Glass table (WIP)

[Niki]

Good day

The title is glass table but, actually, I'm just changing the top according to the last order of SWMBO (ok, I also love to do it)...

I built the table some 8 years ago while living in Japan.
It's made of Luan, 600x600mm and stained 5 years later.
.
The top (frame) is Oak, 30mm thick, 100mm wide and 620x620mm, I'm using the same stain and hope that it will fit somehow to the stained Laun.

Now, I'm painting the frame but, because of the weather the drying time between the layers is very long (so was the gluing and staining).

The design is that a plywood will sit inside the frame, and on top of the plywood, 6mm glass.
Between the glass and the plywood will come "something" that I cannot tell you (by order) and you shall have to wait and see the finished top.

Regards
niki

Wow, Niki.

Looking good, and lots of pictures! Are you going to offer a prize for anybody that guesses what the "something" is? Can't wait for part 2.

there seems to be something missing... sawdust.

how do you manage it?

Thank you

No prize, it's just that she is not sure how it will come out and the plan/design may change.

As you noticed, I'm using two shop vacs and very "sealed" machines.
Some, very small amount of dust finds its way to the floor but, at the time I change from one machine to the other (I have to "fold" the TS before using the router table and vice-versa) I'm cleaning so, I start with clean floor.

Great pictures and well explained, when's the final episode?

Quite possibly the most organised thread/build I have ever read on the forum :shock:
Everything is so clean and well marked out that I will have to go back over all the pics to find fault :wink:

You can't beat an organised workshop and as far as organised workshops go you can't beat yours

Lovely write up and interesting project. Looking forward to part two.

Cheers, Ted
