small altar table

[moji]

Here's some pics of a just finished project. A small altar table which fits in a niche hence the small size.

Basically made of plywood with hardwood edges.
Using a shopbuilt straight edge, cutting sheets of plywood is manageable with good results.

Plywood cut to size. Using a straightedge also helps prevent tearout in plywood when cutting crosscut

Assembly of the table. Since the project called for something close to 50mm thickness i used 3 layers of 3/4" ply sandwiched together. I just used strips of 3/4 ply in the middle as a whole piece would have been wastefull.

Since this was to be painted semi-duco, masilya was needed to have a smooth finish. Making my own masilya made sanding a lot easier.

Painted enamel using a roller. I don't normally use enamel because of its long drying times but had no choice.

I gave it a run already, i made a test box..But i made box joints not dovetails though..hehe

[timber715]

the reason I asked if they were nailed is because when I used stikwell, it never seemed to dry completely... must be a bad batch I got before...

Oh i see..must have been a bad batch, the stickwell dried up pretty good on this one.
