I've always been a girl who needs a deadline to get things done. Best way to make sure the house gets clean? Plan a party. Best way to finish a dining room table? Plan a dinner party for 22! So, April 9 is our deadline, and work continues at near furious pace.
This weekend we:
Determined the final width and trimmed the bread board ends of the tabletop (photo shows before the cutting).
Drilled holes through the tongues / grooves (which will be pinned with walnut dowels)
Cut all the mortise and tenons for the legs / skirt.
Sanded, ad nauseum.
Since I failed to update, last weekend we:
Cut the grooves in the bread-board ends with my dad's router.
Cut the tongues on the long center boards with the dado blade on the table saw.
Sawed the glued-up legs to 2 1/2 in. thickness, and cut them to length.

Oooo! It is starting to look more like a table, and less like a bunch of pretty wood! beautiful!
Thanks for the visual update! VERY nice!
