Saw this in a recent copy of Woodsmith and Grandson had just purchased and moved into his first home, a townhouse in Atlanta.
Thus a house warming gift for him, also made a second for Granddaughter, it left the shop the day it was done, no pictures of it. The two tables were identical.
The design is supposedly Arts and Crafts era with Roycroft Influence. I just liked the challenge of the Tusk Tenons and the square miters in the uprights and Tusk Tenons. The entire table is basically held together with the wedges.
Made from Cherry. Top is 5/4 stock 34 inches wide by 16 inches deep. Shelves are 3/4 inch thick, 8/1/2 inch wide with a 3/8 inch back edge to keep items from being pushed off. The Tusk Tenons are 2 inches long. Stands 32 inches tall.
The legs comprised of 2 uprights mortised into the feet and top apron. 3 screws hold the top to the apron.
Used a drill press mounted mortiser to cut all the mortises, cleaned and tapered tusk tenons with hand held chisel. The outer edge of the mortise in the tusk tenon is tapered to fit the taper of the wedge. Cut the leg tenons on the tablesaw, the tusk tenons on the bandsaw. 16 square cornered miters that show in each table, 4 in the apron and 4 in the feet
Wedges are 3/8 inches thick by 3/4 inches wide and 3 inches long.
Finished with poly, 4 coats buffed and waxed.
By taking the screw out holding the top on, then removing the wedges the table breaks down to one top 2 uprights and 2 shelves with 8 wedges. Easy transport.
