Progress Update on the End Tables:

• Made the tops, under-beveled
• Attached tops to frames
• Construction completed!

Next big steps: Sand, Stain, Finish, Deliver

Progress on the End Tables build:  Made rails and stretchers, assembled to the legs...

Started by making the end table legs:  milling, cutting to size; cutting mortises; cutting tapers; roundovers on edges, bottoms

I've placed the partly-done grandbuddies' dresser project into hibernation for a little while (will come back to it), and I've started on my next new project:

A pair of living room end tables for some good friends of ours.   :)

The end tables will be a simplified adaptation of some chairside tables they found at a furniture store.

Initial steps - design; plan material and cut list; procure the lumber; & cut down into rough part blanks.

Here we go!

For the grand-buddies' dresser project:

Built the carcase, installed drawer dividers, and attached the side leg assemblies. Starting to look like a dresser now!

(Cameo appearance by helper grandson E   :)  )

I finished a shaker end table that I'd made for some friends a couple years ago.

Sanded with 120 and 180 grit, applied some whitewash stain, and put on a few coats of water based poly.

Follow-up to Grampa's Workshopalooza...

Completed the assembly and finishing of the special treasure boxes (Shaker candle boxes) for the MI and MD grandbuddies!

For the little buddies' new dresser - the leg and side panel assemblies are completed.  :)

Starting a new project here at PVWW - a children's dresser for some of the little grandbuddies. :)

We procured all the lumber, then milled up all the blank pieces for the legs and side panels.

Here we go!
