Readers will recognize this Arts & Crafts Side Table (Product #011056).  It is my first table, “upcycled” alder from sets of shelves.  I see its flaws but my granddaughter sees it as perfect.  (My second was the walnut round table, mimicking the videos by Gary Ragowski.)  First, I built a circle jig from FWW instructions for my father’s bandsaw (Atlas circa 1948).  Next project: same table but in oak like in the FWW photo.  Thanks, FWW.

Congratulations on your first of hopefully many tables, and for having two Grandchildren that must love you and your woodworking ability very much. Remember that 40 years from now, that table will be "more perfect" when they look back at what you made with your two hands.
