Thanks guys. If you saw this table up close you'd see all the gaps in my joinery. The style is of Greene and Greene. I made it from a plan I got online. I like arts and crafts stuff.
I'm learning though. Baby steps you know. Like "What about Bob?" Baby steps out the door, baby steps to the bus station... Some day even I'll make a bombe something huh?
Oak is tear-out city. I've never actually worked with mohag at all. The way you guys talk about it it sounds like I'm gonna like it. Greene and Greene actually made almost everything out of mohag. Even the paneling all over the inside of their houses. The Doc's house in Back to the Future is a Greene and Greene house. There's a bunch of them in Pasadena, CA. I haven't been there yet.
I haven't cut any dovetails yet. I know I should be practicing. The drawers on these tables I made have that proud box joint thing on front and a sliding dovetail back I cut with a routah.
I was planning on getting a dovetail jig, one of those real fancy ones, until I saw T-Chisel cut dovetails. It would take longer to set up the jig that it would to just cut the flippin things. Now I can spend that money on a Tormek you know.
Alright Norm's gonna be on PBS in a minute and I guess I gotta watch. He uses a lot plywood huh?
T, when are you and Al gonna be on PBS?
How you liking KG out there. I don't even care out basketball anymore without him.
