hall table

I just finished our hall/sofa table. Its made from red oak and has 36 mortise and tenons. I use the jointmatic for the mortises and it worked out just fine. The tricky part was the glue up. I used titebond wood glue and it was starting to set up on me. It was a good thing my wife was right there to lend me an extra pair of hands and lots of clamps.

Beautiful job. At a glance, it didn't seem like it would have that many mortises.

I've been advised to sign my work. You never know. One day that signature might be very, very significant. Doing fine work like this, you just can't tell.

When Stickley first started, many of his projects were for his own use and for gifts. Got any Stickey in your hallway?

Very Nice!! I'm sure your wife is proud of you:)

Thanks for posting your pics directly to the thread. My filtering service doesn't like most of the image hosting sites out there, for obvious reasons!

Keep up the good work!

When one sees a project like this...."And you did it on Shopsmith?" "Yup" sez a lot.

Beautiful Mission style couch/hall table. Don't the joints that once gave you a hard time, now give you an added sense of accomplishment?

Also your beautiful job of finishing should make you proud, as well as your wife happy.

Scott:

That's a really fine piece of furniture!!

I often show my wife some of the projects posted on my forum sites, but I can't let her see this picture. She has been after me to make something similar for our dining room for two years. If she sees this, I will no longer be able to say it can't be done.

Again, nice job.

Scott,
Nicely done. That's a project that's been on my back burner for quite a while now.

Earlier this year my son-in-law attended a segmented bowl turning class at the Marc Adams school.

When he mentioned that he was going to obtain a stamp to identify his work, the instructor, a renouned woodturner, said " An artist signs his work".

Nuf said!

Scott,

That's a beautiful piece of work. Your skill and artistry both show off well in this project.

I love that style of furniture but know what you mean about how difficult it is to do glue-ups.

Great work! Congratulations.
