Occasional tables

[Racers]

I knocked these up from 3 different types of oak, Pippy oak for the frames Brown oak for the tops and Bog oak for the disc and triangle connecting piece in the top stretcher.
They are joined with dominoes, they trickiest piece was the bottom stretcher it slopes up wards with a flat on that the Bog oak disk sits on, I made it from a wider piece so the ends could be cut at 90 degrees. Then cut a wedge shaped piece from the bottom to get the angle, and cut the top parallel to the base leaving a flat that goes under the disk.



Top connector.



Disk glued and screwed on.



3 tops.



Frame without a top.




Low angle view.



Thanks goes to Steve Maskery for lending me his Domino, it made the assembly much easer, I even cut the slot in the top stretchers with it.

Very nice, you should have a circle of glass in the centre of the top to show that lovely 3 way joint

Excellent, Pete.
I think I would have brought the bottom stretchers up a tad so that there was a foot, but lovely all the same. Lovely.

Thanks Steve

I wanted them to look like they are coming up out of the ground.

I had to bite the bullet and cut up the plank of Bog oak I bought at Mac timbers on the open day.
In fact I had all the wood in stock to make them, the wife is pleased that the hall has now got less wood in!

Hi Pete,

You've made a beautiful job of the tables and I, particularly, love the pippy oak that you have used for the frames.

Very nice, I too like the pippy oak legs, what finish have you applied?

Danish oil, it's just about fool proof, three coats on the frame and four and counting on the tops.
