I posted just earlier and introduced myself and talked about the workshop/machines I am setting up. I am getting a half-decent bandsaw and table saw and hopefully they will be enough to help me make one of my first projects.
I've included a picture of a table that me and the wife would like in our kitchen, we've seen it in a shop and online and Im trying to work out how they have done it as I fancy giving it a go.
It is called a 'sleeper table' so i'm assuming it's made from cut up sleepers. I've managed to find some untreated rustic oak sleepers online and If I could basically slice off the rough exterior into roughly 20-30mm deep strips I could make the top with that.
I intend to get a bandsaw - around about the £1000 mark, something like a record power sabre 350. Never owned or used a bandsaw before so unsure as to whether it could do this cut for me?
Looking at the pictures what kind of wood do you think it is and how would you go about making this? the other picture of the sideboard is from the same range and is just to help show the texture of the wood.
Many thanks Paul
