Another Oregon Pine / Douglas Fir dining room table

[Joos]

Following the completion of a similar dining room table (posted May 2104), a colleague wanted the exact same table.

Made a number of minor changes however by adding another cross support for the drop-in top, more subtle V-grooves and experimented with finer end grain for some of the legs.

As suggested by Matthew Schenker a plan, cutting list and drilling diagram are also included. Some statistics on consumables: 93 Biscuits were used for the legs and drop-in top and 178 screws and 48 Kreg screws  for assembly

Joos,

Very nice table! 

C'mon guys.......  This post has been up for 9 hours, thread has been viewed 153 times, his plan downloaded 28 times, and not one single nice job comment???? [eek]

 

[wow]

I like it!

I'm not sure exactly where it would go in my house, but I might build it anyway!

Very much like how that turned out, especially the fine end grain legs.  Cheers!

This is a lovely table, Joos.
Your project is a great showcase for just how beautiful Douglas Fir is. Thanks so much for sharing this.

Joos, great table, outstanding attention to detail on your work.  Thanks for using products from where I live, I would assume this would be rather expensive to build in South Africa?

The detail of the table is magnificent, the end grain on the legs adds to the beauty of the completed project. This is a great build for sure
Great Job Joos  [thumbs up]

Joos,
Really like the design and execution. Good job! Do you have a design for accompanying chairs?

Great looking piece, very well done.
Specially like the end grain look!

I like the boxed legs. I take it that the end grain top of the legs is a short filler block?

Thank you Richard

Apology for the late reply but have been travelling in neighbouring Namibië for a couple of weeks

It will be interesting to know what the equivalent cost of the material would be in the US of A

At an exchange rate of R10.75 = 1 US$ the Oregon Pine / Douglas Fir cost US$ 1,485/m³. Net material cost for the table was US$ 153 and gross material cost including waste was US $ 208 (one gets a limited range of widths and lengths locally so wastage was rather high)

South African Pine is the cheapest local structural timber and the cost of clear SAP (no knots) is US $ 530/m³

Hallo Seth

Apology for the late response - have been out of the country for a couple of weeks

Yes indeed, the end grain is a filler block 13mm (± ½") thick
