Patron Version Video: The Craftsman Table Pt. 2 (Patreon)

Friends:

I’ll admit, this Craftsman Table was supposed to be a single video. I never expected it to sprawl the way it has. But doing the build “live” on camera and showing all the steps and mistakes just takes longer. I think it’s worth the effort, but I’ll let you be the judge.

Today, we’re doing the joinery. A standard half-lap would have worked, but I couldn’t resist throwing in the fancy “dovetail half-lap” we covered a few weeks ago. It’s just one more angle but it gives the whole piece a bit of flare.

In Part 3, we’ll make the top. That video is shot and Nate is hard at work editing it together. Next week, we’ll have a new Compass Rose product with early access and special Patron pricing. It’s a good one, and it’s the last new tool for several months.

See you next week!
