Mission style nightstands -- a picture tour. Visit my eBay auction and bid on a table to be built for you. |
for a look at my present project. |
Just click on the thumbnail picture for a larger look.
|
All my projects start here -- kants and planks of Oak, Walnut, Fir, Maple ... |
From stock the pieces are milled to rough dimensions |
The pieces are marked for proper position and best or, at times, for the most unusual characteristics. |
For the two tables exhibited here a total 56 mortise and tenon joints will need to be made. Here I'm cutting the tenons |
The cheek and shoulder cuts are made using the bandsaw. |
Cheek cuts on one of the table's side tenon. |
Now making one of the 56 mortises for the tables front top apron. |
The tables starting to take form. |
Fitting the mitered frame for the drawer front. |
Cutting biscuits for the mitered drawer front. |
One drawer face glued and ready for finishing - one to go |
Cut dovetails for the drawer body. |
Nightstand with assembled spindles, drawer front and drawer body. |
Using a hand scraper the boards that will make up the nightstands top and bottom inlay are scraped to size. |
With the boards nearly level they are ready for sanding. |
The frame for the top is beveled at 25 degrees. |
Cutting the 45 degree miter on each top frame member |
The top frame set on the beginnings of the walnut inlay |
Butterfly biscuits are crafted using the bandsaw |
The butterfly biscuits are installed at each miter. |
The bottom shelf ready to be sized and installed. |
With all the pieces made they are all dry fitted before being glued. Looks good so on to final assembly and finishing. |
After 60 hrs, 19 board feet of ruff-cut oak, walnut and alder lumber, 4 coats of tongue oil varnish and stain and three bandaids the tables are finished. |
