Another work in progress
-
I've been noodling a new design for a Sheraton-style hall table. The latest version, here, has turned legs with reeds along the shaft. The curved front will include a drawer, or maybe two drawers. No joinery yet--I'm still working on proportions. And since I made the leg in five stages--reeds, curved ends to reeds, foot, turned top section, and pommel--there are undoubtedly some stray lines and extra faces in there somewhere. The drawer exists only in my imagination at this stage.
Let me know what you think.
Best,

Nice work, David. We'll be seeing that out of your shop in mahogany one of these days real soon, right?
Have you looked at how I tackled the reeds on that style of legs?

Dave,
I don't have enough mahogany left for this one, so it'll be a virtual table for a while. I may use it at the Mini Maker Faire later this month. You and I followed the same basic routine for creating the legs. Your method produces cleaner components, though. You also have a faster way to make the pommel than the method I used.
Best,

It'll be a good project for the Mini Maker Faire.
How did you make the pommel?
-
Dave,
I used the Killen method: Draw the square portion of the leg. Hide a face. Draw a pommel shape along a diagonal and extrude it. Unhide the face and then intersect the square portion with the extruded pommel shape. Your method entails fewer steps and much less clean-up.
