Great job Skin Man!

Getting anxious to see the handle/knob/pull thing!!! whatever you want to call it

I suppose you could use some dowels to pin the legs, but if your dovetails are nice and snug, just some glue should keep them from going anywhere.

It's a pleasure to see your progress & thanks for keeping us posted.

thanks Rick!

LOL now i have to come up with something sweet. I went to a Silver shop recently to see if they had any pulls with no luck. So my feeling is that i'll build something from Purple heart, or Kingwood and see how it looks.

moving right along, I'm working my way around the skirt (funny how its just as expensive when woodworking!) and about ready to put in some dowels.

I would not pin the legs...I would leave them loose. At some point in it`s life, it may need to be moved...re-finnished...or shipped. Also you already have pins that are visible...keep it clean. Rick

Woops too late,

I'll just say they're speed holes.

The legs are glued also, so no harm done by pinning on top of it.

What will you do for those cracks which were showing side. I think you should use something to fill it up.

What do you think ? or you want to give it a raw look.
