Made a couple of tables for a friend - one 6' x 6' and the small one at
3' x 6'. Made from alder at his request. He bought the alder legs from Rockler. Here's some pics of tables made from glued up panels. The panels float in the frame. Th large table has two pabels with a frame piece separating them down the middle. About 7 years old and no dropped turkeys making them fall apart ;-) |

Bill ....and Bill, you don't need a jointer to prep the planks for the glue up. I used my $89 Chiwanese TS with a jointing jig, then fined tuned with a block plane. I used a router with a slot cutter to cut the biscuit slots for alignment. Here's a picture of my "jointer".

Well done, and how actually do the panels float....
I take it they are not glued to the frame, and sit in a route? nice work. john "Doug Winterburn" wrote in message eb.com...

About 7 years old and no dropped turkeys making them fall apart ;-) Well, they are in a route. I made floating tenons to go in the end frames and glued the edges of the panels to the frame, but but just glue in the center of the end of the panel on the small table and on the center frame end of the panels on the large table. The aprons are also screwed to the frame pieces with elongated holes in the end apron pieces. I've been really surprised that the side frames don't seem to have moved much with respect to the end frame pieces, if at all. Might have something to do with the Arizona desert climate. -- "Socialism is a philosophy of failure,the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery" -Winston Churchill |
