Hey Guys,
I've never built any "finished furniture" and I'm looking to change that. I'd like to make something similar to the "Cherry Console Plan" that showed up in Woodsmith No. 163. I haven't seen the issue, but I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on ordering the plan reprint here:
<edit: changed my mind, now going with this plan>
Anybody familiar with it?
The suggested necessary tools include: a table saw <check>, dado blade <check> and drill press <check>. What they don't mention are the tools I don't have... jointer and planer. Am I in the clear?
My questions are these:
1. Is it possible to build something like this without a planer, or jointer?
2. What's a ballpark material cost (Philadelphia area) for a project like this assuming the up-charge for S4S stock? I was thinking cherry, or maple... so I could finish it to match another piece of furniture in the house.
Thanks in advance,
Scott
