Patron Version Video: The Craftsman Table Pt. 2

I’ll admit, this Craftsman Table was supposed to be a single video. I never expected it to sprawl the way it has. But doing the build “live” on camera and showing all the steps and mistakes just takes longer. I think it’s worth the effort, but I’ll let you be the judge.
Today, we’re doing the joinery. A standard half-lap would have worked, but I couldn’t resist throwing in the fancy “dovetail half-lap” we covered a few weeks ago. It’s just one more angle but it gives the whole piece a bit of flare.
In Part 3, we’ll make the top. That video is shot and Nate is hard at work editing it together. Next week, we’ll have a new Compass Rose product with early access and special Patron pricing. It’s a good one, and it’s the last new tool for several months.
See you next week!

My immediate takeaway from this video is that you have much stronger fingers than I do, Rex! Also, your Florip in cherry is gorgeous. Mine's walnut and I love it, but the cherry is gorgeous. I love this new slow format, as well. One question on the assembly--normally I put at least some finish on parts that are at angles to one another before I glue them up, because it's hard to get in the corners of the joins. I'm curious how you're going to tackle this.

I’m rather enjoying the series. The depth covered and lack of rush is quite nice.
