Nice work gumby. Nice proportions. I agree that it would have looked a little spindly without the rails.
w.r.t. the tapering, how much did you taper off? Is the bottom of the taper 1/2 the width of the top? 1/4?
Cheers

Thanks Trav,

Square top, sqaure legs , rectangular top, rectangular legs. It seems to make sense but I'm open to other ideas.If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

Makes sense to me too. Did you cut the tapers on a TS or through a thicknesser?

TS, using a quickly made up taper jig. (Never done them on a thicknesser and i'm trying to visualise how. An angled base to sit them on, raising one half higher I suppose?) Originally Posted by Trav

That's the way I do it too.
I've heard/read about people on here doing it through a thicknesser, but not having a thicknesser, I'm not sure of the process.

Not sure how much money you'd get if you sued a side table. Perhaps in the US...? Originally Posted by junkboy999
