What’s wrong with my table guys? They don’t usually have cracks down the middle?   Not my design, and christ don’t ever decide to build a 24’ long table. It has a built up faux-live edge because I’m #1 knock-off shop (and the 4’ wide, 12’ long 16/4 walnut slabs they originally wanted are a pipe dream and the table would have weighed 2500lb) I got an Arbortech thing for my angle grinder to do the not-live edge and holy poo poo that thing is amazing. Way less terrifying to use than I thought and it will hog off some hard splintery sapele in a hurry and leaves a surprisingly nice surface.

That's cool. Are you putting epoxy in the middle to make a... river... pond... table?

You're gonna need one hell of a butterfly joint to fix that split. Nice work dude. Share more pics when it has finish applied?

Do you have pics of the underside? Is it all 16/4 boards or did you edge band it with less in the center? Also your belt sander looks like a palm sander in that picture

JEEVES420 posted:thats a conference table so that hole will have all the wires hanging down and a conference phone balanced over the opening.   I'm a bit worried about the plywood battens screwed crossgrain, but it's been like 104+F and 30% humidity in the shop for a few weeks and haven't had any splitting or anything. Presumably the air conditioned building it's going in will be more humid, and I've only ever really had wood movement problems from shrinkage, not growth. I hadn't noticed my tiny sander, but you're right. That's a 16' tape stretched out too-when my buddy helped me actually put it all together the other day we just laughed at how insanely, stupidly huge it is. Pictures really don't capture the size.

Ambrose Burnside posted:i hate hairpin legs. i will hate them as long as i live. i will never forgive them At my old job we built a veneered rosewood desk on two pairs of metal legs shaped like )( held together with a band in the middle where the two parentheses touched. The designer had some blacksmith guy make them and they had a great beeswax finish and hammer/peen marks all over them and looked cool and awesome. We put the wooden desk part on top and....it bounced around like a bobble head because we just put it on top of two leaf springs. It went against the back of a sofa, and between bracing it against that and a third, straight leg, it got to be moooostly steady. It sure looked pretty though.

It took me entirely too long to realize that those pictures are the bottom of a quarter of the table, not the whole thing.

So I ordered a ring and I've been wanting to build this ring box: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXsFYCkGq6E To that end I think a router table might be handy, but not 100% necessary. Are the Kreg or Bosch tables useful? I have the Bosch 2.25 HP router with the interchangeable bases.

Here I was blissfully unaware of the uh, trend of strapping hairpin legs to scrap wood and calling it fine furniture.  Instagram is surprisingly helpful as a “what not to do” for lazy furniture design, at least.

I went over to my brother's house for dinner at his new place, and his kitchen table is literally a bunch of floorboards screwed together and marketed as rustic. Whoever the lazy fucker was who built it didn't bother cleaning all the paint off, cutting off all the tongues but instead leaving just enough so you know exactly what it is, and the didn't even bother to sand the hosed up attempts and screw holes. Furniture fashion can go get hosed imo. Fortunately, I didn't have to tell at him, because it came with the apartment, but it was a close call.

An instagram influencer pulls a bathroom stall divider from the dumpster, eying up the scratched corners, chipped paint, and crude hole carved in the center. “SUCKING SIDE” is etched above the hole in ballpoint pen. “This will be my masterpiece” he murmurs, reaching for the hairpin legs.

I bought a set of 8" hairpin legs after spending a week of evenings making 4" tapered legs for a cabinet only for my wife to request the cabinet be raised so the dog could sleep under it.

Alright so, say you're using some nice wud for trim around a door. How do you integrate the look of it with your door linings that are a functional but moderately knotty pine?

Depending on how exactly your doors work, you could also probably cover the exposed part of the linings with nice wood to match if you really want to.
