The diamond marked on the tops of the four legs will always allow you to recognize the inside and outside faces of the legs. side tapers will end on each leg. Connect the marks from the top to the bottom of the legs, then cut the tapers on a band saw, cutting as close to the line as you can. To smooth out the band saw cut, use a bench 1 3/4" Plan 21 1/2" plane and a bit of muscle to remove the rough-sawn edge. The term "occasional table" implies that this table won't be expected to carry a lot of weight.

I use a pen when laying out these measurements so they won't fade or be easily obscured during the clean-up process on the tapers. doesn't have to be extraordinarily strong. Two #20 biscuits in each joint provides plenty of strength for the base. The 1/4" plywood bottom screwed in place will add to the base's strength. Set up the joinery by marking each leg 29/16" from the top (the center point for the aprons). Adjust the biscuit joiner to space two biscuits evenly in the thickness of each apron and to position the aprons flush to the legs. After cutting the biscuit joints, set up a router to run a 1/4" x 5/s"-wide rabbet in the bottom edge of the aprons for the bottom. With the rabbets cut, start assembling the base by gluing the short aprons between the legs. Dealing with fewer clamps on any procedure makes the glue-up easier. Check for square on each glued-up end by measuring from the top corner of one leg to the bottom corner of the other, making sure the measurements are equal. After about an hour, glue up the rest of the base, again checking the base for square on the sides and across the width and length of the apron. For the loose top to fit accurately, you have to be on the money. 1 3/4" Loose top #20 biscuits ^-fhl Apron #20 biscuits 1/4" plywood bottom #6 x 3/4" screws Leg Joinery Detail PopularWoodworking August2001 |
