In this section Paul shows the joinery for the magazine shelf under the table. He then shows some alternative decorations for the ends of the tenon. This gives you a few different options for dressing up this feature of the table.
Great job guys. Thanks for this one
Thanks Ken!
great techniques thanks for this
Again a joy to watch. Very useful information. I wonder how this tenon will fit when it has glue on it, because it’s pretty tight.
Would this same rounding over technique work on a bent wood lamination that is over 60 inches long? I need to do a 1/2 radius on a curved top on a crib that I am making and have always done it with a router, but would rather do it with this technique, if it is feasible due to the length and curve.
Hi Mark,
I would not have thought that the length, or curve, would be a problem. The only problem I can anticipate for you is that if the individual parts of the laminate do not have uniform grain, or the grain is not in the same direction, then it may cause difficult tearout.
Try it. If it doesn’t go well in the first few swipes you could always back off and try something else.
Hope that helps.
These video’s have been most enjoyable and am learning a lot. Thank you Guy’s for your hard efforts.

love the quietness of the workshop ,it allows one to truly engage .great stuff
I was just wondering what kind or brand of router is being used. The width seems to be very useful and have not been able to find them anywhere. THanks!
It’s a Tyzack router, nearly identical to the Preston model. Paul talks about them here:

The Preston 2500P router is being remade by Walke Moore tools, but it’s expensive and currently out of stock.
