Oooh another build
shall watch with interest, WW
Lucky not many of the reclusive penturners wander into this area
but I reckon I'd get a nice pen out of that second bit
Powerscourt - I reckon that anything from Wicklow is claimed to come from Powerscourt - even my family if you believe my Aunt We were probably caught borrowing something "from Powerscourt"
That shell motif sort of appears in the coat of arms but even that is probably a furphy.
If anybody has Ray's wheelchair on their shoulders can they please give it back - he's got to nip out and get the anzacsregards

I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

A George II Irish Elm Dressing Table – Part Two
The paper patterns I made of the dressing table in the late eighties were showing their age, so I took the precautionary step of carefully transcribing them onto some hardboard. Once completed, I laid out the leg profiles onto some 2-3/4" square elm stock. While the legs were still square – and easily clamped to the bench – I chopped out the various mortices and dovetail sockets.
I cut out the caprine legs on the bandsaw and then set to with a drawknife and spokeshave until all four cabriole legs were roughed out.
Roughed-out legs.
The trifid foot is an agreeable departure from the more customary round pad foot seen on cabriole legs. The front of the foot consists of a large, central toe flanked by two smaller, supplementary toes.
The three toes.
The heel of the trifid foot remains quite angular, but more acute than the leg stock's right-angled corners. If the heel is left as a right-angle, the foot appears overly wide and clumsy when viewed approaching-, or from, the front. Making the angle more acute is a deceptive coup that enlivens the whole foot.
Trifid soles.
I planed up the rest of the stock for the carcase and formed the tennons on the ends of the apron before cutting the convoluted shape into its lower edge. Tennons were also formed on the back and side carcase panels and their lower edges were shaped too.
I dry-assembled the carcase and laid out the two central dovetailed drawer kickers and the other drawer guide locations. The tops of the legs will be left square in section until the carcase has been glued together so the clamps can get some purchase.
The complete carcase ready for gluing together.

"All eight big-ears present and correct," thought Noddy.
I rather enjoy the 'ready to assemble' photographs!
