woodworking coffee table book
A coffee table is one of those projects that has been on my to-do list for years now. The one we have now is a big monstrosity that actually came with a sectional sofa we bought 20 years ago. (Do they still make sectionals?) While it is ugly and dated, it has two features I do like: 1) Its on wheels, which makes it really handy to move around. 2) Its so old and ugly that nobody minds putting their feet on it!
Spencer Nugent sent over these pictures of a gorgeous black walnut and birch coffee table he just built. I really like this design, especially with the drawers. Coffee tables tend to accumulate clutter, so why not have drawers to pile it into when company comes over? Maybe I could even keep track of our remotes. Hmm...nah, I doubt it.
Thanks for the pics Spencer. Dovetails and all. Thats some sweet work. But I dont think I would let anyone plop their feet on it.
On an unrelated note, I was raking leaves on Sunday when my rake broke. I was just about to throw it in the trash when I remembered the suggestion for using the tines to make a kalimba! I cant wait to get started on Thumb Piano v2.0.
