Build-Along Series Part 4
Added 2024-07-10 11:00:05 +0000 UTCFriends:
Welcome to the Shaker Table Build-Along, Part 4. Today, we'll prepare the boards for the top and glue them up. It's a simple operation, but there are always a few tips to help out new builders.
If you're following along with this series, don't forget to drop by the Build-Along Thread on the forum. Lot's of good stuff there.
See you next Wednesday!

2024-07-20 13:12:01 +0000 UTCWhy didn't you do both boards together (bookends?) when planning the jointed edges?

2024-07-20 13:11:31 +0000 UTCFor just a second, I thought we were actually going to see you use a jointer plane, but no! I've been fooled again! 😄

2024-07-14 02:24:35 +0000 UTCWhy spend so much time trying to get both boards square when you can plane both edges at the same time and the resulting edges will be complimentary and equal 90 degrees, one can be 88 and the other 92 and they will join flat. Hard to describe verbally, but works perfectly at the bench

2024-07-11 03:20:25 +0000 UTCGreat as always! I am one of the few who like that dark heartwood but agree the matchup on those poplar pieces weren’t a good match!
