Side table with a drawer
GrainDraft's own starter project: a small side table with a drawer and a lower shelf. The legs and rails meet in mortise and tenon joints, the drawer is a box-jointed box with a grooved-in bottom, and the shelf rests in rabbets cut into the lower rails.
It is the best project to explore first, because every size is a named dimension. Change the overall width or height and watch the legs, rails and drawer follow. As a build it is a step up from a first project: there are fourteen mortise and tenon joints to cut and a drawer to fit.
The top is not joined to the frame in the model, so how you fasten it is your decision.

Opening asks first and saves the project you have open to your Project shelf. The copy you open is yours to change; this listing stays as it is.
Check the dimensions before cutting anything — you did not make this project.
