Hall Table

[Alex.R]

Hey Guys,

I just finished making this Shaker style hall table for mum.

I got the plans of FWW and changed a few minor details.

It is made from Tas Oak and Myrtle.

Hope you like it, comments appreciated!

Terrific work Alex Looks like you have a great natural talent... Keep it up and post more pics

Are you seriously only 15 or are you having a go at us?

Honestly, that's really well done! I really do like it. You should be proud and your mum would certainly love that hall table too me thinks.

Keep it up Alex.

Cheers,
Af.

Good stuff.
I do like the shaker stuff.
A little drawer stop would bring the drawers back into alignment to the front (they seem to drop back 1-2mm).

Thanks for the comments guys, very encouraging, ha yeh, I'm still 15


I think I will do somthing with the drawers because I know exactly what you mean, just a thin strip along the back would do the job.

There was a good article in FWW a few editions ago on stops.

I'm sure you'll work it out.
It looks great, I'd be pleased with it.

Did you have a strategy for the grain along the front?

Thanks for posting that link, very usefull. I think I may have seen it in a magazine or just online before, but thankyou.

I bought one big long board and cut it and reglued it leavign space for the drawers, however, the draw fronts are made out of a differnt board, if I had thought it through I would have tried to make it all continuos grain, however I didn't, nextime....

Alex, try a small bit of sticky back felt they use under legs. Trim it with a stanley so the drawer is flush. It will be a nice soft sound when you close it as well
