Do you have some thick stuff for the ends? If not, I would do regular dovetails between the ends and the front apron. I would join the ends to the top with a tongue and groove and maybe a short section of sliding DT at the back end.
Yessir. I got 4 boxes of oak for freeā¦ just enough to never finish a room in my house. Also the finish was not āour styleā so I am slowly ripping and laminating it to other uses.
I have one thick chunk of walnut in my stash and Iām feeling to chintzy to use it on my workbench when it could become something more epic. Iād have to glue up a thick piece to do that end.
The mortisse/tenon in the legs will need a notch to meet up w/ one another.
Yes, 100% taking it from The Anarchistās Workbench.
Hey!! No spoilers!!
LOOK AWAY AARON!
(I keep getting an error from Discourse saying that isnāt a sentence. Stupid Discourse.)
Yahā¦ that. I guess Iām just calling the ātongue and grooveā a breadboard but have no plan to get too deep. I have enough walnut that I could glue up a thicker end. I āinheritedā a nice supply of walnut so there is plenty to work with.I feel like I have enough that I could match end-grain enough to make it still look purdy.
Funny story about Winston Churchill, who would appear in front troops displaying his intended V for Victory sign, but with his thumb towards himself instead of toward his audience. Someone had to explain to him why the troops were laughing.
These new pictures are pretty good resolution. I think they will do nicely as is.
Screws? SCREWS!? Daveā¦ this is Fine Furniture. @TysonK can tell you how I feel about screws and fasteners in Fine Furniture.
I meant that they would be only the finest wooden screws made of Peruvian maple and finished with a highly polished sheen.
Donāt indulge him Dave, youāll only make it worse.
LOL. I shouldāve known.
Pretty sure I remember using screws on the last bit of furniture I got from IKEAā¦
ā¦ waiting for explosionā¦
Screws are fine as long as you use a hammer on them. Makes the ikea stuff a breeze to put together.
