Remember the thread a while back about projects to get introduced to woodworking ? I always thought that a shaker end table was the textbook starter project. So here's a couple of mine, actually the second and third ones I've made. No, you don't want to see the first one. One is obviously walnut and the other is white oak with an elm top.

Nice work! Headturning (sorry couldn't resist).

Nice work, Claus. And you're right, those are great starter projects. Clean, straight lines, yet traditional joinery techniques. Good for either hand tool or power tool skills.

Excellent craftsmanship...the pics look like the woodworking equivalent of "Glamor Shots"!

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. As for glamorous photos, this is the setup I used. My shop has French doors behind the camera so the natural light is pretty good. But I can't seem to figure out how the upload rotates the images, or how to reposition them after uploading.

They look great. What did you use for joinery? How did you attach the top?

Claus,

I couldn't find your Gallery pics using your username as a search term. ???

If you double click on a gallery photo there will be a "User Options" box in the lower right corner with an "Edit Photo" tab. Rotate CW or CCW is an option prior to adding the photo to a post.

Here's a shot of the mortise and tenon that attaches the legs -​

Here's the underside showing the top attachment. The little clips aren't completely flat against the top so there's more pressure holding the top on.
