Shaker nightstand pt. 5

With the mortise and tenons finished and the top glued up it was time to cut the leg tapers and glue up the base of th table.


Back into the living room with the sawbench and my ripsaw.


Since I was already out of the workshop, I went ahead and smoothed the tapers with my no 4 and this improvised stop. I have considered installing one of those mortised aluminum planing stops in this bench, that may be a good idea.


The dry fit looks good.


Before I glue up the base I decided to plow some grooves in the sides to ease installation of the top. And to have an excuse to play with the plow plane.


All glued up!
