Dragonfly Side Table

Angles and an artful inlay set this Arts & Crafts-inspired design apart. I've been fascinated by interesting little tabouret tables lately, and it seems the more complicated the design, the more I'm intrigued. Tapered sides, angled joinery, and curved shapes …Source

New End Table Finally Finished

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


New End Table Finally FinishedThis is an end table next to my recliner to replace a 35 plus year old inexpensive table that has served me well.
It is 25” x 23” x 20.5” tall and will serve as a place to sit my coffee on in the morning.I built this project between shops in Portland, Oregon and Oro Valley, Arizona. The base was complete in August 2020 and documented in my blog of 8-3-20 “Partially Finished End Table”. The base consists of tapered legs with the apron pieces being attached by mortise and tenon joints.The top is a 4” wide walnut frame with an insert panel built with padauk, walnut and maple which sets in a rabbet in the outer frame. More info and pictures are in my blog “End Table WIP” from 3-28-21. https://www.lumberjocks.com/gdaveg/blog/132348The top was connected to the base with Z-clips today. It survived the trip from AZ to WA being carefully wrapped in paper and cardboard.The fit of the insert panel into the top frame will be monitored to see if the ambient humidity of Washington creates swelling issues. If so it will be unscrewed and trimmed.It was a fun but long build. I may add a couple of more coats of Minwax Wipe on Poly to the top to add protection.

Table saw cabinet and wings

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Table saw cabinet and wingsThis whole project was inspired by fellow LJ member woodbutcherbyknight. And more specifically in response to a comment I had made about not having space for things like a cross cut sled in my current shop configuration. Gunny's response was along the lines of “you have space you just aren't using it right”. And so I set out to build some organization around my table saw. The third pic shows everything I have stuffed into this little setup right now.If you're wondering why the top looks all splotched well so am I. My go to finish for shop furniture is Waterlox because its pretty durable if you can get past the smell. However the Masonite tops did not agree with it and after waxing it looks like that. The top is slick as snot on ice going downhill but its also sinfully ugly. Function over beauty I guess.Both wings are built like shallow torsion boxes with an open bottom. I don't know how else to describe it. Edge banding is soft maple. The cabinet is just Home Creapo grade birch with maple face and side frames to make it pretty. I did manage to get the drawer fronts to have continuous grain without screwing up so a win in “skillz” column there.The cabinet supports the weight of the right wing utilizing 4 leveling corner feet that are hidden inside the bottom of the cabinet.
A simple allen key allows me to adjust all four corners to get the wing in line with the cast iron.That about sums up the this project unless you like drawer organization then stay tuned for each of those.Top drawer houses my dado stack in a custom mount thingy I made for it. As well as the other most important thing for dados which is my cheap caliper.
The second drawer is a mixed bag. I started with an organizer for all of my throat inserts and filled in the rest with whatever would fit.
The third drawer is my clunky attempt at a blade holder. It works but not super happy with it.
And the bottom drawer holds my small cross cut sled. I have since installed some side rails to keep it at the top of the drawer giving me space underneath of it. This is my old sled also. I've already started making a new one. I don't like the Kreg top track and swing stop. Not liking Kreg products is starting to become a theme for me. And yes Gunny I will be painting the blade guard red on the new one red.
And so finally I had a place for a sled to answer Gunny's comment. I'm working on a larger sled as well and who knows where the hell I'm going to store that. My shop has doors and windows in odd places making wall space an ultra premium. But i'm confident if i try to think like Gunny I will get it figured out.
