First Project Ever 2006

This is an excellent 1st woodworking project you should be proud of.
The table top is beautiful, though I see that the fourth piece looks like from different lumber board.
Overall I like the design and the finish.

That is an excellent table for ANY woodworker, much moreso being your first real project!

Noting it’s final resting place is not only an indication of the pride you take in it but also an indication of the quality of the craftsmanship. Very, very nice especially when considering it was the first. Well done!!!!!!!!!!!!

-- I can so I wood but why are my learning curves always circles

Great looking table. Looks like a strong table.

-- Brian, Lebanon PA, If you aren’t having fun doing it, find something else to do.

I like it. Very nice.

Welcome to LJ’s : ) You should be very proud of your first project ! It looks great and that top is just beautiful no matter how many different boards you might have used in it….It’s all about the wood ,Bro : ) How thick is the top and what are the overall dimensions ?

Great table Glen. Nice work.

It looks awfully good to me for a first project. I love it!! Also a very bold choice for a first project.

The top is 24” by 36” and is 1” thick.

Great work for first project

-- Jim, Kentucky

very nice. looks quite sturdy and those through tenons look much better than mine – how did you route the mortises (router? hah)? they look quite deep.

This is a pretty challenging project for any woodworker, let alone a first project. The construction and finish look really good.

How did you finish the piece?

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

AaronK,

I used a Bench Top Hollow Chissel Mortise Machine to create the mortises

and

Scott Bryan,

I finished it with just a mission stain and wipe on poly.

Thanks for the comments. I can’t wait for the weather to warm to start up again.

A fantastic first project. Way to step out there and expand your skills.
