Small Utility Table

[HandyDan]

Been wanting to make a couple small tables for different purposes. Got one done and the other mostly done.

They are just glued in place no mechanical fasteners. I used a grid pattern, think inside apron and it feels plenty strong.

The legs are some old growth fir. I have some cabinet doors I saved years ago I cut up to make things. The top is a Black Walnut veneered top scavenged from a discarded sewing machine cabinet.

So therefore none of the new growth, expensive lumber producing trees, were harmed for this build.

So you are both talented and benevolent.

I've was into recycling long before recycling was cool. I have built many things with recycled materials.

Second table is finished. Used up more of the fir for the frame but the legs were purchased at Restore. Four for $2.00. Used Corian scrap for the top. Now I have somewhere to put my soup while I watch Wheel of Fortune as I eat.

There are no mechanical fasteners in leg frames. I glued everything together in a grid. They are quite strong like this. I hot glued wooden angles to the top to mount it with a screw in each one that holds it to the frame work.
