Made this a few years ago myself. Mostly with my Shopsmith, since we were about to move and I’d sold most of the other tools. Floating tenon (DIY domino, basically) on the joint.
Looks nice! For people that are lazy/untalented, an IKEA banana stand works as well
Personally I’m a fan of the free “leaving my headphones on the keyboard”
That looks great! I’ve never gotten to work with pecan before, how’s the workability?
It’s basically hickory. Cuts nice, but hell on tools. This batch of lumber was supposed to be for a desk, my great move into proper (if simple) furniture. Instead, I killed a set of jointer blades trying to set it up, jacked up something when trying to set the new ones, and sold off most of the boards with the tools. I have since moved onto an insert-head jointer, but frankly my shop has been missing me lately.
I’ll have to keep that in mind before trying it. I just got everything resharpened from working with wenge. That stuff made me wish for hickory
Pecan works well in pies, but walnut is better for brain health.
Very nice work! How are the two members jointed?
He said used a floating tenon joint (domino)
Ah thas right, thanks.
