Bedside Table – a bit more progress – leg bevels,drawer slides and kickers

Sawing the bevels.
Surface after sawing and a little chisel clean up.
Cleaning up the pair with my No. 4.

A place for my plans and the Bed Side Table

I finished my cutting board this weekend and started layout on the bedside table.  Lucky for me Marc, Matt and Shannon were talking about build order on the last Woodtalk Online.  Its a good one and worth a listen.  So I sat down and made my outline/build order from the plans and sketch up file.  And … I found a great place to put the outline and parts list.

On to leg layout.

This weekend I worked on making a cutting board for a friend, but I also managed to squeak in a little time in on the bed side table that I’m starting.

Using my “power” jointer to create the first edge.
Then I ripped the legs from an 8/4 piece of cherry.
Then cut 4 same sized leg blanks with a tiny bit left over from the 8′ ripped section.

 

This is what the final piece will look like.
