Re: End table with oak top and stainless legs I’m going to slot the inside of the frame a inch on each side. 12% shrinkage would be about 2” total shrinkage.

Re: End table with oak top and stainless legs Originally Posted by scsmith42 That’s a great video.

That’s around 1/8” per inch of width. If you don’t slot your mounting holes in the direction of the wood shrinkage, the slab will split severely as it dries. Wow thank you. I will slot them.
Re: End table with oak top and stainless legs Not to be mean, but it sure looks tippy. I guess it'd be ok if it's between a couch, and a wall.
Re: End table with oak top and stainless legs You can build one out low cost soft pine for hammering training. My father did for my older bothers so per nail for me. I learn only hit the center nail. Dave FYI The one for hammering is outside in can get loud. Originally Posted by motolife313 Attachment 1716428

Re: End table with oak top and stainless legs I dig it moto Saw that router trick on the internet once, looks like a great way to do it. Cute kiddos
Re: End table with oak top and stainless legs Originally Posted by N2 Welding Looks good Moto. Personally I'd have rounded the corners on the leg brackets. .02¢ It’s chamfered. Won’t matter much anyway. Not sharp enough to hurt someone if they tried
Re: End table with oak top and stainless legs Yes it will eventually come off by itself but this one is kinda glued on right now so it will take a while or need to be bumped off. If You wanna keep it on you need to nail it on or glue it on. I won’t mind when it comes off
Re: End table with oak top and stainless legs how do you plan on keeping the bark from coming off. Every time I so something with slabs, eventually the bark removes itself ? john

Re: End table with oak top and stainless legs Is sliding on the aluminum track difficult, do you lube it?
