An Introduction

[Richard Danckaert]

Good Afternoon fellow Creekers.For a while now I've been a lurker,but decided to join a couple of months ago.Nice bunch of people here.I've waited till I got a chance to take some pictures of some of my work.Here are some pics of a cherry side table I made while taking a 1 week course with craftsman Hendrik Varju.I consider myself as a newbie,woodworking off and on for the last 5 years.
It is forums like this that speed up the learning curve.

Cheers,
Rich

welcome to the creek..
there are a bunch of nice folks here. no sniping that I can see. your project looks pretty good for a "newbe". The flutes look real good. It is hard not to burn cherry if you did it with a router. The little cock bead is also a nice touch. you will be able to ask questions and learn a lot here from some of the really good ww's. So, now that your done with this what is next?

kind regards

Wow, that is just what I am looking for. My wife wants a table like that for the bedroom. I may have to copy it. I really like the details. Can you post some general dimensions? Did you taper all four sides of the legs?

[Jeff Sudmeier]

Rich,

That table looks great! I really like the sapwood in the top, really sets it off!

[Wes Newman]

Richard, Welcome aboard, hope to see some more pics like that soon!!

Welcome to the Creek! :) Very nice job on your table. You are right, there are a large amount of nice people here. However the picture police do get a bit testy if you don't post photos of your work. :D :D

Hi Bill,

The overall dimensions of the table is 16"x32"x30" tall.The legs are 2 pieces laminated together to create 2" square.The legs are tapered on all 4 sides starting 3.25" from the top , tapering down to 1" square.Aprons are 3" wide attached to the legs using dowels.

Thanks everyone for looking,and for the kind words.

Thanks alot! That sounds just about perfect. I'm going to send the pictures to my wife right now to see what she thinks. I have a feeling she'll like it too.
