I know how you you dig that action. Anywho..... Can you post some pic.s/info on the furniture you've been/are working on? :) Title: Re: Clive...... Post by: Clive on January 03, 2007, 09:45:21 PM Train table for the young master. Finished dimensions: 48x34 (outer), 18in tall. Rounded cutouts on the sides, so that (a) I can retro-fit a drawer underneath, and/or (b) the young lad can crawl under, roll onto his back, put his feet on the underside of the table surface, and push up to break same.
I downloaded the plans from Archlight.net, then modified them to suit my eye and skills. This is their version of Table 2: (http://www.archlight.net/traintableplans/tbl2_4b591.jpeg) Title: Re: Clive...... Post by: stroh on January 03, 2007, 09:54:36 PM Sweet! Nice project! Thanks.
I was planning on some sort of "storage/play center" for Maddie. Sad part is, I think I can buy the finished product, cheaper than I can "attempt" to reproduce it. Title: Re: Clive...... Post by: Clive on January 03, 2007, 10:04:53 PM I used nice wood, and raw materials ran me about $90. I could have gotten a smaller table of melamine or some such at a consignment shop for $50. Meh. I like working with my hands, which isn't something I get to do at my job, and I kind of like the notion of building something that my kid can hand down to his kid someday. Or at least humor me and say he will.
