The tripod table as well doesn't have any screws and mostly uses dowels.

Lovely work Josh, its good to see the younger generation taking such keen interest, I'm sure you will do excellent in your exams mate!.

Josh, since you are interested in the no glue/screws method of making furniture (as am I) I'll suggest two other online sources that you may or may not know about:

The late Chris Hall. Absolutely superb craftsmanship.

July 2018 – The Carpentry Way

And Jon Billings. Also wonderful craftsmanship with designs that probably are more accessible to beginning woodworkers.

Thanks for the links, the no glue/screw method sounds interesting, I can't stand waiting for glue to dry.

Dont leave us in the lurch young fella.
Now that some have offered advice we want to go through this with you, shall we say independant advisors that teachers shouldnt know about.

Seriously we love photos of projects of failures and triumphs. We all learn something everyday.

Don't You worry the assistance has majorly helped. Thanks to eveyerone I finished the drawings yesterday and just have to finialise the Kumiko today, I'm doing 10mm rebates where the panels connect to the 40mm frame. As well I'm doing dowel joints where the seat slats connect to the smaller frame which holds everything together.

Thanks to everyone's help I've completed the design drawings and ordering timber within the next few days.
Attached is photos of finilised drawings.
Thanks everyone.
