End table project, problems fixed, and

Well, lots of problems to fight through today.   Door has been fine tuned to fit it's new home.   Involved a lot of handplane work,   I centered the panel to get rid of the gaps, then pinned it place. 

 

Was going to use the router to edge the sides and top with.....Could not get that #$@#$ collar out of the fixed base.  Ok, we have ways....

Since I had bought this as a kit, I had a plunge base with it.   Look right below the left handle, there are two plugs there.   Matched the grain exactly between the plugs and the spot where they went.  Pared off flat, sanded smooth( dried glue is a bear to get off planes)  Got some cleats installed,

and installed a floor, of sorts..

Didn't have enough plywood, so I hope this will do?  Last two corner blocks were installed, with glue & screws..corner_blocks.thumb.JPG.548df9b0fd92cf2f

And I cut some slots in all four of them.  Easy  enough to do, just drill a through hole, then rock the drill back and forth until a slot shows up.55ba8f0b4aba7_door_top.thumb.JPG.c5afac4

Reaching inside to screw the backtwo corner blocks in place was...interesting.   Good thing the screw held on to my driverbit. Got the door hung, adjusted, and a handle on board. Rounded the corners of the top with a beltsander.  Could have used the sabresaw, but the blade would deflect too much.  Installed the handle on the door.   Set this thing up on the bench, run the router around the sides I could get to, lift the beast up, roatae 180* and do what was missed. 

 

And ( drum roll, if you please) a PIP of this Enad Table in Oak

I even made a sample, for the Boss to lok at, of a coat of BLO....it looks a bit on the light side.   Up to her.  Have it sitting beside her chair right now.  Kind of leaves an empty feeling...

Been awhile since I've seen that much open space....

Awaiting Boss' orders on what to finish it with, then I might post as a Project, IF anyone wants...
