Which part of Seattle are you in Darrell? Perhaps one of these times I’m traveling over there I could come visit and watch for a little while!

-- No good deed goes unpunished!

Great looking table!in true G&G style, but would not expect less from you Darrell. I am contemplating building an Aurora table and have been studying the style for some time now. Still working on the wife to let me take one of your class. Someday for sure. Thanks for posting.

Darrell Peart,
Gorgeous work again as always. Thank you for the in process, build shots as well.Planing the drawer front, shows how much hand work is still involved in the constuction of some thing like this wonderful table. Who mfg’ed the slot mortiser? Hope we can get a look at the second table with the removable/reversible top as well. Thanks so much for sharing with us here.

Sincerely,
Ken McGinnis

Very nice piece. Must have taken many many hours of work. Would you be able to tell a beginner how you managed to get such a nice fit as shown in picture #4?
Thx Lloyd

Thanks everyone!
Arw101 – I am in West Seattle just south of Roxbury on 30th Ave SW. I will have a booth at The Seattle Bungalow Fair at Town Hall this coming weekend – stop by and say Hi

Woodbutcher – My mortiser is a multi-router which is a really great machine – incredibly accurate and fast!

Lloyd – Fitting the curved solids to the table core is not difficult but it is much more involved than could be explained in the room we have here. I will give a very very basic rundown of how it is done.

Make the core section of the table first

attach a piece of MDF to the table’s core and flush trim it to the core

save the offal side of the MDF (the part that was not attached to the core)
This piece is an exact replica of what is needed to produce the solid edging – but plus the diameter of the router bit used for the flush trim

attach another piece of MDF to the saved piece of MDF
route again using but this time use a template guide that will put back that amount that the first flush router took away.

I am not sure if I explained this well – there are a few other details but this is the principle.

I have an article coming out in the next issue of Woodwork Magazine that goes into detail on this – but in the article we are making a template for a drawer front with a curved bottom edge that has a 1/16” gap along a matching curve just below it. It’s not an identical situation but the principle is the same.

Nice

Another wonderful project. Somewhere, Charles and Henry are smiling.

Great project! Very complex looking jig, would like to see more of your jigs.

Very nice! I love the G&G design elements. Does the base allow you to sit snugly up to the table?

The base does allow you to sit close enough to the table

It’s definitely not the tools that are making the job. I LOVE everything you post here. I will finally have to start using that buddy function… I almost missed this as I was away.
