Making A Dining Table

Hi,

I’m new to Herne Hill and the Makerspace. We moved in to an unfurnished flat last December and the time has come for my wife and I to start eating at a table again!

I’ve purchased 1 sheet of 18mm B/BB plywood and I want to to make the table top, bench top and legs for both out of the one sheet.

Whatch this space!!!

Will.

Hi Will, welcome to Makerspace! And Herne Hill!

How are you planning to do the legs? I’m not sure how well ply would work for legs. Dale @DAC17 made a nice coffee table with hairpin metal legs which might be easier & quicker to do, more expensive though of course but very sturdy.

Hi Sarah,

The plan is to make everything for the table from one sheet of ply. This means the legs too. I have cut eight tapered legs for the table. By glueing two pieces together to make four robust legs. I will then cut struts in the top of the legs to brace the table top and then cross brace the legs lower down… I’m still working out how I want to do this.

Good luck! I’ll be curious to see pictures - I’ve always been a bit nervous to tackle legs.
