My MIL turns 95 next Fri, and wanted a small table to go next to her stove. A project I actually got done early, and the first as a gift.
QSWO from Scott, with tapered legs (a first for me). Long shelf stretchers are dovetailed into inside of legs. The "towel rods" keep the ends from expanding altho the short shelf stretchers are tenoned into the shelf dados inside the dovetails on the long stretchers. Top stretchers are mortise/tenon. I put height adjusters on the legs, because the floor in her old house is far from level.
Trivet top of ceramic tile will give her a place to set her hot skillets, etc.
As always, comments and critique are welcome.
