser? I see you glued up your legs. Did you do this to use up some scraps, lack of ability to find dimentional lumber or for expansion concerns?

The legs are glued up for stability and because I could not find any 4”x4” red oak stock. My area suppliers say they don’t like kiln drying anything thicker than 8 qtr because of the extended drying time and tendency to check and warp.

I am very happy with my Steel City mortiser, but then I have been using a drill press adapter kit. Using my kit on my drill press I had to raise the table 3 times to cut 2 1/2” deep mortises. This is a tricky and probably not very safe procedure. With my dedicated mortiser, I can cut the 1/2” by 2 1/2” deep mortises very easily and safely.

The minute I saw the first photo I knew this was a quality job.

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

Nice! I don’t mind doing laminated legs. The general viewer has no idea if they are mitred columns, quarter sawn, or laminated. Only you know. I think the entire build looks fantastic!
