    Well, my jig slipped.

    It looks like the errant route is at the back or the case? You might consider planing some walnut 1/8 thick, rip these 1/8 strips the width necessary to cover the route and pin them accross the back in front of the back panel like a decorative element.

    Steam bending

    "Poplar is a poor bending wood but it was on hand (BORG stuff)." Ash or Beech will work better.

    Help think through large cookie dining table

    In this picture the Mickey Mouse shape looks better to me using it as is. It's going to be very difficult to get it into a house, and the floor might require some additional support.

    Help think through large cookie dining table

    It would be impressive if you could pull it off. 1 - Sahpe- Are you going to leave it in its current shape? It doesn't seem like a good shape for people to talk comfortably in its current shape.. Maybe you could cut it and add something to the center to get it into more of a "rectangular"...

    Remember the Golden Rule of propotions when you build

    First Pass Bed Design - Please provide feedback

    First Pass Bed Design - Please provide feedback

    Going to comment one more time, nothing personal. I vote against the double rails on the foot in your second version, you only need a top cap and a top and bottom rail like your first version. Keep the footboard ht at you bedding height, I think it is a little to high now. Make the bottom...

    First Pass Bed Design - Please provide feedback

    Looks pretty good. I would make your side rails 82" long, queen mattress is 80" long. 1 3/4 posts are a little light, but fine structurally. Draw them 2 1/2 x 1 3/4 just to compare easy to do at this stage. Make sure your headboard is tall enough, putting a lot of work into this bed, make...

    Review this kitchen table design?

    i think your overall design looks good. The Keyed tenons are an important design feature. Make sure you have enough allowance for the bench base to fit "comfortably" between the table base. Minimum 1 1/2" each side or so. How wide is the bench top? Don't go to wide on that, maybe consider a...
