Pedestal Table Part IV

Pedestal Table Part IV

This is the fun stage where things start coming together and it begins to look like something.

I like to cut the dado's first, usually in several passes until I reach the desired depth.
Without changing the height of the blade I set the fence up for cutting the tongues.

Here again I make several passes until I reach the desired thickness of the tongue.

At this stage I like to dry fit everything together to check the fit.


Clamping this base together is a bit tricky. The blue clamps on the left are old Record clamps that have real deep jaws. There real nice and are some of my favorites, cant find them anymore.







So now we can see what its going to look like, pretty cool I think.












And here we are.......
