Thanks both of you, funny, I'd thought of posting a pic with some equipment, but the tung oil was a little too fresh.
I'll post some later, but to be honest I don't have very fancy stereo equipment yet. I'm not a rapper (tho maybe then I could afford some cool equipment), I just sometimes like to hear undigitized music.

Nice. I like the glass blocks for the speakers looks good.
Like Roger - I am very impressed with what you accomplished with a jigsaw. Very nice classy looking table. I really like ash - just wish it was available here in the South. It sure was a low cost wood while living in Michigan and has tremendous hardness and quite often really nice grain patterns.
Like you, I am getting setup to put my turntable back in service. Have to get a new stylus for my cartridge - Shure V15IV. Just have to keep the wife away as she destroyed the last stylus.

Thank you for the comments.
Bosch has some really extraordinary blades for their jigsaws these days. One of those blades and my reading glasses and I was able to accurately follow very fine pencil lines without any chipping. The newer Bosch jigsaws also hold the blades very straight so I was able to get fairly square cuts. It also helps that I used a jigsaw extensively when I worked as a boatbuilder, so I feel comfortable using one.
I also like ash very much. I used to use it a lot in boats in Rhode Island, so I was pleasantly surprised to find it in the Bay Area at a very reasonable price.

That is a nice stand.
I like the joints.

A little late to the dance here but should you have loose fitting M&T joints again try to leave the end grain pieces a little (~1/16") long and use a ballpeen hammer to burnish it into the gap. Sand any overlap and forget the wood putty or thin veneer pains in the backsides.
Also...agree 110% about the Bosch T380B Jigsaw blades. If they came in a narrow version I would seriously consider selling my bandsaw. I found them at Lowe's.

Roger, the blade I used is a T308B, Xtra-clean. That's all I can read off this used blade and the package it came out of is across town now.
Mark, that's an interesting suggestion, sounds like it should work. Hopefully next time I'll be doing MTs with the correct tools and this won't be an issue anymore?
