Got Me Some Shop Time no comments

Topics:Inlay, Projects, Woodworking, federal

Saturday I got to spend some time in the shop so I took advantage of it by installing the legs on the federal card table I’m building.

I made bridal joints for the front two legs in addition to mortise & tenon joints for the back to. (Back legs are attached to swing arms.) Then I assembled the pieces together.

Here are a few random photos from the install.

Installing Spacer & Brace For Swing Arms

Gluing Mortise & Tenons

Cutting Pins for Swing Arms

Test Fit Prior To Assembly

Next I’m going to have to mill the lumber for tops…

Pateraes Update no comments

Topics:Inlay, Plans, Projects, Woodworking, federal

Well after 24 hours I unclamped them, gave them a light sanding & wiped them down with mineral spirits.

Sorry the photo stink but it shows off the idea. (BTW The pateraes aren’t that dark!)

Installing Pateraes one comment

Topics:Inlay, Projects, Woodworking, federal

Today I got another chance to get into the garage for a bit so I could work on the inlay table. (That seems I’ll never finish!)

Lucky for me today’s task was short & sweet so there was no excuses for not completing the install of the pateraes into the 2 front legs.

Now the pateraes I’m cheating on. They’re store bought so all I had to do was pop them out.

From there I centered them on my leg & using a small spacer block (to protect the paterae I clamped them to my leg.

From here I used my xacto knife to cut a groove around the paterae. Then after I removed the clamp & cut the line deeper into the leg.

Next I set the depth of my small router plan (I love this tool BTW!) to a bit stronger than the paterae thickness & started plowing out the material.

Using some sandpaper & a small chisel I test fit the piece into the hole. Making sure to keep a nice tight fit.

Then using liquid hide glue, I glue the pateraes in & set a pressure block (with tape on it to make sure the glue doesn’t stick) on top of them & clamp for 24 hours.

Tomorrow when I get home from work I’ll sand everything down & start marking the parts for installation.

Hopefully I also get to spend a bit more time both in the shop & on this project…
