Its time to replace my flimsy malaysian made dining table.
Started this project a long time ago....
milling my mahogany stocks. using a router sled for i dont have a jointer.
after milling several flanks... then Proceeded to edge jointing.
then.... after the glue died... Planing again the wider board.
im using a 1-1/4" freud mortising bit
Re: Dining Table
This is going to be a massive project..what's the table top dimension Fortnapz?
Ganda ng Mahogany mo ah..very solid looking wood. Sarap din sigurong mag woodworking sa open area..sana lang walang nagagalit ng neighbors sa ingay ng router.
Tanong lang, straight glue up lang ba yung edge-to-edge joint ng planks? meron ba syang half-lap joinery or tongue and groove (t/g) ..or did you add pocket screws to strengthen the joints?
Looking forward to the finishing stage. 😉

Re: Dining Table
@ armand, Table top dimension: maliit lang 75cm x 122cm x 3.5cm thk, para sa maliit kong bahay.
walang magagalit na kapitbahay namin bro dahil mas malakas ang sounds ng videoke sa labas hehehe. mahina lang naman ang andar ng 3612c ko. lagi kasing nagkakantahan yong mga construction worker dito sa amin, sinasabayan ko nga ng paandar ng thicknesser eh.
Yup bro, straight glue up lang yung edge-to-edge joint ng planks, Pioneer clear epoxy yong ginamit ko. Ok naman ciguro dahil mga 5mos ko ng pinabayaan tong table top na naka sandal lang sa labas ng bahay.

Sanding
what I've noticed when using 240 grit sanding belt, lulundag lundag ang sander, dahil siguro sa seam ng belt. pero ok naman pag coarser grit up to 120.
Trim the edges using quarter round bit, and sanding by hand.
then tried refined linseed oil by treasure island.
sorry!. hindi masyado clear ang picture.
Actually hindi ko pa alam kung anong final finish/coating ko dyan.

Re: Dining Table
Very nice table fortnapz and with all the wood grains showing everywhere, walang binatbat yang Malaysian made table. Final topcoat na lang kulang to preserve the wood and grains.
I bet everyone in your house will be happy with the final result specially si swimbo mo, hehehe !!
Congrats bro for a job well done ! :clap::2thumbsup:
