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.
In this episode Rousseau begins the leg shaping process by creating a leg pattern that he uses to construct a patterning sled for the router table. This method yields consistent tapers for all four legs.
