Good work. A few suggestions on technique. You can save a bit on planing by using a plastic dead blow mallet to bang on the wood on glue up after clamping. The wood likes to move around as more pressure is put on the object. Also, the grain of the legs go cross the grain of the top. If you create a slot by wallering out the holes lengthwise on the legs, it will allow expansion/contraction as the season changes. Thanks for sharing your project.

Your crackling masculinity of vocal resonance is at a decibel level reserved for trail drivers pushing cattle through Texas. You woke me up from my autoplay. Worse, you've made me covet. COVET. Now, I have to go roaming the streets searching for an oak futon in a city where cheap metal and phony oak are supremely suckered onto the earnest but unknowing. The oak drawers I salvaged in the rain three days ago turned out to be chipboard with oak veneer. That's a beautiful job, Andrew.

I've had the chance to use this table a couple of times now. It's fun to whip out in front of people:) I can see what people are talking about when they say the legs are delicate, but they're design to support a "mostly" vertical load, not be torqued from the side or pushed back into place. If you just let the table open or close on it's own and don't force anything, it works great kzitem.infoUgkxyFZUPFEey-PuqsPMxqaykBhgA1LWxFHh Once it's set up, it's pretty solid. My only gripe would probably be related to the clamps provided. They're not the highest quality. They do the job, so no big deal, but they could be better. All in all, pretty cool gadget.

Isn’t a mini workbench only as stable as the surface you clamp it to? I have considered making one as I have a small shop, but that question always causes me to pause.
@smahaney5958
5 жыл бұрын
The surprise was that my legs fit between the legs when I'm sitting down, so the workbench doesn't have to be clamped. I just needed something to hold the piece so I could use both hands and be able to turn the table around as I work. The detail work takes a long time and sharp tools don't require force, just stability. It was a back breaker to do it on a regular bench. Too much leaning over if that makes sense.

You showed making one leg (good) then showed how you transferred the detail to the second leg (good) but then showed cutting out the second leg.
