After a few (ok, a dozen) headaches, I've completed my first "real" project, a Walnut coffee table.
Up until now, I've just built a few simple shelves, while practising other skills (mainly bandsawing curves and turning on the lathe).
I patterned the table after one built by my grandfather about 40 years ago my father recently found in a local antique shop.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with the results, although the camera is quite kind. There are definately some things I need to do better (especially glue lines and the mortises for the legs).
Thanks to everyone who offered me help on the project; even those that didn't respond to my questions helped out through all the informative posts found here. this place is awesome!
All comments and critiques are welcome ... let me know what you all think:)
