Build-Along Series, Part 6
Added 2024-07-24 11:00:05 +0000 UTCFriends:
Now that we've ripped out our apron stock, it's time to plane it up. That's four pieces and it could take a long time, but we're going to be as efficient as possible by doing the minimum work. In this video, I focus on the most difficult piece of apron stock to show you all the problems you might have. The other 3 pieces were much quicker.
Stop by the forum thread to see the rest of the builds and chat with everyone who is following along.
Hope you're having fun. I am!

I've never been impressed by people who claim to be "perfectionists". Anyone can drive themselves crazy obsessing over tiny details. Getting projects done is far more important.

2024-07-30 12:35:34 +0000 UTCWell, I use it every day, and nothing has fallen off of it. In fact, it got a lot better when I realized that one of the legs was sitting on the base of a lamp. Then it got a lot more level! 😁

2024-07-30 12:35:22 +0000 UTCThe nice thing about table-tops is that they don't need to be perfectly flat. If they look flat, that's good enough.

2024-07-30 12:34:06 +0000 UTCIt saves time. I think that's the biggest thing.

2024-07-30 12:33:18 +0000 UTCIt is certainly a mindset to not prepare all surfaces even if some don't show.

2024-07-25 16:54:26 +0000 UTCI usually can't help myself but S4S... The one thing I built while consciously not to, ironically, was an end table based on your design! And I took it to a bit of an extreme. The top has both a big dip in it and a pronounced twist. 🫠

2024-07-25 00:12:43 +0000 UTCI’m building along and really enjoying the relaxing pace. Thanks Team Rex.

2024-07-24 23:03:13 +0000 UTCPerfect balance of time and finish quality of the piece. Thank you, Rex. Have a good day.

2024-07-24 17:33:02 +0000 UTCNot only good tool use technique but also good emphasis on time use. Perfectionists can have shops full of half finished projects that were abandoned because they didn’t make any progress.
