I made a start today on one of the three nest of tables which will match the Tv unit I have recently finished. I am afraid I have no WIP photos as yet but thought you might want to see the dry fit as far as I have got with it.   You will notice I have kept with the cove detail around the apron and legs although the legs look a little lighter than the TV unit. The top has the same detail around the edge.  I decided to attach the top with buttons as you will see but on reflection think I may use pocket hole screws to give more depth underneath for the next table top.  Of course if anyone has any better suggestions it may help. |

Well I got back in the worshop today and had a very productive day again. I started on the second table and got it finished:  So I thought I would carry on a little longer and got the third table almost completed.  They nest together well too.  Ignore the piece of timber under the feet as it was just there to hold them up for the photo. I decided to attach the top at the front edge with biscuits and use buttons for the rear and sides to allow for movement. Of course nothing is glued up yet so hence the timber under the feet. I still have the aprons on the small table to put the moulding on and a lower front rail for the small table which I forgot! Duh! Should get some more done tomorrow with any luck. ;D |

I have spent the last couple of days finishing the tables and finally have them done. I am now letting the glue set to hold the front part of the top on. then it is a quick clean up and on to the customer.   Now it is back on to the bedroom suite.  |

Blimey, Mailee, that sounds way too cheap to me - doubt if it pays for your time, let alone materials, consumables, tools and stuff. I doubt that your customer would have made that for you at that price........ Nice tables, by the way. Cheers Paul |

If these had been in a decent hardwood then they would retail at well over £200 for the set. Pine is worth far less even though the skill required is similar and the effort very little different. Sad isn't it?
