Very interesting piece of furniture, doing the 8 sided is hard enough but with a tapper Wow ! Table saw with a jig of some sort ? You could build planes with that skill. Lots of thought and maybe some trial and error, thats how I make a lot of plane parts trial and error , all custom fit to the old fittings. The thing I hate is that once we figure out how to make a part we never have to make it again so its always a new cut, angle or different wood .
If anybody is ever in the San Antonio area let me know and I'll give the grand tour of the shop and aircraft.
