Support what we do at www.kmtools.com The Katz-Moses Woodworkers with Disabilities Fund (KMWDF) is a non-profit that proudly supports woodworkers who have physical and mental disabilities by providing the resources they need to grow their hobby, craft or business. All too often, our fellow craftsmen and women with disabilities have a hard time obtaining the resources they need to pursue their passion and reap the rewards woodworking has to offer. Today we aim to make a huge positive impact in the maker with disabilities community by announcing our *Build Up Initiative* Here’s the basics: Follow the links below for more information. We are raising money for electric hoists and work holding tools to supplement the program below. We have created a semi-autonomous, first of it kind application system that pairs those who need help with those who can provide it. In addition we have created 3 step by step sets of plans that you can build for yourself or donate to the charity. All the proceeds from the plans go to the charity and the money we are raising to help buy electric hoists, work holding tools and fund general help for those that need it will be put to immediate use. If you don’t want to donate monetarily or by building something but want to get involved, we have created a tab within the same application system above to let you apply to be a helper. This means you can donate your time to people in your area who may need help with basic tasks like unloading a truck, assembling a newly donated tool, flipping over a table top etc. CHECK OUT THE LINKS BELOW FOR LOTS MORE INFORMATION ON HOW TO GET INVOLVED.

Thnks for sharing 👍👍

You could use dowels to "screw" legs to the table - so, you'd still have traditional joinery only, while avoiding strugle with clamps, imho. Pls, correct, me if I'm wrong. Great project - love it - huge respect, dude!!!

Maybe. Haha. I’m trying to picture it in my head. Are you referring to just using dowel joinery from the legs to the bench surface?

Most welcome!

I just discovered this channel while searching for wood hammer designs. Your fusion of traditional Japanese and Western style woodworking is - for me- a revelation and a breath of fresh air. I am especially impressed and encouraged to see not only the techniques employed but also an explanation that makes sense e.g. the name of the traditional Japanese joinery and then an immediate illustration of how to do it. In a word- inspirational. Thanks so much for sharing your love of the craft and sharing your love for woodworking. In Japan, they have a special designation for elders who teach skills to the next generation- Living National Treasure. Your approach is vying for that Honorific. Have subscribed and liked- not only to see what else you have going on, but to connect with the heart some more. This makes me think and FEEL. Domo Arigato!!

For gluing the legs I'd just put it on the floor and set a couple cinder blocks on it at most. Tight joints paired the compression/expansion technique should already be more than enough to ensure and effective glue up

Great build and great program. I will befinitely be looking into how I may be able to contribute! A tip about blue tape and superglue: BourbonMoth uses plywood and superglues directly to the piece. Sine it's plywood he just smacks off the piece with a hammer and then sands down anything left over from the plywood. I will say that he uses hardwood. So I don't know what will give way first, the yellow pine or plywood? But on harder wood it definitely works.

Oh sweet! Yeah I’ve seen Matt Cremona do that too. Only problem is that I’m using the cut off from the workpiece to recreate the angle so it’s pretty difficult to get a functional angle like that to clamp with 3/4 ply. I suppose I could lam up a couple pieces of plywood. Who knows. The struggle continues.

So that’s just plain ol’ high quality h2o. I initially used denatured alcohol, then I went to a 50/50 denatured alcohol and water mix, now just straight water. If you’re using a super dark hardwood just make sure you dry it off after paring so that you don’t get coaster stains.

To get the legs all to the same length, you should have measured from the bottom of the bench - assuming the thickness planer did what it is supposed to do.
