My thinking here was that I would rather have a full 3/4” thickness and a very slight, probably unnoticeable once assembled, bow on the final length pieces rather than joint and plane the bow out and be left with thinner material. Rather than chasing the bow out of the board at the jointer I decided to just skip plane it down to the final 3/4” thickness. The only piece I had left was already planed to 7/8” thickness and it unfortunatley had a little bit of a bow to the board. What I’m doing here is marking the location for each of the sliding dovetails as well as a carpenters triangle in the middle to instantly let me know where each individual piece belongs at a quick glance. I couldn’t get any better than this even if I tried to pick out stock. But as it turned out, the leg blanks were 100% perfect with matching rift sawn grain all the way around. That means I don’t really have a choice about grain direction. Then it’s over to the bandsaw to rip the blanks into about 1-5/8” square.Īnd then back to planer to establish a 1-1/2” thickness in both directions.Īt the miter saw station a fresh 90 degree end is established and then the legs are cut to the final length.Īs I already said, this material is just left over material from the table build.
First jointing one wide face and then both adjacent narrow faces. The majority of work will be done to the ambrosia maple so that’s where I’ll start. The base will be the same design but the top will be a little more interesting. The overall style of the bench will be slightly different than the table. This is actually all that I have left and as it turns out it is the exact amount I need. The bench frame will be made from the same ambrosia maple stock I used for that build. Today I’m making a matching bench to use the table as a quick laptop station in the house.

You can save $150 off a purchase of the PantoRouter with the code JAY.Ī couple years ago I made a mahogany and ambrosia maple sofa table. Program work is completed in a 50,000 square foot state-of-the art facility using modern equipment.While the purpose of this video is to make a bench and not to be an advertisement for the PantoRouter I did use it for all of the joinery in this project. Through active, hands-on learning you will gain practical knowledge of the equipment, as well as best practices used in CNC programming within a variety of industrial settings. This one-year Ontario College Certificate will provide you with the skills to apply CNC techniques to develop programs for various CNC equipment such as beam saws, nesting routers, point-to-point machining centers, drills and dovetail machines. If you have an interest in the woodworking industry and a desire to program and set-up CNC machines, this program is well-suited for you. Today's secondary wood manufacturing sector strongly benefits from the use of computerized numerical control (CNC) equipment in areas such as architectural millwork, kitchen cabinets, and furniture components. To effectively participate in remote learning, students in this program must have reliable Internet access and meet these device requirements.
