Woodworking Beginnings
Hey everyone! I just wanted to share my first real project I made in a woodworking class (technically my second if you count the starter box we made with hand tools), and I’m really proud of how it turned out. It’s a small side table built with mortise and tenon joinery, and I glued up three panels for the top. I also cut all the curves in the aprons and legs on the bandsaw. My instructor mentioned that I actually picked some of the trickier templates (lots of curved surfaces instead of the nice, easy flat ones) so there was a lot of sculpting and sanding involved. A little personal win: My table ended up being the closest to the plan’s dimensions out of everyone in the class. Turns out I’m more accurate than I thought when it comes to measuring and cutting! My first woodworking project! Still need to decide on a finish, but I wanted to share the build that got me hooked on woodworking. Would love any feedback or advice for finishing options.
