MAKE A SMALL TABLE,
WITH DAVID HEIM
Spend three summer evenings making your own small, sophisticated Japanese table. The design is inspired by a piece made in Japan in the 1920s. You’ll use the bandsaw to shape the top and a table saw to cut pieces for the legs and feet and to create the simple but strong joints. Constructing this table will introduce you to the basic skills you need to make more complicated pieces of furniture.
