The lid to the music box is relatively
simple. It's just a piece ofs tock that's cut
to
overhang the

of the box by

the edges are molded.

The lid can be

to

Then make two or three mol'(>>;coring

ROUTING THE RECESS
The contrast between the white paper and
the woodmake.' it a whole lot easier to see
the shape of the recess. Now all that re
mains is to rout out this recess.
Although it may sound like

recess,
The router
keeps
the

inlay flat, smooth. and at a consistent
depth. And it turned out to be a whole lot
easier to
control and maneuver than
thought it would be.

Before the mortises are CUt,lay OUtall

Deciding to make a set of nestled tables
with inlaid tops w as easy.
The
hardest part
ofthis project
W
trying toname it. There
was an on-going debate around the s ho p ..s
to which name was the mOSLppropriate
nestled tables, nested tables. or slacked
tables.
But the debate was seuled as soon as I
started to build the tables'. Normally
three progressively smaller end table. are
just stacked on top of each other (stacked
tables). Rut Lh. set builL is diff&ent.
Rather than just stacking the tables on tOP
of each other. each of the tables is
nestled into the next larger one by
means
of
a drawer-like sliding system.
At first glance the construction of these
tables
appears
to
be rather simple.
ow-
ever. they have Lh~ir own unique set of
problems. f'iT:'t of all the largesL tWO
tables don't have a front apron. Elimi
nating the front apron serves LWOpur
poses:
~ lhttirs
the
tljfferen~
between
the size of each table can be kept to a
minimum; andl/II eli . the tables can be
nestted with a simple .liding system.
But I'm ~tting ahead of myj;l l f. The
first step is to cut the legs.
THE LEG S
The legs for all three table. are the same
except for their length. They're all I y .
square pieces ofstock CIused walnut) with
a gentle taper cut on the tWOinside faces,
see Fig. 2. The laller creates
delicate
appearanee. while allowing the heavier.
full-thickness stock to be used where it's
needed most - for additional strength
around the mortises at the lop of eaeh leg.
tt T TO SIZE. The first Step is to rip
enough 6 4 I ,,; thick) stock to produce
all
twelve I \I.'xl
I .
square legs. Then the
four lell on the large;t table (A) are CUL
20 11 . long.
However, because of the drawer-like
sliding system used to nestle't the tables.
the le~ on both of the /lI smaller tables
(B and
Cl
clear the floorby
v .
But rather
Lhancut them to their exaet length at this
stage. they're cut ~.. longer than their
final length ... ' if they extend to the 000 .
This way their
tapers
can be cut toexactly
duplicate Lhe tapers on the legs of the
largest table.
With the additional
vo .
the leJlJ(thof the
le~'Son the smallest table are lSI\:' long,
and for the middle sized table, l HSolong.
THE ~IORTL~ES.After the leg blank are
cut to length. they need to be both mol
t ised
and tapered. I decided tocut all ofthe
mortise. before tapering the le~ to pre

To determine the length of the si
frame members on the two smaller tables
1Mand 0), measure the distance from the
ill3ide face of the baek apron. to th mnt
face of the front leg and add an additional
fQr the front overhang.
PLYWOODPANf:I .
After the miters on all
three table tops are cut. measure the
inside dimensions on all three frames. To
find the size for the
1 ,
-thick plywood
panel, add I to both dimensions for the
Y, .longtongues, see Fig.
15
'fbi, is one
place where accuracy is a must. Any error
in the size of the plywood insert will make
it impossible to aceurately rout a rabbet for
the inlay banding later on.
PLYWOOD TONGI'E Next, cut the
tongues onthe edges ofthe plywood panc1R
to fil the grooves in the frame members.
see cross section inFig. 15,and Fig. 16.Be
sure the shoulder-to-shoulder measure
ment on the I)lywood matches the inside
dimensions of the mitered frame.
Note: When cutting the longue, make
several duplicate. to use when setling up
for the inlay banding.
INI..AY B,, OINC. \\'hen tbe tongues are
CUt
on the plywood panels, the next step is
to rabbet the face veneer on the plywood
for the inlay banding, see Fig. 17.
The depth of lhe router bit for the rab
beting cut is set so that it's slightly /_
than the thickness of the inlay banding.
Then the fence i~ set
to
cut the groove in
the face veneer eX:lollythe same idtJ as
the inlay, see Fig. 17.
Before euuing this rabbet, I routed a
te..t rabbet on a duplicate piece cut earlier.
Then (hi. piece i. slipped into a frame
member. and the actual fit of tbe inlay
banding is checked. Then the frame mem
bers and the plywood panels are ) Iued
together.
To inlay the banding smps. I simply
mitered the corners, and glued them in
place, see Fig. 18. Then finally, all three
tops can be finished sanded.
MOLI)INC THE f:I)CE. The la5tstepbefo e
the tops are attached to the base assembly
is to rout the lable top edges using a ..,
rounding over bit on the router table.
Starting 1th the smallest table, rout the
edge profile until it fil into the groove in
the next larger table base, see
}';g.

(If
the top istoo wide to fit the groove. use the
table saw
to
reduce the width in
1/.
inere-
ments.) Repeat this process on the middle
table, and the largest table.
When the outside edges arc molded,
glue the table tops to the base assemblies
so they're centered on the width and over
hang the front edge of the base by \I t
(This will ensure that the front of the legs
all line up when the tables are nestled.)
Finally I finished the tables with three
coatsof1~lb.eut shellac. and two coats or
furniture paste wax.

STARrt:R HOL~S Before routing the
curved sides. drill holes for starting the
cuts. The fh e wedge-shaped com
partments each
receive
two starter holes.
one adjar:ent 10 the
eutslde
wall. and
an-
other next tothe outside edge ofthe center
compartment Wall, see ~ ig. ~. Also drill
one starter hole nest to the inside edge of
the center compartment wall.
A ll o
these
holes should be drilled so their edges just
touch the inside of t.he line.
TA(;K 1lO1\STEMPLATE.
AiWr the
starter
holes are drilled. attach the template to a
piece of plywood to keep it steady while
routing out the
compartments. (The
ply
wood should be large enough so it ca n be
clamped to a work surface without the
clamps getting in the way of the router.)
When taCking the template 10 the base,
drive a brad in
each corner ofthe template.
Drive at leasl two brads in the off-set
center circle to keep it (and the router and
trammel point attached to this piece) in
place as it s cut free
by
the router.
ROllTISG.
After the template is secured
to the plywood base, position the trammel
point on poinL
A (the
center of the large
circle). Then adjust the length of the
trammel attachment so the ,,,, Sib edge of
the bit cuts exactly on the marked
line
or
the outside circle. (I used a carbide bit.
set deep enough to cut romplelel, through
the Masonite template in one p8S1 .)
As the compartments are routed, be
triangle to determine the angle (or
these lines.
TlII,KEN LJSES_
After lhe center lines
for tbe walls are marked, thicken each wall
by drawing two more lines y to each side
of the center line (making each wall
v
wide), see detall in Fig, 3. Note that all of
these lines start at the outside circle and
stop where they intersect the largest of the
two ofr-set circles, see Fig. 3.
CUnlNG OUT THE PAnERN
After the pattern is marked on the Mason
ite. the next step
i
o cut the template to

and accurate as possible, l decided to use II

I

The overall design for the template is
based on a small circle that s inset, and

[ don't know or any apillicatloll$ in n
bome shop that tan juatify the c o t of a
plunge router (S200-300). In fact, most
applications can
be
duplicated .Ither u.ln)
a standard
(and
less expensive) rnuwr. or
other common shop
tools.
Plunge routers differ from the common
stationary routers in twoways, The most
important difference is that on
8
plunge
router the router bit can be lowered
(plunged) straight down into the work
piece while the router is operating simply
by exerting downward pressure on the
handles. In order to. do tbis. the router
motor (and the bit) are mounted on spring
loaded guide bars . Once the plunge CUt
;
m ade
lhe motor (andbit) canbe locked to
a
pre-set depth of cut and routing would
co n tin ue a s u su al.
The other major difference between the
two
styles
of
routers is
the
size
of thr
motor they use. Rather than using . to
1~ horsepower motors found on most
standard
routers, plunge router.
are
equipped with motors in the 2 to 3 ho rs e-
power range to handle the long term use
associated with industrial applications.
