I didn't mention in in my first post, but the chamfer idea, mentioned by several after me, I use a lot in this application. I almost never apply feet either as I feel it somewhat detracts from the...

They won't be curves, they will be 30 or 45 degree miters that you will make curves after the glue has dried. I would make a template that is the exact curve of the entire chair back. Do NOT use a...

One thought I had was what about building them in layers of say 1 to 1-1/2" tall and stacking them. You could easily build a template, rough cut on the bandsaw and flush trim, then stack them until...

I don't use my DP a ton, but a chuck like the Llambrich makes a good drill press a great one. There is exactly one thing that should be built well on a DP and that is the chuck. Most DP machines...

It’s just a preference/choice and depends on your workflow. I’m a huge fan of drawers and Systainers to keep things in their place, organized and dust free. My workflow is methodical and...

Personally I think added handles make things difficult to clean and take up space. I prefer to integrate them into the design. For rectangular designs I will sometimes add brass feet that makes it...

I absolutely love my Llambrich. Incredibly precise and easy to use. I bought mine from Penn Tool Co.

Let us know what you decide and post pictures in the project sub-forum. This table isn't my style, but I guess I'd lean to wood only and forgo any complexity. My grandpa made a table that 50+ years...

Epoxy generally is easier, but like anything, there are application rules and guidelines that if you don't follow, results will be less predictable.

I've used miles of this stuff. It is the only tape I would use/recommend.

Pretty cool. Do you have a link to the stand-offs you used for hanging?

I use figure-8 when attaching ply because I worry less about movement and they are pretty easy to install. If I'm using a hardwood top, z-clip is where it's at. They allow for much more movement...

Well figure-8 fastener is an option of course. If you have a plunge router you can do it with that too. As pointed out a biscuit jointer also works, which I personally don't need since I own a...

I use these and the cool part is you can use your Domino and 4mm bit to create the pockets. And even better news is that if you don't have a Domino, it's a good excuse to get one :D

I agree with Jim. However when you say "I was thinking that the high clamping pressure might make epoxy a great choice, but may be mistaken there for this application.", remember that epoxy doesn't...

I would use 4. Two top half, two bottom half.

Very nice design Eric.

I personally would use z-clips to attach the top. The design you have there is quite similar to a typical table with apron. It's a tried and true technique that will work...

That's quite the space you have there! What would you say you build most frequently in your shop?

Yea, not a fan of TB III myself. I don't like the glue line consistency/color/residue. It's a fine glue, but after using nearly a gallon of it, I switched to TB II (extend) or TB Quick and Thick as...

That looks great. Looking forward to seeing the drawer fronts pull it together.

Oneida Mini Gorilla would be my first choice. Powerful, cyclone, small footprint and since it is mobile, you could use it elsewhere if/when needed. They have 240 and 120v options. A lot of...

Well said Malcolm. I like that I can adjust the overall size depending on what I’m doing too. Repeated measuring is not the best way to accuracy. Setting up once and repeatedly using it is a much...

It’s expensive for sure, but for layout, particularly for multiple items, and transferring measurements it excels well beyond a tape.

First thought was an insert that could cover any type of sleeve you used. Something like this:
...

Personally I would use epoxy and medium hardener to minimize any potential warping using any water-borne glues. With a long open time of epoxy it should be easy to get the drawer perfectly aligned...
