    Default Glass table

    Good day

    The title is glass table but, actually, I'm just changing the top according to the last order of my wife (ok, I also love to do it)...

    I built the table some 8 years ago while living in Japan.
    It's made of Luan, 580mm x 580mm and stained 5 years later.
    .
    The top (frame) is Oak 30mm thick 100m wide and 620mm x 620mm, I'm using the same stain and hope that it will fit somehow to the stained Laun.

    Now, I'm painting the frame but, because of the weather the drying time between the layers is very long (so was the gluing and staining).

    The design is that a plywood will sit inside the frame, and on top of the plywood, 6mm glass.
    Between the glass and the plywood will come "something" that I cannot tell you (by order) and you shall have to wait and see the finished top.

    Regards
    niki

    Thank you so much for the kind replies

    On the TS, I'm working with 2 shop vacs. Router and sanders are also vacuumed and when I "fold" the TS, I clean and then I "open" the router table.
    But, it takes more time that not everybody have it, I'm retired and have all the time in the world, but if one is working, it's totally different story...
