I started on the first piece of furniture for myself.
It's going to be a round table with a 3-legged base. Originaly it was going to be a 4 legged base, but seeing something went awry on one of the legs i ended up changing the design and all the better for it too i think.
First i did the legs. cut the shoulders for the tenons and drilled the holes for the pegs. Then i rounded the legs, they're also tapered towards the bottom, not very clear in the pictures though. Rounded them with a router setup. Big table and small disks stuck to the ends of the blanks.
Next up were the stretchers. Because of the taper on the legs, the shoulders are at an angle. Did this on the tablesaw.
Then after some more work on the stretchers here are some detailed pictures of the leg-strecther joint.
The stretchers will go together like so :
I'll use pegs to finish the stretcher joints.
