       Build a Classy Table with Garrett Hack

Combine a classy side table with a fun drawer that opens in a tricky way. (But I’m not giving away any surprises yet!)  You have lots of opportunities to explore design, use hand tools to smooth and shape parts, and learn to make and support drawers. Experiment with joinery — not all of it square, and then focus on the all-important details. We’ll start with basic drawings and then move on to make patterns to shape the legs (with snazzy toes), fashion aprons — one with a drawer opening, and join the table together. The drawer involves lamination and some interesting dovetails, and the action is so much fun its more than worth the challenge.
