Now that I have seen the table for the first time I can start to finalize the shaping on the legs. Everything is chunky and needs to be cut, tapered, shaved and faceted until the table is tied together as a cohesive whole. This is the type of active woodworking\/design that my style promotes.<\/p>\n

I begin with a flexible curve, a straight edge and my pencil.<\/p>\n

Off to the bandsaw and then the edge sander to clean them up.<\/p>\n

The curved stretchers go through a similar process. I sketch on them with a pencil then its off to the bandsaw. These pieces will require some hand work to clean up. Hand tools are amazing if you know how to use them.<\/p>\n

All of the parts get sanded by hand. Now I can figure out how to glue this all together.<\/p>\n

This stage needs to be carefully planned out. There is nothing worse than a glue up gone awry.<\/p>\n

I feel comfortable so I spread glue on both parts of the joint. Clock is ticking as the glue starts to set up.<\/p>\n

So far so good! I will wait for the glue to dry and then glue on the other three legs.<\/p>\n

Again I will have to plan out every detail. I think I am ready to go.<\/p>\n

\"P1000431.JPG\"<\/p>\n

Done! Everything went together perfectly.<\/p>\n
