I guess I got the finish to look okay on the pine legs and such. Looks great on the oak tops and shelves. Sat down to draw these on Nov 1 and they're finally next to my couch.
Just saw this via /all and I had to say that you’re a mighty fine woodworker. Really really stunning end table!
Why thank you very much.
Wow those look great! One month to make those seems lightning fast to me lol
Thanks! I actually count these as my first proper fine furniture project. I've done a bit of plywood cabinetry this year, but these are a whole different ball game.
I'm starting to turn my living room into a showcase of family craftsmanship. My grandmother made me that afghan when I went off to college.
Very cool! I have yet to do any big projects like that. Some day, though!
The only advice I have to give is build stuff. See those coasters in the second shot? I learned a lot about panel glue-ups making those coasters, and a lot of what I learned went into those oak tabletops.
Thanks. I see what you mean. Do projects, learn techniques, build up skills... Ok, I will give it a go!
Those are awesome. Props.
I don't know which picture to believe more, I think the tables are loooong, based on picture 2, and the angle makes picture one look shorter.
Nice work though! They look great
They are fairly long, they're 16 inches wide and 24 inches long. I wanted room for my lamp with plenty of room for activities up front.
Yeah they look pretty long. I wonder if the drawer is that long as well.
They're not, the drawers are 14 inches deep. Ibwas afraid of losing stuff way up in there.
So... 10 inch secret compartments?
You have no idea how long I thought about that.
I might yet; the drawers are just boxes that rest on some runners, I could build up two more drawer boxes and just put them in before the drawers, and you'd never know they were in there.
I'm DEFINITELY going to put a secret compartment or two in the bar cabinet I'm going to build once the weather warms back up!
