Nesting Tables
Years ago, Nicole (Marc's wife) came home with a crappy set of nesting tables from Home Goods. The design inspired Marc to build a reimagined set of tables that feature an Asian influence and proper joinery. These tables will work as occasional tables, plant stands, or simply used as weapons to crush the old crappy tables into pieces.
Large Table: 16"L x 14"W x 21 1/4"H

About the Course
We have templates available for this project including the leg and rail shapes. You can purchase those here while supplies last.Â
This project shows the construction of two circular ring sizes. You can make these any number of ways but the two ways shown in the video series will be using the lathe and using a routing template. Please note that we no longer sell the circle templates I show in the video so you’ll need to make your own.

Tons of fun and I learned a lot. The segmented rings were a blast
Really enjoyed this project, now proudly displayed in the house! Comes together relatively quickly (although I cheated with a Domino for the leg joinery). This was my first time making segmented rings. I opted for template routing to bring to final shape and then kept with the template bit on the router table to cut the curves on the legs.
I’ve done a few from the guild now and its very rewarding to compare the first to the last and see the skills I’ve picked up over the years.
