Dog on it! After the bar fight!    
This is a chair we made which went through a move with a jack knife tractor trailer. Yes this chair has angled mortises.

Dog on it! While building a pedestal table where is the best place to start? Square up the bottom and work your way up.

Jeff,

Do you use all those dogs and cats to heat the shop in cold months?
Will I need to bring a dog to the chair class (I didn't see one on the tool list)?

Dog on it! Howard! You should know better than to encourage another posting. ( Don't worry too much, it was going to happen anyway). The answer to your questions are yes and no, I will let you decide in which order each should be taken. Might another class be a King size pencil post with inlaid embellishments dog bed ( "Period" of course)?

Jeff,

I am aware that one is supposed to let sleeping dogs lie, but I have a quesion about the bed in the background of your dog picture.

I note that the side runners and head runner are secondary wood, nothing untoward abouth that, but I was wondering about this practice. I have a rice bed that has secondary wood on sides , but furniture wood on head board and at foot.

Are there any rules of thumb about what to use where ?

Karl, Thank you for the question. With most of the beds we make both side rails and the head rail are secondary wood with the foot also secondary wood but covered with a 1/2" of primary wood. The bead shoulder covers the glue line. We have found poplar actually holds your inset nuts and then the screws for the bed irons which support the mattress. Why waste primary wood much less the cost. Usually bed spreads will cover the rails but everyone wants to see primary wood on the foot rail. We will occasionally, more recently, get asked to overlay the side rails also.

Dog on it! If this table was made in Virginia is it still considered a New England table. Maybe yes maybe no.
