Secret Table

Looks good to me and as far as the price, well, the only way that get better is use free lumber then sell it!!!!

Very cool. Nicely done!

If it were shorter, we’d call it a piano bench.

That is really nice. I worked at a shipyard that kept me in lots of free hardware and wood. Amazing what some people decide is the end of usefulness in some items.

The piano bench was the inspiration for the hinged top. I thought it would be a neat addition to a side table. Good place for remotes and nintendo games.

I think it looks great. And It’s even better that you were able to get all of the oak for free – I have to confess – I’m a “closet Druid” so anything made of oak appeals to me – While certainly not the easiest of woods to work with, or to finish with it’s large open grain, I have a soft spot for the stuff.
Really nice table – I’m going to give it a try myself – or at least a variation of it.

I like it too, the legs’ detail work sets it apart. I especially like where you got the wood and what you paid for it. It is amazing what a pass through the planer will reveal. Of course you have to watch for nails and other foreign objects. Regards
