Pedestal stands build

[Brian Holcombe]

Good morning!

Sorry have not been chronicling the joinery or dimensioning of lumber. Everything so far has been dimensioned by hand from rough sawn lumber.

I cut the mitered edges freehand with a chisel, fallowed by smoothing the saw cut with a jack plane.

Fine tuned the foot to make sure everything sits 90 and does not rock.

Cut the top for through wedge tenons. A bit overboard for this, but I wanted one detail and this becomes a functional detail.

Tenons are cut, marked for the bridle joint of the center batten.

Trimming out the waste with a router plane. This was then fitted into the upright.

I was in the moment when building and attaching the feet, so I did not take pictures. They are attached with tapered sliding dovetails.

Very nice work Brian.

If I show my wife she will want me to build her some of these.

May try anyway.

Bonsai! Very good!

[Brian Holcombe]

Thanks guys!

They were pretty simple to make, I think all in it took about 4-5 days in the shop.
