Harlequin Side Table: Rounding the Dovetails

We left off with the drawer dividers a dry fit in the case …

And then this was pulled apart and the case glued up. After a clean up, the ends were looking a little tidier …

Now we've been through this together with the Jarrah coffee table, but for those who want to know how …

The ends are marked (with a washer) ..

The aim is the remove the waste progressively to the lines …

This is quick to do with a low angle jack …

.. and finish with a block plane …

Now finish with sandpaper - 80/120/240 grit …

The completed case …

I spent a few hours today turning a few legs. Rather than show the prototypes, I am hoping that I may have enough time to complete them tomorrow - I have the afternoon off!  - and then I will post more photos.
