February 15, 201115 yr comment_49444  Since I seem to do a lot of tables, maybe I should do a "How-to" blog on them?     I've got to go to a Senior Night for Craig tonight, but I'll check back in after that.   Maybe a series of how I make these little tables? Step-by-step sort of thing, ala "Norm"?    Let me know what you all think of the idea.   ( Of, course there will be photos, right?)

February 16, 201115 yr Author comment_49445 I've got one blog in, a second one is in the works.  My tables are built with a bit of "old school" tech.   Hand tapered legs, using a hand plane.    Mortises are just laid out, and a chisel does the work. A table top will get hand planed flat, rather than using a planer/drum sander.  Tenons are cut just on the tablesaw, by "nibbling" off the waste.  I use a single blade in the tablesaw.    The shop is not that well set up, I just make do with what I have.  If someone wants to make the items I post in some other woods, they are free to do so.  Now, as for the next Blog, any table you would like to see?
