Charlie's Dinner Table

Man, that was a great save on the dovetails. I would have never known you didn’t plan it that way!

-- Charlie M. "Woodworking - patience = firewood"

Beautiful Job! Does Charlie approve?

Great looking project! I have been wanting to make something similar for my Charlie! I think i will borrow your layout!

Awesome craftsmanship. That truly must be man’s best friend. Thanks for sharing.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Wow, mitered dovetail inlays, I’d say that was the hardest way possible :)

The ‘easy’ way would be to make the tail board purpleheart and one you have the dovetails fitting properly, saw off the tail board flush+thickness of the desired iinlay with the pine. Then proceed to do it all over again with a shim on the left and increased bit height.

Someone on here did a blog with video on this procedure a few months back.

Another pooch pamper’er in the crowd, after seeing this, my golden is now demanding a seat at the dinner table since I have yet to create a personal gastronomic consumption layout of his very own….........

-- I can so I wood but why are my learning curves always circles

Holy cow! I can’t even figure out how you did this, let alone how it is supposed to be done. Nice job on the dovetails! Charlie is one lucky dog.

Dog gone that’s nice work and you used in on a dog feeder! Your Good, Really Good.

-- Dominic, Trinity, Florida...Lets be safe out there.

Looks great, but you do realize all that nice work will be covered in dog slobber soon right?

-- Use the fence Luke

Great job on this… what an incredible save!! This is a terrific looking project.

Also, I think this is what you are looking for.

Thanks Steve, that’s exactly what I was looking for.

-- Tony, Ohio

I guess your dog gets Caviar for breakfast? Boy, I hope he appreciate the work! We might check if he published it on lumberdogs.

-- The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep...

Nice, almost too nice to use except nothing is too nice for man’s best friend. You did it the hard way for sure.

-- Every cloud has a silver lining

Great job!

Thanks for the post

Larry, I’m with you. I’ve wondered for a while if a cat would like something like this. Afterall I use dog bowls for my cats.
