Sneak Peak

A sign of things to come. A dry fit of the project. The final project will have a panel on both top and bottom pieces and therefore look a little different.

Prepping the Column

The center column is relatively complex and not yet finished. The hand planned splined mitre joints have been finished for a while. Now the ends are trimmed at respective 15 and 30 degrees. Holes for wiring.  The edges rounded. A quick sand. The next and more complicated part is the locking mechanism.

The Post

The post is designed to be adjustable in height. To accommodate this it is formed by two pieces which telescope; one within the other. The pieces are mitred, then splined together. My set up was less than ideal, some by hand, some on the jointer.
