Sideboard Top Check In

Posted on February 26, 2013

3 Mahogany boards were joined using extra long floating tenons and high quality adhesive.  Because of the ups and downs in the weather over the weekend, we left newly created top in the clamps for a few days.  Today the shop monkeys are working on final dimensions, creating and setting up the required templates for final shaping etc.

Retooling for Next Steps

Posted on February 21, 2013

We’ve been a bit quiet for the last couple of weeks because we’ve been in the shop retooling for the next big step in the Custom Mahogany Sideboard project.  The sideboard is fairly long.  Upon reflection, the setup we had didn’t safely allow for cutting and routing boards of this length.   To resolve the issue, we’ve upgraded the router table and table saw wing.  While we were at it, we upgraded the router table’s fence to allow for incredible precision.

Things are all now all setup and dialed in and the table top rough lumber is being dimensioned today.

Carcass is Drying

Posted on February 4, 2013
Mortises

The main carcass of the sideboard is glued and drying.  We’ve used some high performance glue and since this is such a critical part of the build and the weather has been a little strange (large temperature swings, some rain and humidity yo-yoing)  we’re letting it sit and cure for a good while to be absolutely positive everything is permanently set and attached.  At this point, this piece is well over one hundred pounds, so we do not want to rush things unduly.
