A couch table as playground for nice joints and dovetail connections. The design is somehow similar to a table I have seen at "Grüne Erde". They really have high class wooden furniture. The four corner joints of the frame are detailed in another project i uploaded to shaper hub. I recommend to train the dovetail connection once on a test piece ;-) There is also a kind of media sideboard in the same style, if you like this one you can contact me for the details.

Materials

12 Drops of Glue ;-)

Tools

Shaper

Table Saw for "swiss Edges"

The "corner joint" i show in an earlier project

Tapered Router bit (8°)

Instructions

I recommend to start with the two plates. Mill the grooves for the feet in the corners. Attention, there are two different depth to mill, but i think it is clear when looking at it. Then cut the swiss chamfers (mine have 30° and i made them with the table saw and a jigging) Clamp the two plates with a spacer that defines the gap and mill the groove for the dovetails. In the file for the shaper is an edge. This is the start and the endpoint for the milling operation. Then make the two counterparts for the dovetails and assemble this part. Now the real gap(!) defines the with for the feet frame. For the feet, only the trunnion and a smooth edge is in the file. The rest is as mentioned in the project "corner joint".
