Hall Table: Shaping Parts
With the joinery complete, Rousseau begins to shape the curves in the aprons and under rails.
In this video workshop, Timothy Rousseau offers detailed instruction on a variety of woodworking techniques while building this beautiful hall table made of quartersawn walnut. In this series you will learn the basics of pattern routing, how to create a floating tabletop, and discover an ingenious method for tapering curved legs with a thickness planer.
With the joinery for the hall table’s aprons and under-rails largely cut and fitted, it’s time to fine-tune the shapes of these parts. In this episode, Rousseau demonstrates his techniques for adding beautiful, consistent curves to these parts.

This series is very well done... I am watching the videos as I build the table; thus far the instructions have been extremely helpful...
Such a pleasure to watch. I always oil walnut before finishing. I would finish at least around the visible joints before gluing so that squeeze out doesn’t stain the wood. Maybe that’s not necessary with hide glue.
Tim, can you tell me the brand of double stick tape you're using when you shaped the pieces? All I've been able to find lately is foam like and very hard to remove. BTW, do you know what's making that noise in your bandsaw, my 17" Jet does the same and can't figure that out!
Thanks -- John
