Getting Started
Biscuit jointed and routed, this child-size table and chair is a good trial for making projects entirely with power tools. The process is so simple that we only need explain how to make a chair. These projects are made entirely from MDF (medium-density fiberboard) or plywood, with small offcut blocks needed to support the seat and top, though this job could also be done with biscuits. Both the chair and table are made from 3/4 -inch (18 mm) thick material, which is why the cutting list can be so simple.| Cutting List | ||||||||
