    Hello my friend,
    You've created a great table. These days, too, I have to make a table. You did a good job. Congratulations. See you all the time. I wish you healthy and happy days. Big greetings. Yours sincerely, Mehmet.

      In retrospect they are better this way 'cos full mitered tapered legs would have come out kind of like a weird dining table design. I'm glad it ended up this way now to be honest. Saved by the cock up 🤙🤙

      Cheers Bill mate. I honestly almost binned the legs because I wanted a heavier look originally than the cut down version. But I'm happy with that look now - heavier would have been too heavy. I was on the good side of karma this time, you could say.

      I think it may have looked a little odd having the chunky legs without an apron around it to fill out the top, as it looks narrow.
      Either way it turned out perfectly well for its purpose. 😉👍🏽

      Thanks mate. the shop is a lot more usable now, and over lockdown I've got access again to my "assembly" table - the one under my main bench with all the drills and routers in it - that can roll out from under there now. If you're doing tapers I've got a really shitty jig you can use (it is really shitty though)

    Nice job Rob, don't beat yourself up about the miter, getting the angles right is always tricky. I was impressed with the quality of the ply you used. Looks like it is unique to Kiwi Bunnies. Oz Bunnies seems to focus on structural stuff, if you want furniture grade you have to go to a specialist ply supplier it seems.

    • @TakamiWoodshop
      @TakamiWoodshop  4 года назад +1

      Hey Bob, the panel isn't available at all the stores but it's not too bad - and at $69 kiwibucks it's not ridiculously expensive either. As for the angles of the miter - that saga is way more sinister than just the angles - mores plot twists than a good Hitchcock that one! I hope to portray it all in my next vid.

      Hey cobber, well I think you're right about that - especially these veneered products - I mean - if it's veneered with oak, it's oak right!? Aesthetically they are very different though. Solid hardwood is just next level in terms of its potential to provide a good experience to its owner. For example, imagine if @Kuffy made the exact same design as this one out of hardwood how fucking awesomely incredible it would be. Materials + Craftsman skill = Whoah! My desk is functional and it looks nice. But you don't sit down at it and marvel at how awesome the universe is. If you know what I mean.
