Screw you. I messed up a picture frame four times before I finally came close enough to getting it right :P

As a professional drinker, please make sure there's glass atop that beauty, because those frets would definitely catch a wineglass.

Did you use a jig saw to cut by hand or did you use a CNC router for the legs? Either way looks great!

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Jigsaw then router ;)

What methods/tools did you use to form the table legs?

10 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

Also routed the edges, and hand sanding.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Scroll saw on flat boards it looks like. Unusual for table legs, but a pretty standard usage of the tool

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I used a jigsaw. the band saw wasn't working and the jig worked:)

Looks beautiful, but do you think the feet may need some more reinforcement?

Topless girls need to be able to dance on that when you go pro. Kidding aside, nice work.

And thanks :)

What I was going to say. Its beautiful but it looks a tad unstable.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Possibly. It feels pretty sturdy but I may add tiny apron like things on the bottom.

10 years ago | Likes 34 Dislikes 0

I want one.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

The feet are already frayed, 'cause plywood - so I'd reinforce them with something (plastic/metal). Still a great job ????

Not a bad idea, thanks!

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

nice design but if you know what your doing why not use real wood?

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Ply is actually stronger for this design. Thin parts are prone to breaking when the grain runs across the length of the part.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

it's the first class I've taken in woodworking, and they made us use plywood.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

ahh yes i have been there, that's darn good work for a beginner class man!

As an amateur woodworker who uses woodworking as slang for masturbation but still appreciates a fine table, that's a fine table, OP.

As Jesus the Numero Uno woodworker, could've sanded the legs a bit more.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yah, I'm not done with it yet. Still have a lot of sanding to go, along with painting and stuff :)

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Thanks so much! It's my first one and am LOVING it! Any tips would be appreciated:)

Don't. Stop making more.

Use a nice dark wood, those curves deserve it;)

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Is it plywood? If so how are you gonna hide the unfinished edges, maybe use some kind of adhesive strip of similar wood?

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I'm painting it so you won't see them. And yes it is

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Nice cuts. Next use hardwood instead of ply. Shape edges with hand planer and sand multiple times with lighter grit. Then stain, urethane

Plywood is cheap and good for learning.

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Yah we were forced to use plywood, haha. Next project is real wood im excited. Thank you!

10 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 0

I'd suggest you keep learning your materials. You can get away with this in ply. Full grain wood? not so much.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

... it's some really beautiful work. Keep practicing. Don't be afraid to go with "less is more" in embellishment.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yah it was specifically a plywood project so I knew I could do something curvy :)

... if you want to see some really impressive stuff, there was a thing on Youtube that showed the fitting process at Holland & Holland.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Like I think I implied, it's impressive work, at least to me. Fit and finish are what separate the hobbyist from the professional though.

10 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I'll check out that YouTube video! Thanks man. Yah, I'm going to paint and make it look antique, then add some stuff that's weird, haha.

Would highly advise against placing too much stuff on top. Heavy stuff....
