After letting everything dry and cure overnight the table is now complete!

Moved the table inside for final finishing. The top alone weighed almost 250 lbs!

Set up the top on saw horses to paint the legs and base and finished the top with a natural stain and briwax.

Frame is now attached to the table top. Caulked up the joints and filled in any screw holes and large gashes on the legs. Gave it a nice initial sanding.

We’re ready for paint and stain now.

More table updates:

Got the legs sanded and bolted to the frame. I also dry fit the legs and frame to make sure things were feeling stable and the height felt good with a chair.

Table updates:

The frame is now glued and screwed together.

Next step is to drill holes through the angled corner joints and install the leg bolts.

Here’s where I’m at right now. I’ll post more as I make more progress.

Designing with wood is really fun!

I’ve been working on building a new 8ft x 4ft dining room table that can seat up to 10 people. This is my first large-ish scale wood working project. 🧵

Did a bunch of hacking last night and now have embeds on the timeline view working. Progress 💪

I accidentally made a native macOS BlueSky client. 🌀
