Garden Table Build Process

Return to main project page

This afternoon, the other end of the knot got chopped out (you can see the bottom of the other infill piece in the hole):

The second piece got glued in and then planed flush (again, I struggled to find anything with a particularly closely matching grain):

After planing both faces and both edges of all four legs, I was sweltering in the June-day heat, so I decided to call it a day and open a bottle of Le Lamballais Cidre Brut. All being well, tomorrow I'll cut the column to length and get started on cutting the sliding dovetails that will connect column to legs.

I am a hobbyist metalworker and woodworker. I work as an electronic design engineer and spend most of my working days in front of a computer so I enjoy having the opportunity to use my hands and make things in my spare time. I particularly enjoy making tools as I can then use them on other projects. This website showcases some of the things I've made.
