I usually build acoustic guitars, they have that one all important joint,
the dovetail joining the neck to the body. So I thought building this
end table with every bit of 40 actual joints…could really help
my guitar building…and give me nice break too…
I found that i enjoyed it so much…Im thinking coffee table….

Love it when someone a bit more adventures
Well done nice job?
Wow! Great project. That inlay is really cool. I’m not familiar with the symbol – is there a meaning to the design? May I ask how that was done? Powered router and chisels?
Also, I see some pegs on the legs – are they ornamental or functional?
The inlay design is a merkaba symbol sacred geometry for the light body, two pyramids inverted into each other, actually a 3 dimensional star, Egyptian mainly. Yes, I did the inlay with a router guides and a chisel to do the points and I also had to build a shooting board for the angle of the inlay points, 120 degrees. The joinery is a bit complicated as you see the bottom shelf and upper apron supports are in a horizontal position so I just added some walnut dowels through the finished joint. Every time I look at it I am amazed.
Beautiful work, David! Really great design and well executed. Oh, and I love the saw holder on the wall 🙂
Yes my dovetail saw….I am planning a cabinet…but in the middle of a guitar build..actually I have two in the shop…
A hand shaped neck….rasp, chisel, spokeshave and a scraper
