I recently put an antenna in the attic and now we can get rid of one of the cable boxes on the kitchen TV. The controls for the antenna are in the living room and I needed a table for the TV in there and it had to have a shelf for the antenna control under it ( it is a powered antenna) I made the table out of red oak that I had squirreled away in the barn. I tapered the legs on 2 side and doweled the legs into the aprons under the top and the shelf is held in with pocket screws. It is finished with satin poly.
This is my taper sled I used to taper the legs:
This is my dowel jig I used to drill the dowel holes in the legs and aprons:

Nicely done! I like that tapering jig - looks like it can handle any task. I also see you continue to use your laser. I'm really starting to consider that as a shop addition (held back in part by my lack of knowledge along with space limitations and anticipated cost).
Very nice Jim! Simple yet elegant!! I made a table almost like it and also have a jig very similar to yours. I was just having a musing where furniture stores probably gasp when a woodworker walk in. LOL.
Nice table, like the shelf addition and the engraving - Made in the USA. My daughter requested a small table for beside her couch, this looks like my solution.
