Project Information

Here is a hand-tool build I did last last month, its based on a table from Paul Sellers' book that i had been meaning to make for a while now and finally got around to it.

The table is walnut, legs tapered with a handsaw and plane; aprons curves using stopcuts, chisel, and smoothed with a spokeshave, the rest is basic mortise and tenon.

Its a pretty basic side table design and I have seen several similar ones built by others. I feel like its a nice and classic design and is definitely a fun build!

basic but still a nice design and well done !

i also made many like that with parallel legs (square) - easy to build and easy to sell

but I really liked tapered legs and the small arch of your build
good idea to the the next ones

appreciate the comments and the welcome! The second pic looks a little washed out due to shadows and it looks like it blends with the floor too much but looks better in person IMO

Nice work…especially with all hand tools. I love the look of Walnut.

As a power tool guy, I am very impressed by that job done by all hand tools. The legs and arches make it very elegant.
