“Hand Joinery Bedside Table” was my first project completed at Rochester Institute of Technology. The requirements for this piece were to use all hand tools to make a small table, the bandsaw was only used to rough out general shapes. Every finished surface and all joints are created using solely hand tools. The other requirement was to use three specific joints; a half lap, cross lap, and bridal. No other types of joints were allowed. All joints were cut using solely a hand saw and chisels.
