Zigzag dining table - WIP

**Rocker** · 9th November 2007, 11:13 AM

An article on building this table and the matching zigzag chairs is now published in the current issue (November 2007) of the British magazine Router and Power Woodworking. Living as I do in the sticks, I am not sure whether the magazine is generally available here.

Although the table was in fact built using a Domino for the joinery, the article describes using a router and my morticing jig to rout the mortices for the floating-tenon joinery. The version of the chairs decribed in the article has a single large locking tenon, rather than three smaller ones, as in the Domino version.

Rocker I think its an excellent design timber looks great

as for the magazine try online or a major newsagent I am sure I have seen it but only in large city ones it will be expensive

Here is a version of the article with most of the photos deleted so that the file is small enough to post here. The published article also described building the zigzag chairs. This version describes the table only; an article on building the chairs can be found on the Festool USA website - Google Festool USA Zigzag.

Still a great thread even after all this time

Thanks, Lignum. The table and a set of six zigzag dining chairs are now in my niece's dining room in England.
