The second video in a series about building a simple Shaker style night stand (end/side table) with all hand tools. 

In this video, I continue work on the Shaker Night Stand. Having rough-cut the lumber to length, I resaw the 2x4s, plane and thickness them, and finally glue them up to give me the basic components needed for the top and carcass.

Then I square up the stock for the legs, trace the template, and plane, plane, plane.

In the end, we are left with a nice stack of squared, planed, wood panels and tapered legs that are ready for final dimensioning, which I will do in the next video.

Thanks so much for accompanying me on this build series!
