Black Locust Plant Stand Glue-up

I wanted to post more about these plant stands as they got built but that didn't seem to happen, better late than never though! They've both been sanded and glued up now, and I spent last night cleaning up the squeeze out, puttying gaps and cutting the shelves to fit on the first one. The second still needs all that and I hope to get them both home to finish this weekend.

I original plan was to wedge the stretcher tenons, but after cutting a chamfer on them I decided I liked it better. There's seven of these on each side, and they match the front angle all the way down.

The shelves themselves sit on 3/8" of the side pieces, I'm going to secure them in place with some tabletop fasteners and mortises that I put on the insides of each of the side pieces.

Notching and Tapering Cherry End Table Legs

I notched the legs, and then decided they needed a taper so went back and did that as well. I'm going to have to do a bit of sawdust clean up as there are some gaps here and there, but not bad for my first attempt at this.

Hickory Dining Table Rough Dimensioning

I started on my biggest project to date, a hickory dining table. It'll be 4×6' without its leaf, and 7.5' with it.

Mobile Work Table Frame

I've had these Douglas fir 4x4's sitting for half the year. I milled them up this past week and framed out the base for a mobile work/outfeed/assembly table that I can use at Technocopia . The plan is to fill it with four cabinets (two with drawers, one with trays and one for a dust cyclone) so I can bring everything into the workshop with me.
