Build commence

After searching high and low for a suitable table, I decided that the best thing to do, at least initially, was to build my own.  I would like to base everything on a table that is 2 meters (W) x 1.2 meters (D) x 0.7 meters (H).  There are not many tables around of this size.  Some “boardroom table” options available, but mostly seemed to be either way too expensive or not really what I wanted.

At least if I build my own and I realise that my sizes are wrong, or I would like to make changes after a few months of use, it isn’t too much of a problem to hack it about a bit or dump it and purchase something else.

So, after a trip to B&Q, I returned with some 70 mm x 70 mm planed timber, some (very impressive) TURBODRIVE wood screws, and much enthusiasm.

Although some more support is needed, the basic structure of the base of the table is complete.

  1. This looks shopped. I can tell from some of the non-dovetailed joins and from having assembled a few MFI cupboards in my time.
