Tim Rousseau’s modern desk might look simple, but a lot goes into making such an elegant piece. While Tim tackles this project with a pro’s perspective using tools found in professional shops, he also draws parallels to tools found in most hobbyist woodshops.
In this workshop, you’ll learn Tim’s techniques for:
- Creating accurate templates for pattern routing
- Working with curved parts
- Accurately creating angled mortise and tenon joinery
You can now download a full-size PDF plan for this project at the Taunton Store.
