I guess you won't be making any more of those soon.What were the cost of
materials?

Well, at 60 pounds each, the shipping from Canada woulda been a killer.

Nice work indeed. The tops are a little bit bigger than I would have
made them... but that is a matter of taste.

The 'work' is nice. The actual build is well executed, but there is a
serious design flaw in the overall look of the table.
The flare at the top of the legs, plus the excessive rounded overhang
of the granite makes the whole design look like the Atlas with the
world on his back. It is like the tables are trying to push those tops
into the room. The whole thing has a pushy Teutonic feel to it.
Engineery... not elegant.

Thanks for the reply Mark. I've been toying with the idea of buying one for
a while now and with the Aussie $ appreciating as it has, now is probably a
good time to purchase.
The Woodrat also appeals, although it is more expensive.

Very much so. I don't know if it was technique or defect, but no matter
what I did, I could never get perfect dovetails from the Leigh. The newer
Leigh model may address the router support issue with one of its options,
but there were other error sources at work also.
The Akeda does require a bit of set-up adjusting, but not nearly as much.
The trade-off is that you need to design your elements in 1/8" steps for
things to come out even, you don't get the infinitely variable spacing of
the Leigh. I really don't view that as a huge detriment.

Thanks. Yes, the design is my own. The basic form (several drawers with
a shelf space between them and the end table top were inspired by a
commercial piece my wife saw. The number of drawers, plant-on panels, nad
arcs and curves are my design.

Thanks. Actually, the end tables are a good complement to the Arts &
Crafts style entertainment center that I finished several years ago. As
far as I'm concerned, the living room now has all of the furniture it will
ever need. ;-)

Exact breakdown is in the Excel file at the bottom of the page. Biggest
contributors were design time and dovetail calibration time. I think that's
fixed for next time with the changeover to the Akeda jig.
Cost of the materials: biggest cost was the granite tops coming in at
~$500. The rest of the materials were relatively modest, the drawer pulls
were also a large cost to the total. There are about $400 in lumber
(Tucson prices, so other places would be less) costs between both tables.
All told, each table has about $500 in material costs.

I guess I can't criticize. I went up to the Wildlife Safari in
Winston Oregon last month and ended up with 297 digital pics. I love
this Nikon D-40 I got last Christmas. It's so much quicker than the
old Coolpix 995 it ain't funny.

Of course not. But I've seen many a housewife (enough to never rent
one) get that look in here eye just after a new piece of anything hits
her home turf. You'll be doing so within the month, Mark.

De gustibus non disputandum. Looks better than the "looks like it's

Because I couldn't decide which ones not to use. I figured it took 2
years worth of weekends to make, a few more seconds to have the page load
wouldn't be *that* bad. I'll probably re-wicker the page in the future and

The primary reason for going with 3 shallow drawers was that we really
didn't need any more deep drawers for stuff to get lost in, particularly in
the living room. There is sufficient storage in the entertainment center
and elsewhere for big stuff. This was intended to hold smaller things like
remotes or other items not requiring cavernous space. Also, the piece just

Thanks. Since you mentioned you were considering something similar in the
future, there were two green granites that we considered, the first, "verde
butterfly" has similar pattern to the one we chose "verde uba tuba", but
the patterning is much larger. That would work well in a larger setting
such as a kitchen cabinet, the smaller patterning on the granite we chose,
IMO, worked better on a small piece, lending itself better to the scale of
the project.

Thing is the tops aren't rounded. They are flat with a bevel; the only
rounding is at the corners and that's an ergonomic (as in not wanting to
bump up against a sharp corner) consideration.

There is never a situation where having more rounds is a disadvantage

Outstanding tables, but why the 'lebenty seben pics of them on that
one page? Oh, when are you going to reupholster the couch and chairs
to match the tables? Ditto recarpeting?
Why did you go with 3 shallow drawers in each one vs a cavern, or a
cavernous single drawer? Just curious.
Another kudo for that green granite. 'sbooful.

My thoughts exactly. At least reupholster. :)
As for the end tables, gorgeous! Absolutely stunning. Is the design
your own? I love the non-straight vertical supports (I know zip about
furniture terminology).

Wow, Great job! When are you starting on the rest of the furniture to
match the end tables, and how long do you think it will take to finish
them? LOL

The uba tuba finishes the same as this with a much finer-grained finish.
