Starting to plan my coffee table, I was given some 1×8 oak which I shall use for the top. My wife loves the idea of a drawer or 2 under the top. I’d still like to base it on the tenoned design similar to Paul’s, and she’d like a low shelf, so let the internet, magazine picture search and sketching begin.!!!
8/4 oak, ripped to 2-3/8″ by HAND… 6 tip saw sharpened to Paul’s liking I think. Did not take as long as I thought, lost count of saw strokes, great workout and tried not to sweat over the oak. Where’s my Tylenol……???

Coffee table has is framed with exception of drawer front side, took a couple pics with top ( rough size) in place to get the feel for what it will look like. With MOST other projects of the house and friends behind, can get back to the table. Apologies if photos Require flipping.Attachments:

Went back this evening to keep working and I ended up splitting one of the mortised side shelf supports, it is fixable, just disappointing, but hey, I learned AGAIN to NOT rush….5 May 2014 at 3:00 pm #56773A day of woodworking, even with a split, is still a good day. I’ve enjoyed seeing your coffee table coming together. Thanks for the update.
Well got a couple hours tonight as well, test fitted the shelf frame and brought it upstairs to test fit the space…..(Not for long as there is an offer on our house) so I kinda feel under pressure to finish the project now before I have to pack the shop… Glad my workbench comes apart….. 😉
