Triangular Side Table

looks good! do the legs go through the bottom shelf? how is it attached? dowels perhaps? (the light colored round things)

Actually the bottom shelf just sits on the bottom cross members. The buttons (light colored round things) cover the counter sunk screw holes that I used to attch the side skirts to the legs. I’m not into fancy joinery and I like the custme “crafty” look of the buttons.

Hi Andy, I like the the buttons too. The finish looks great as well. What kind is is?

That is “cute as a button” Andy! I made one similar to that out of Oak, but it doesn’t look nearly as dramatic as that Mahogany! Very Nice! Welcome to the addiction known as Lumberjocks!

Ben,

I use Minwax Wipe on Poly just about excluively on my projects. This one is no exception. It takes a few more coats but it produces a nice even finish.

That was my problem. I needed just the right size for my set up and so had to make it myself. The trickiest part was figuring out the angles. I’m not a geniust when it comes to that sort of stuff so just kept cutting scrap wood until the layout was just what I wanted. Then I could measure the angles.
