estin ables One table or three — how you use these sleek tables is up to you. If you've been looking for an excuse to buy a really nice table saw blade — or at least get your old one sharpened — this is the project. While these tables are simple to build, precision and a sharp saw blade will make the difference between a relaxing weekend project or a frustrating exercise in gluing up miters. I made these tables using three sheets of plywood. Essentially I ripped each sheet down the middle and glued the two pieces from each sheet together to make a 1^2"-thick slab. Then I beveled the front edge and glued thin solid-wood pieces to cover the slab's plywood edges. Finally, I cut the legs and top for each table from the slab and biscuited the pieces together. This method allows the grain on the top to continue uninterrupted down the legs. Make a Slab Start the tables by ripping three sheets of plywood in half to just under 24" in width. You won't need all that width, but it will come in handy later. As for the lengths, using the full 96" is a little wasteful, but it makes gluing the two halves together easier. After ripping the sheets, determine which three faces are most attractive and mark these as the outsides of the tables. Next glue the pairs by David Thiel 51 |
