Build-Along Series Part 4
🕑 Added 2024-07-10 11:00:05 +0000 UTCFriends:
Welcome to the Shaker Table Build-Along, Part 4. Today, we'll prepare the boards for the top and glue them up. It's a simple operation, but there are always a few tips to help out new builders.
If you're following along with this series, don't forget to drop by the Build-Along Thread on the forum. Lot's of good stuff there.
See you next Wednesday!

Just what I asked. Miss your comment!

Why didn't you do both boards together (bookends?) when planning the jointed edges?
Kenneth Carlile
For just a second, I thought we were actually going to see you use a jointer plane, but no! I've been fooled again! 😄

Always enjoy the builds even if I don’t build it myself. The skills transfer to other projects I do envision building this after finishing a major house project.
David Niebergall
Why spend so much time trying to get both boards square when you can plane both edges at the same time and the resulting edges will be complimentary and equal 90 degrees, one can be 88 and the other 92 and they will join flat. Hard to describe verbally, but works perfectly at the bench
John Shufelt
Thanks, Rex. Keep cool. The AC was not a problem at all, imo.
Gerald Eddy
Great as always! I am one of the few who like that dark heartwood but agree the matchup on those poplar pieces weren’t a good match!
Matt Evans-Koch
Thanks Rex. Good idea to leave the top unfinished until most of the build is complete. Love the grain in that poplar.
Dave West
Thanks Rex, Good stuff. Keep them coming.
Pete Gelpi
Really enjoying the series, thanks Rex.
Marc Barash
