Re: My Commissioned Conference Table build...

ahhaaha

i always prefer to be spectator. Will see if i can squeeze time...

Re: My Commissioned Conference Table build...

so Monday build is a NO GO. can't commit an empty facility since it is a holiday and people tend to play on odd hours... pass by if you guys want, I will try to be there before 3pm so I can paint the rt doors...

Re: My Commissioned Conference Table build...

the court cleared around3pm which gave me some time to work. Jay suggested a laser guide help me square up the boards. Well Bosch (c/o Golden) lent me a GLL 2-50 line laser.

tried to locate the straightest path that can offer me the biggest yield.

and with the Bosch power planner, I started cutting the material removing more in the high spots as needed.

not perfect, but very close. the cut is made only on one edge of the wood and with a no.5 Stanley scrub plane, I level it across... and I have a volunteer too...

Re: My Commissioned Conference Table build...

Timb have you tried making a jig on your Makita thickness planner to plane a flat true surface boy that job is really time consuming I remember the days when I use the thickness planner as a jointer but only works on a 8 feet long bourd.

exactly my concern at the moment Chisel, these boards are 9ft long and making a bed allows me 8ft long using a single piece of ply or mdf. though my intention was to make a torsion box bed to make it stiff and joint an extension to fit my needs.
well, I would like to try this first, if it doesn't give me the results I want, I will be off to build that torsion bed... I just don't want to spend more time building another jig at this time, lots of work is needed for the raw stock (though I know it could make my life so much easier once it is set up). making that bed requires accuracy in all aspects, otherwise it is pointless to make it... kaya, wala pa akong ginawa... :p

Re: My Commissioned Conference Table build...

High tech! Were you able to finish all the boards?

Re: My Commissioned Conference Table build...

been working my butt lately... got the mahogany thicknessed. the thinnest being 1 3/4" so far... which is more than I hoped for...

Re: My Commissioned Conference Table build...

What's the target table top thickness now Timb?

Re: My Commissioned Conference Table build...

What's the target table top thickness now Timb?

so far I hope I can maximize at 1 3/4" but realistic would be 1 5/8", any of which is better than 1 1/2" which was my primary target.
now, If only I can get a biscuit cutter or maybe borrow one from Chisel...

Re: My Commissioned Conference Table build...

got one side straightened using a cs and a straight guide... tomorrow, I will square the last side with the TS. not perfect but I believe it would be very close. so I would need to start jointing, and without a biscuit joiner I decide I would use dowels. I start making a dowel jig that I can use...



and a drill with a stop...
