She is after a glass top table with a w effect in the timber base. i intend to use 600mm wide laminated oak at each end as the legs. These will be vertical. From the base of these will extend another two 600mm oak panels at, say, 40 deg to meet at the middle and create a central support for the glass. The glass will not be part of the structure therefore my three joints need to be solid and thererin lies my question. Any suggestions on these joints? ]]> Joinery hofmann http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f5/w-table-13208/ http://www.woodworkingtalk.com/f5/need-help-log-stair-railing-12993/ Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:48:19 GMT i am building a log railing with a post for my stairs. i will be purchasing a log tenon cutter, but i am having trouble finding a way to cut the... i am building a log railing with a post for my stairs. i will be purchasing a log tenon cutter, but i am having trouble finding a way to cut the angled mortise hole in the post.

i have thought of using a hole saw with a long pilot bit then chiseling out the center material, or trying a large wood auger bit.

any suggestions or experience with this type of project?

thanks for your help

I am trying to do something like this:

Do you think holding the roof to the front/sides and the sides/front to the base with glue is acceptable? Or how else would you recommend making these joints? I would have put screws through all of them, but I guess that is not "good technique" haha (and the result is much uglier!). Any suggestions/comments?

Thanks,

The glass is 64" x 22" x 1/2". The reason I'm using this glass is for it's insulation qualities as I need to keep the temperature around 85 degrees and humidity at about 80%. Since these panels are a little on the heavy side (30#) I'm wondering if anybody has any suggestioins on framing for them. I'm using red oak for the entire cabinet. As you can see the door frames have to be quite strong to hold the glass without sagging when the doors swing open. I've also considered makeing them sliders but still have to build a frame around the glass and then find rollers for them which I can't seem to find. Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

The bed is for a guest bedroom and will only be used a few times a year so I don't need the best hardware available.

Thanks

One of the big online woodworking stores (that starts with an 'R') sent me an offer for 20% off of one item. I have been thinking of adding a Kreg pocket hole kit to my shop. I have never used pocket holes so this is new to me, but they look like a useful technique and I see that a lot of you think they are great.

My question: I'm leaning toward their K4 system which I could get for about $80. Would this be a wise choice or should I go crazy and spring for the K3 master system? I would expect occasional use of this tool for hidden furniture joining and picture frames.

Thanks!
