I made this table for my Mom. I stay at her house when I work in Ohio, it is where I grew up. I always help do work and maintenance on the house when I am there. I wanted to make something for her and she saw this side table in one of my magazines, I get them all. (I really mean ALL.) This plan was in Wood Magazine I think. Once again the choice of wood is cherry. Come on guys, you just can’t go wrong with it! The finish is a precatalyzed lacquer, I just keep the pressure pot loaded with it, and it works great. I use a satin because it looks good on so many projects. I haven’t done much that called for anything glossy. The emotional satisfaction for this project is pretty high. Mom just treasures it. I highly recommend this project as something easy to accomplish in a weekend and it would be very well received by anyone.
These pictures were taken in my brother’s shop in Ohio. It is great, I have a shop in Montana and Ohio. Half of the stationary tools were mine at one time, so they are like old friends.

Man, look how fast his hands move. Maybe this is really superman in disquise. Mild-mannered lumberjock is caught on camera rubbing at a gazillion rubs per second.

That’s a beautiful shop, but a shop only contributes to craftsmanship. The craftsmanship comes first.
This is a lovely little table. Todd.

Beautiful shop, and to think it is one of three he has access to. I would be happy if I just had one that looked like that.
Great job on the table.
