Begin by laminating andmachining the legsNote: For an authentic look,

choose straight grain or rift-cut

stock, preferably white oak, for all

the pieces of this project.

1 To form the 2"-square legs (A),cut 12 pieces of " stock to 2 by

19". (Using thesedimensions, thepieces are oversized" in width and 1"in length so you cantrim flush the edgesand ends of the legs later.) See theLeg drawing at rightfor reference.2 Spread an even coat of glue onthe mating surfaces of the threepieces making up each leg. Withthe edges and ends flush, glue andclamp the pieces face-to-face to

form the four legs.3 Cut or plane an equal amount offboth edges of each leg for a 2"finished width. Then, trim bothends of each leg for an 18" finishedlength.4 Lay out the mortises on the out-side surface of each leg wheredimensioned. (To ensure any pos-sible chip-out would be on theinside surface and covered by therail and stretcher tenon shoulders, we marked the mortisess on theoutside surfaces. We also drilledfrom the outside surface so the bitcame through on the inside.)5 Attach a wood top and fence to your drill-press table. Using a "brad-point bit, drill holes inside themarked mortises. Square-up themortises with a chisel. You couldalso form the mortises with a mor-tiser.6 Rout a " chamfer along the topand bottom end of each leg.

Machine and assemblethe end frames1 Cut the upper and lower rails (B)to the sizes listed in the Bill ofMaterials from " stock.2 Fit your tablesaw with a " dadoblade, and cut a " groove fi"deep, centered along one edge ofeach rail. See the End Frame draw-

ing and accompanying detail forreference.3 Switch to a wider dado blade onyour tablesaw. Then, attach a long wooden extension to your table-saws miter gauge, and square theextension to the blade. Using astop for consistency, cut rabbets to

form tenons on the ends of therails (B ). (We test-cut scrap stockfirst to ensure a tight fit of thetenons into the leg mortises.) Seethe Tenon detail accompanyingthe End Frame drawing for dimen-sions.4 Carefully sand or file the cham-fers on both ends of the throughtenons on the rails (B), where

shown on the Tenon detail. If youhave a small laminate-trim router,use a chamfer bit in it to machinethe tenon ends.5 Cut the center slats (C) and nar-rower side slats (D) to size. Usingthe Parts View onPage 8, transferthe cutout location to each center

slat. Drill a blade start hole, andscrollsaw the openings to shape.6 To form the spacers (E, F) cut apiece of stock to " thick by fl" wide by 48" long. Then, crosscutthe spacers (E, F) to length fromthis strip.7 To assemble the end frames,start by finding the center (fromend-to-end) of each rail, and mark a

centerline across the grain.Starting with the center slat (C)centered over the centerline onthe bottom rail (B) and workingfrom the center out, add (no glue)the spacers (E, F) and the slats (D).Add the top rail (B). Trim the spac-ers if necessary. Then, fit (again,

no glue) the assembly into the legmortises to check the joinery.8 Sand the legs and end framepieces. Next, glue and clamp thetwo frames together, checking forsquare as shown inPhoto A.

Add the cleats andstretchers next1 Cut the cleats (G) to size.2 Mark the locations, and machinea pair of screw expansion slots oneach cleat where dimensioned on

the Parts View drawing. Mark thecenterpoints, and drill counter-sunk holes through each cleat.Screw the cleats to the inside faceof each top rail (B), keeping thetop edge of the cleats flush withthe top edge of the rails. Thereshould be a " gap between theends of the cleat and the legs, soyou wont see the cleat when thetabletop is attached later. See theNotch detail on the Parts View for

reference.3 Cut the stretchers (H) to size.Cut tenons on the ends of thestretchers to fit snug inside themortises in the legs. See the Tenondetail accompanying the ExplodedView drawing for reference. Next,cut or rout " chamfers on theends of the tenons.4 Glue and clamp the stretchersbetween the end frames, keepingthe frames square to the stretch-ers.

Edge-join pieces for asolid-stock top1 Cut four pieces of 1" stock to5" wide by 47" long. Joint theedges of the four boards so thateach measures 5fl" wide.Note: Because of the weight and

size of the tabletop, we found it

more manageable to bandsaw

After checking the fit of all the pieces, glue and clamp the end frame,checking for square.

Notice the "-thick spacers between the end-frame legs and tabletop.We used the spacers to center the top on the base when screwing theassemblies together.

2 Mark a centerline across two ofthe boards. Measuring from thecenter out (you need to do this

because the boards are cut longat this point), mark the loca-

tions of the notches on one

of the boards. Now, asshown in Step 1 of thethree-step drawing atletf, clamp two of theboards together, align-ing the centerlines.Use a framing square

to transfer the notch locationsonto the second board. Removethe clamps, and bandsaw thenotches in each board to shape.3 Edge-join one notched boardagainst a second unnotched board,

keeping the surfaces flush. SeeStep 2 of the drawing for refer-ence. Repeat for the remainingtwo boards4 Remove the clamps and scrapeoff the excess glue. Crosscut theends of both table halves for a 46"long finished length, so that thenotches measure 2" long. Now,being careful to keep the ends andnotches aligned as shown in Step 3of the drawing, glue and clamp thetwo tabletop halves together,again checking to see that the sur-faces are flush. Later remove theclamps, scrape off the excess glue,and sand the tabletop smooth.5 Rout a " chamfer along the top

of the tabletop (I). On the insidecorners of the notches, youll

need to use a sharp chisel tosquare-up the chamfer.

seasonal humidity changes.

3 Stain as desired. (We usedMinwax Provincial #211, a good

choice for imitating that time peri-od.) Or, see our Arts-and-Crafts

fumeless finish article in theNovember 1998 issue of WOOD

starting onpage 74. Apply the fin-ish. (We brushed on several coats

of satin polyurethane.)

Finish-sand, stain, andclear-coat the table1 Finish-sand the table base andtabletop. (We sanded with 100-,

150-, and finally 220-grit sandpa-

per, using a bright light, in ourcase a halogen, at a low angle to

check the surfaces for sandingmarks. Another method we use to

check for sanding marks is tolighlty damped the surface with

lacquer or paint thinner, then takea close look at it.)

2 Place a blanket on your work-bench top, and place the tabletop

(I) upside down on the blanket.

Center the base (also upsidedown) on the tabletop, keeping

the gaps around the notches even.

Using the holes and slots in the legcleats as guides, drill pilot holes

into the bottom side of the table-top, and screw the assemblies

together as, shown in Photo B.Center the screws in the slots,

tighten them, then back them offabout half a revolution. You wantthe screws to be able to move back

and forth in the slots as the table-
