New table

Better view from half way up stairs.
n.b. drawers pending

This morning clearing up - crash landing, Formica holding well.

 

[Doug B]

Love the colour, bet it goes well with the kitchen

Quite an adventurous colour Jacob, it works well, how are you, or how have you finished the edges of what I think is a Formica? Top.

Not adventurous - quite risk free, just unfashionable.
All the more reason for doing it IMHO.
In fact so unfashionable that alternative designers can make it into a fashion statement in itself memphis design - Google Search
Edges are bare birch ply to be wiped with Osmo oil.
Works well in the kitchen against the bright yellow - much bigger pieces fitted for us by Doug B (above) who revealed the mystery of how to handle large sheets - basically contact glue touch-dry both faces, sheet carefully positioned perched on laths, to be removed one by one from the centre and pressed down. Thanks for that Doug!
Edge trimmed with a trim router - very easy as long as you support the off-cut and not let it snap off and start a crack.

I would assume you are bringing back the seventies where many kitchens used that bright orange or there was also a yellow, I can remember it well.

 

[Garno]

Where is it going to go?

Looks a lot better when not uses as a crash site

I think you are right it will really work with bright yellow.

No - more looking to the future - "a new red dawn"!

,,,,, many kitchens used that bright orange or there was also a yellow, I can remember it well.

Actually there was every colour in the rainbow and a vast range of patterns. Not to mention the very excellent "Fablon".

Where is it going to go?
.....

To my daughter in Sheffield. Needed it for Christmas day overflow, just gotta finish the drawers.

Yep that’s it, shiver to think how many 8x4 sheets of that I’ve glued down over the years, I still have somewhere a chain with dozens of Formica swatches on it, every colour and pattern you might never want!

On a flat surface like a table you can use other glues to make it easier to glue down , I used cascamite on mine. This doesn't work on verticals though.

Interesting.
Had another idea - could do two at a time and clamp them tight, face to face, for a day or so while the glue hardens. Could be done on the floor with weights.
