I have what I imagine my toughest challenge so far
I have an order for a thin table to go by the side of a sofa
800 L 180 W 570 T
they want it in 2 contrasting coloured timbers
the strips will be 36mm x 5 strips to make the 180mm width
all sounds simple and will be narrow enough to go through thicknesser once glued
a few questions please
I would like to mitre the ends so the stripes run accross the top and down the legs
is this achievable with an accurate scms? (i prefer power tools)
would you use dominoes to hold it together?
does it need a cross brace lower down? and if so how would you attach?
I will then need to scale this up for a 2nd build of a wider taller version, same questions as above
am I over thinking this? as I can see the mitred ends being a major challenge to get right
