Well done Tod:thumb:

[Rennie Heuer]

Nicely done. Those feet really give the table an 'anchored' look.

[Jesse Cloud]

Nice piece Tod! I really like the shaping on the legs - very creative!:thumb:
That drawer front is beautiful too!

How did you attach the panel at the bottom to the legs?

I'm afraid to ask, but how long did it take you to make it?

[Chris Mire]

beautiful, what we have come to expect from you tod

well done

how is the top attached?

Beautiful work, Tod. I like the feet of the legs, a good touch.:thumb:

I have a question, and if you feel it is 'getting into your business' you can choose to not answer. I am curious as to how much you have invested in the table, materials and time. And then approximately what you expect to be able to sell it for. If you don't want to answer, tell me to mind my own business.:dunno:

If he says "I did it last weekend" I think I might sell all my tools and take up DVD collecting! :doh::rofl::rofl:

[tod evans]

thanks guys! this table took less than a week to build while playing on the forum and doing other jobs too....
ken, there`s about 10-12 bf of mahogany there and the customer agreed to 500 bucks before i started work.......i`ll know if they`re pleased later today?
for the turners....the knob was spun in less than 10 min.
chris, the top is attached with screws through elongated pocket holes.
jesse, the shelf is set into knotches cut in the legs and pinned with 1/8" dowell at an angle from underneath.

:D I get to keep my tools!

Todd - worth every penny!

[Stuart Ablett]

What............no plywood :eek: :rolleyes: :D

Now that is a beaut! :clap:

Nice to see you can still do non-curvy stuff :rofl::rofl:

Love the dovetails, the look like the grew in place! :thumb:

[Billy Burt]

That's right purty, Tod! Maybe my monitor, but I wouldn't have guessed Mahagony. I really like the cut of the legs and feet. Very classy look!:thumb:

[glenn bradley]

That is a beauty Tod. That reminds me, I need to move my bedside tables up on my list. I like the proportions and of course, those feet.

[Nancy Laird]

Tod, the table is beautiful!! But I have one question, and it's curiosity only. Why did you choose to run the grain on the shelf 90 degrees out of the top? Like I said, curiosity.....

so the expansion and contraction would hopefully flex the longer back rail instead of fighting the shorter-n-stiffer side rails....plus the forces of the drawer operating will stress the side rails enough without adding to the equation.....(plus that`s the sized scrap i grabbed;))

Nice clean work! Did you hand cut the dovetails?

whatever the local paint store carries.....so long as it`s nitrocellouse, i don`t care for the cab acrylic.

Good looking table Tod! The shape is quite nice!

[Vaughn McMillan]

Very nice, Tod. Your work never disappoints. :thumb:

[Toni Ciuraneta]

Very good Tod, thanks for posting it, as someone else mentioned I like the way it conveys the stability feeling. Simple and effective.

Just a question, the drawer bottom is masive ( I don't know if the spelling is right) mahogany as well or is it plywood with veneer?

Thanks again

[Norman Hitt]

Very Nice, Tod. I liked the same things the others said, but I especially liked the way you made the back of the drawer, (with the drawer bottom in a dado, instead of being tacked to the back of the drawer).:thumb:

I see a lot of drawers made today using the method in parenthesis above, but when I was a kid, we had some furniture that had drawers like that, and of course my Mom had every drawer in the house overstuffed with things and eventually the bottoms would sag, especially at the back and small things would go out the gap and fall down inside the cabinet and I hated that. Because of that I have NEVER made a drawer like that, (and most likely never will).

That finish sure looks nice. "I like Lacquer", never really cared much for Varnish, and HATE Polyurethane. One of these days I'm going to get set up and try some PreCat.

[tod evans]

the drawer bottom is solid wood and i allowed 1/2" for expansion at the rear by cutting the dado almost through the rear of the drawer. if i`d used a more mobile wood such as oak i don`t think i could have gotton away with that trick:o and would have had to use the tack or screw method to allow for movement.
thanks again! tod

[Steve Ash]

Nice, but that's what we come to expect from you :thumb:

....and I am glad Rennie gets to keep his tools.....:D

[Robert Schaubhut]

Hi Tod, :wave:
Nice LEGS!:rolleyes::rofl::rofl:
Nice piece! :thumb:
Did you make 4 extra legs while set up?
Shaz :)

[Wes Bischel]

Good looker Tod. As someone stated, it looks anchored - almost like it has roots and grew there. It is amazing what a little detail like that can do for a piece.

Thanks for posting - it was great to see!

[Sam Blasco]

Balance and harmony... And, in no way looks put together by a hillbilly. :D
Excellent work, Tod.

[Bruce Page]

Very nice Tod. I really like the modern look of the feet.

Everything about it strikes me as well proportioned, graceful, masterfully executed and finished. I never even would have thought about 90 degreeing the woods to compensate for expansion/contraction, drawer stresses, etc. If I ever do something like that, I'll remember this as a learning experience. All around, it's a :thumb:

[ken werner]

Fine work, again Tod. I like the design, and of course the execution.
