Project Information

A pair of red oak end tables for a friend. I'm trying to work more with hand tools so I made these only using my table saw and miter saw for prepping the lumber and the rest is done by hand. The mortises were fun once I got myself a nice mortising chisel and the hand cut dovetails were challenging at first, but I got the hang of it after a few practice runs. Thanks to Frank Klausz for the instruction on how to hand cut dovetails simply! (I learned from a video, not in person…)
There is no finish on these yet so they look a little dull at the moment.

Very nice. The simplicity of the design is very attractive and the dovetails look great.
