great minds think alike hey...

 

it's just from a personal standpoint of liking the inset look plus the finicky git in me thinks it looks more professional too.

 

if you do the next one like that it would be interesting to see the pics side by side...

 

what do you finish it with?

 

Finish is Danish oil. It'll need another coat once the wood has dried more.

 

What size are the nuts you put in for the feet ?

I have some threaded inserts 6 mm and 8 mm that screw to wood and could send you some if they are any use.

 

The nuts are M8, I use them becuase they are stainless steel (and I had them already :001_smile: ) Thanks for the offer, I might take you up in that. What are they made from?

Yeah, this is definitely the best configuration from a looks point of view. Nice piece of timber too.

 

The cross recess for the feet was a pain, and I'd welcome any suggestions on how to do it more easily, as I'm no master carpenter. All I did this time was to cut the edges with the circular saw, then make more parallel cuts before chiselling the rest out, and where needed using the power file.

 

The acquisition of that monster 9"x2" framing chisel certainly helped speed things up.

if you are going to do a fair amount of them i would simply make a template from ply and use a router to take out all unwanted material but make sure you score around any edges that may break out.

 

Yes, I had thought about routing it out, but I don't currently have any bit that are wider that the router spindle, as the recess is 3" deep, should just about be possible. -next time, pics to follow :001_smile:
