Reviews:
In the 3 years that I have been retired and focused on furniture building, the sofa table was not only my favorite project, but taught me the most about the craft. This project has everything….milling, breadboard joinery, M&T, dovetailing, dealing with curves, inlay banding, drawers, finishing, etc. I have subsequently utilized this design in building two coffee tables and a larger puzzle table. Thanks Matt.
The videos were very helpful and I learned a bunch of new skills. I’m new to woodworking and managed to pull this off using the videos and the SketchUp plan.
Matt is a great addition to the Guild as an instructor. Step by step Matt walks you thru the project and shows some great techniques to up your skills!
Thanxz Matt
