A bit of shop therapy. New coffee table and end table
Hi all.
I got some shop time in today. I needed a coffe table, and an end table. So I went out and found a big slab of white pine. Then my nefew came over and we got to work.
That slab is about 20" wide and 6' long. And about 2" thick.
We cut 20" piece and a 4' piece, then sanded and sanded and sanded some more.
Now thats a hefty chunk of wood so it needs a sturdy set of legs.
So we lag bolted them into place and beheld our creation.
Then I carried them to my basement to apply the magical oil from the tung tree.
So there it is. A live edge set of livingroom tables. Rustic, but I think pretty sweet.
Thanks for reading

WOW! I mean.. Just W O W!!! 😍
I absolutely LOVE those tables... So my taste 😉
You really are a Handy man my friend 👍
The nature look is the best.. Awsome job.
Thank you for sharing and.. I'm soo jelly.. Lol
Have a wonderful weekend. Cheers! 🤗🌹
Thanks Saff. I always loved live edge furniture. And fireplace mantels etc. And it's a bit of work, but well worth it. They're a bit lighter coloured than I had pictured in my mind, but I think they'll look good in my living room.
That's awesome. I really admire the "I need a table, I'll make a table" ethos.
Thanks Methus. Building is better for me. Bonding time with my nefew, whom I haven't been able to spend much time with for a few years, and I ended up with a great, unique living room set, with Absolutely no fake materials! And now his wife wants us to build another for them! So there's another weekend planned!
Nice work buddy! And awesome that you share your time and your skillz with your nephew!
Thanks man, it feels really good to have been able to spend the day with him. Haven't been able to do that for a long time! Tables are nice, but that's the real prize today.
It’s only in the live showing that expertise can be shared, and that’s good times between buddies. 😎👍
It's all about the time. Time that I've been denied for a few years. Forced isolation from my family... Well that nearly killed me. I missed days like today so much. I'm gonna make sure no one ever does that to me again.
It's all about the time buddy, that's all we have in the end. I don't have my own kids, I have my nieces and nephews and now, their kids. It's time to be Uncle J again. !
There is nothing more respectable than sharing knowledge with a young family member.
🎅👍
Pretty! I like it! Thanks for sharing your living room tables, @fat-elvis!
Thanks 888.
Nice if you are handy. I ordered a round Oak table for in my new Oak kitchen and it is f... expensive. I pay around 1200 USD for it. size 1,20 meter diameter.
The cost of wood here has really gone up. It really pays to salvage what you can now. A regular sheet of paint grade plywood is right around $50.00. so to me an oak kitchen table for 1200 USD sounds pretty fair.
But on top of it all, I enjoy building stuff
Cheers rooster
