>> Mathias: I set up a small office in the laundry room
down here, because it's always quite and cool,
and I have a desktop propped up on two old cabinet doors,
and I want to make a proper table for here.
The legs for this table are gonna be two C-shaped frames
like this, and I'm gonna make it out of these pieces of wood.
These two pieces will be the legs,
and this is gonna be one of the horizontal parts of the legs.
This is how the frames go together,
and for the corners it would be logical to use
a bridal joint, that would be fairly strong.
But, I'm actually gonna double that and have two tenons
in the bridal joint. And, I'll cut those
with my Quick Set Tenon jig, which I've got set-up
with a template here for cutting both slots.
I am cutting it first at half depth
and later at full depth, just to make it easier for the saw.
Now for the mating part, I need to move these cuts
over by a quarter of an inch, so that I cut slots
where I have material, here. And, this jig reduces
three to one from the template, so if I just loosen that,
and use this piece to mark where the slot is now,
and move that over by...
Oh, I'm out of range on my slots here,
so I'll have to flip this template.
This ones a bit tight.
These legs go on either side of the table,
but to keep them from tipping side to side,
I made this part, which is made almost the same way as the legs,
and that goes in between, like this.
Now, I need to mount the top on here
and I'm gonna screw that in from below,
but it's awfully thick here.
so I'm gonna glue a rail on here.
But, because the top is made out of solid wood,
it's gonna shrink and contract in this direction a little bit,
which means I actually need a slot so that this screw
can move side to side in here.
The desktop is just two old pieces of tabletop
glued together.
I'm adding small wooden pads to the feet
so that it won't rock on an uneven floor.
Wheeeew.
