You may have see a glimpse of this table in my Kreg Blog. My sister visited for her Sons 50 the birthday and took a liking to my Jul 2011 Coffee table
So being a kind brother made the decision to replicate it for her. The original is now 14 yers old and I have no build info nor as to where I obtained the turned legs, along with the inability reproduce them. I did have heaps of pallet timber available So the legs were made from two pieces jointed and glued together the cut to size the top and shelf were the same The frame was pocket hole constructed the top 90mm wide section was ripped from some recycled truss frames I had.
The top and shelf were biscuit-ed jointed together
I tried to Drum sand it but that proved to be more trouble than it was worth as the pine clogged the belts (yes thats plural) and gouged the timber. resulting in a transporting belt requiring cleaning just something else to keep me busy. cut the underside of the top with the tenoning jig. Glued it all up and added the veneer edging across the ends
Luckily I still had the matching veneer strips I made years ago
cut the corners off at 45 deg and rounded them and them round over profiled everything.
Note the list of tools and machines I had to use when working with re cycled timber!
to reduce the movement I added braces under both the top and shelf.
for those interested all the woodworking tools and machines were involved. (including my Kreg comments!)
Its currenty undergoing Poly finishing but the cold weather is creating havoc with the finish, it has two coat's on but needs more later. Upon completion It will be fully assembled upon delivery to Jervis bay NSW
