Sone,
A sofatablewithbuilt-instoragesr a luw, kNlbookcae?
,*ry wayyou b okat it, thbisa greatprojectn bild.

\ ettins a narrowtablebehinda sota
\/ hasalwaysseemedlike a coodidea
to me. lt's just a nice spacefor a table
lamp and for displayingphotos and
other items. But many of the sofa
tablesI've seenhavebeenjust that-
tables.The spaceunder the top was
openarrdnot usedin anyw"aja
So insteadof a table,this is a sofi
table bookcase. It's designed to
makefuIl useofthe spaceunder the
top.There'sstill just asmuch display
spaceon top of the case(andmaybe
a litde more since the case is a firll
six feet long). But now, you have
much more room for storing books
andother displayitems.
DISIG{oPllolls. Of cou$e, there's
no reason this bookcasehas to sit
behind a sofa. Ifll look ereat in a
varietyof setrings.In fact,ifs a pretry
venatile project And asyou cansee
in the photosat right its look realy
changes by adding doors. or to
make the bookcase even more
formal looking, you car build it out
of cherry. (we'll even give you a
sneakpeak at what this would look
like on our web site,refer to th€ "On-
line Extras"box on page7.)
sltltcHtlonwltD (orsTruqroil.I{
you're concernedaboutthe tlifficulty
of this project, you needn't be. The
joinery is all quite basic.The elld
assembliesare held together with
stub tenon and groove jornts. The
face ftames irith haiJ laps. (And
there are techniqueardclesfor both
of thes€joints on pages16 and 28)
And believeit or not, wh€n ifs time
to assemblethe case,youwon't ne€d
a singlelong clamp.

A tablesawwill cut a raised
panelwith flat bevels,but
you can also rout panels
with an€legantc?rrr€dprG
file. All you needis a bit, a
routertable,anda tallfenre,
as shownin the drawing.
YIRT|(AI 8lIS.Not long
ago,routing rais€dpanels
meantyou had to mount a
NorE: kant
large horizontalbit in a
router table,seeth€ box
below. And that can be
downright scary.But now,
you canget the job done
mucb more safely with a
vertical raised,panelbit.
In order to usea verti-
cal rdised-panel bit, you'll
needto add a tall fenceto

becausethe pan€ls are
routed on edge,insteadof
iying facedownasthey do
with a horizontalbit. (For
more on making the tall
routerfencethat'sshown
here,refer to page21.)
lf you take a look at the
marginphotosat right ifs
pretty easyto seethat this
processis similar to the
tablesawtechniqrewith
one dif{erence - you
dont need to rabbetthe
back edge of the panel.
]'hal's becausethe router

In the past when I've cut
raisedpaiels on the table
saq I simply addeda tall
auxiliary fence to the dP
fence. But even with this
added support, the Panel
was still just riding on its
thin edges.Sofor the rais€d
panels in this issue, I
decid€dto makea sledthat
would provide the panela
little more support, as
shown in the drawing

sizes of the other Pieces
need to b€ a little more
preciseand will dep€nd
on your table saw First,
when cutting the back

make sure its height

to clear any bolts that are

build ajig for the tablesaw.
This jig is just a Pair of
