Project Information

This is another stoutly built Craftsman style table. 2" legs, 1" stretchers, 3/4" slats, 1" top. Oak and walnut as usual. Doweled through tenons as usual. Please do not pay any attention to the figured mahogany door in the background. I have built more than a few of these and am here to tell you they will outlast your grandkids' grandkids. When I design and build furniture, I like to look 1 or 2 hundred years down the road. It just seems to make it all more worthwhile and satisfying. Also, contrary to some ugly rumors, I do not have a buildup of sawdust under my jointer. As you can see, I have a little waste basket that catches and contains all sawdust and chips before they hit the floor. As always, bbqking.

Saw dust ? Where ??? I can't see my shop floor at the moment because of the "SAW DUST"!!! I refuse to clean it up until I finish all the cutting on my current project. Check it out at my blog.

By the way…Love the table. Has that meaty, hefty look that says…I'll take you all on, and whip your tails, and still be here after you all have died and gone. Looks Great!

That's the best looking jack stand I've ever seen …and a darn good end table to boot! I really like it. Thanks for posting.

(I don't see any sawdust…just some breakfast cereal, someone left behind.)

BBQKing.. Jeesh Louise (Hope that's not Dusty's Mother in Laws Name) that's one beautiful table. Glad to see someone else builds stout furniture. LOML has to remind me that I don't have to build furniture to "hurricane" specs. Don't think of those wood remnants as saw dust. Think of it as fuel for your low temperature meat smoker, especially if you can get some cherry or apple dust.

This is a beautiful table. You have chosen a nice wood combination and executed a nice build on this table.

Good job.

By the way your dust collection looks like it is working just fine. :)

Thanks for the post.

Very pretty table, and it definitely looks like it is built to last!

So the wastebasket collection system is working out well for you, huh? <g>
