Printer Table

Here are some photos of the table I am building to hold our printer. It is built entirely of 3/4” thick select pine from the big box. The top was glued up from 6” wide boards and hand planed to a nice flat surface, the base is constructed using hand cut mortise and tenons, and the top will be held on using “buttons” cut from hardwood that will fit into the grooves on the stretchers.

Like most of my projects, this was built more as a learning project than anything else, it is my first use of mortise and tenon joinery, panel lamination, leg lamination, and buttons. MY only rationalization for using pine on this project was price, as it is an experiment, I couldn’t justify spending money on, or hacking up perfectly good hardwood.

The finish is a minwax cherry gel stain with a layer of minwax classic oak polycrylic over that, it gave it a great warm, rich color.
