table joints and tenon
Hello,
I have been making a small table for placing the telephone on. It is similar to the shaker table I have previously posted here but as well as the draw it will have a shelf. The tenons only have a 3/16" (showing my age there) shoulder so I cut them with a Lie-Nielsen 140 skew block plane . I find it quicker and more accurate to do it this way and the result doesn't need a lot of clean up.

Even though this is a small table the joints I used are commonly used in larger tables. I have cut these by hand - tenons, mortises and dovetails.

Nicely done, Geoff I admire hand work.
I might do it that way myself, if I owned a plane. But all the talk of #5's and #7's and 140's and 99's and 32's and Stanley's and Lie-Nielson's and what have you makes my head hurt.Cheers,
Bob

I didn't particularly want to use screws so I set the shelf in rebates.

Beautifully detailed work - well done. In the second photo it looks like the shelf has a bevel on it but I can't see it in subsequent photos. Are my eyes deceiving me?
Cheers

G'day Thornburn,
The second photo is of the bottom of the shelf to show the way I overcame that bevel- basically removing it from the equation. What isn't very obvious is that there is a taper on the leg which meant that the notch in the shelf had to have a 2degree slope to the cuts.
I took the photos to remind myself how I had done the job and thought you blokes might be interested. Thanks for the comments.
Waldo- you don't think I posted any photos of my cockups do you? So don't hang those tools up ... just send them to me... I couldn't bear to think of them rusting away.
Bob - I know what you mean about all those model numbers so I just bought all that Mr Lie-Nielsen made, now my head doesn't hurt.

I like the "locking dovetailing side panel tenon hooker thingie" you made there. That's ash right???? What are you thinking about for a finish. One of the pieces I'm building now is ash veneer. If that is ash(?) I know the veneer will respond to finish differently than the solid, but are you going natural or coloring???
Thanks..........Neil

G'day Neil,
It is North American ash and I was thinking of trying blond shellac and wax. I want to keep that pale colour-I'll try it on scrap pieces. Other option is to try a wax only finish. I am trying to avoid that prominent yellowing you can get but I think it may not be possible..Next thing is a posting to the finishing section of the blog.
That joint is in Ernest Joyce's "Encyclopedia of Furniture Making" Fig 243.
Good luck with yours.

A classic case of doing it the hard way,but good luck on choice of plane,I think the way one holds ones mouth also enters argument.
