Step 2: Table-Top Construction

in the same exact way that we did. For starters, before we even started building, dad made a template out of cardboard in order that we could lay it onto our 3/8″ plywood and trace the outline out with our jigsaw.
Rim: If you would like to undertake and make your own circular trim piece, you’re certain a challenge! There are several ways of going about it, but the tactic we wanted to use was the minimalist sort of gluing and clamping. Since we didn’t desire wasting plenty of wood on making one small little trim piece, we first planed down several of our 3/4″ boards in order that they were nice and smooth. Then we glued several of them in an overview round the fringe of our table-top then left them to dry. this is often no easy task though because once the boards are done drying, you actually need to take care because the piece is somewhat fragile. differently we could have gotten that circular shape good was to soak our boards in water in order that we could have bent them much easier, however, our tight schedule didn’t leave this convenience. to not mention the wood could have ended up checking or splitting over time.
Step 3: Legs

Step 4: Secret Storage Space

Step 5: Support Wing Construction

In order to assist conceal the table’s hidden area, we had to create some supports for the highest piece. I won’t enter an excessive amount of detail on how we ended up attaching them to the edges of the table because it was a touch technical and required very precise pilot hole drilling. If you would like to understand how we attached them to the table you’ll inspect the video as I explain it far better there. As for the boards themselves. These were made out of an equivalent 3/4″ boards that we used for the trim piece.
After we finished securing our wings to our table, we placed our table-top on top of the table and traced round the edges of it with a pencil. We then removed the support wings, took the pieces to the bandsaw, cut round the pencil line, then painstakingly routered almost every inch of the boards that were inside the lines. the rationale we did this in order that the table-top could sit inside a recessed edge thereby making it look very natural to possess a seam going round the outside of the table.
