Small Table

[Jez]

This is my 3rd Project overall

Im 17 and do cabinet making at collage this was part of an exam where you couldn't use machines only hand tools. :x

Had 15 hours to complete it.

Top is vaneered MDF with Birdseye Maple and Sycamore vanner on the border,edging and the underneath.

Made of Sycamore, legs are Mortise and Tenons and the cross rails are joined by Dadoes.

Bit small for any use but its just a "showing what you've learnt on the course" kinda thing

Cheers :wink:

...you couldn't use machines only hand tools. :x

Mwahahahahahaaaaaaaaa :twisted:

Looks good. =D> Dimensions? What method did you use for the veneering? Finish? C'mon, we're fellow sad case woodworkers, you don't have to keep the details brief to avoid our eyes glazing over. :wink: :lol:

Cheers, Alf

 

[Jez]

lol

It just has a wax finished and sanded down with 320

the vaneer was put in a big clamp and sandwiched between to big peices of wood, it was kind of a machine i guess but it didn't used electricity

can't remember the dimensions unless i go and measure :x

Off you go then; we'll wait... :wink: Roughly will do. Just wondering 'cos you said it was a bit small to be any use.

Cheers, Alf

Looks nice Jez. Well done.

What about #2 and #3. You need to post more pictures - It's compulsory!
And like ALF says we must have dimensions too.

Lee,
from memory I think #2 or #3 was a bedside cabinet.

Excellent job,looks great

You need to address this problem :lol: - you should always have at least one tape to hand (I often leave the house before realising I still have a pencil behind my ear,and a tape measure clipped on a trouser pocket - unless that is the start of senility )

Looks great don't forget to take it home or someone else will !
As for the small comment , wait till you have to make a 300mm tall door and frame or a three tread bullnosed staircase you cant fit a foot on . Then theres cut and fixing a barn end hipped roof with pitched dormers you can pick up with one hand .
All made with only hand tools :shock:
God i sound like an old man :shock:
Nice job
