3=1 table

Very nice work. My wife has been asking me to make a set like this for quite a while. Any suggestions?

Nice set of nesting tables. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the interest.
EduWood- I used very basic joinery, only dowels and glue to secure top, sides and legs. The runners that the 2 lower tables slide/rest on were glued and brad nailed. The legs were tapered on a shop built jig based on those sold at WoodCraft. After a few test cuts and some doodles on scrap I was able to determine the layout and order for cuts. The only slightly tricky factors were to determine the angle of taper vs. the thickness for my lumber, I ended up squaring the legs using equal increments for each table before they met the apron so each leg on all three tables ended up 1” thick on all 4 sides where it met the apron and top. Because these tapered cuts will start angled against the grain and end running with the grain, wood selection and finish should be taken into account to avoid an eyesore.(I got lucky-tight grain and dark stain hid the grain direction, heavy contrast, wide grained or veiny stock would have a clumsy look,IMHO.) This was made for the purpose of holding a lamp and small rear ss speaker, if metal reinforcement hardware be needed, plenty of room. Thicker degree of leg taper and m&t joinery could only improve strength if yours needed to hold heavier items. PM me if any?, its much easier than I can explain it via print
