Finally finshed (well - almost) the end table project. After coats of wipe on poly, brought them inside for the final 12 hours of curing. I need to put on the "Z" clamps to secure the tops, hopefully tomorrow evening. They are all different sizes (same height) because each place the LOML wanted to put one had different space available.
I really learned a lot on this one:
- Mortise and tenons aren't so bad once you practice some (also good excuse for new mortiser)
- I like using wipe-on poly, especially on table tops
- I can still screw things up royally, but getter better at hiding them
- Miller dowels make a nice touch
- I don't think I like the "production mode" of projects, felt like it took forever making parts until they started looking like something, guess I need more "instant" gratification
The full story is in my project diary, but the final update won't be until Tuesday.
Thanks for looking -

That's one of the reasons I made my three mission tables from different designs and one at a time. The pinned tennons add just the right touch. Pat
