Project Information

A trestle table I made for a theatre production in Los Angeles. It was fun to use a variety of different joinery techniques to put this together (biscuits, mortise & tenons, through wedge tenons, dovetails, pocket screws…). I was under a bit of a time crunch, so I did have to cheat and use a bit of hardware - but I made sure it was never going to be seen! The final stain was done by the show's property master and not by me. I think I need to make another table for myself…

You bet you should make one like that for yourself it is beautiful but no pocket screws please it deserves better joinery .

Wow - Very nicely done.

The 'Property master' needs help with his finishing skills.

Great looking piece. Why don't you make all of us one then we wouldn't have to try and copy yours?

Thank you all! I'm honoured with your wonderful comments.

In defence of the Prop Master's finish - the table was not supposed to look new, but a little worn and beaten up. And Klaus - the pocket screws were used internally to add a support that was not in the original drawings, so they were minimal.

I guess I really do have to make my own table now… :)

A very handsome table, or was that desk…
At first the drawers threw me off, then I realized it was a desk.
However…..
Drawers in a dinner table is an intriguing thought. Cutlery right at your fingertips.
(I've lived a sheltered life and have never seen drawers in dining tables before)

This one is going in my favorites pile.
