Project Information

I made this from sapele unfortunately I didn't have wide pieces, and it is made from literally hundreds of pieces of wood to get the finmished product .The top alone has eleven piecres of timber and the little bases have 25 pieces apiece .I still have to fit the door magnets as the ones I had were unsuitable.It is made to my own design . I hope you approve kindest regards Alistair

Excellent job, Alistair! That is some very nice lumber, but you certainly had a lot of gluing-up to do

I agree with Charlie M. The number of pieces reflect your patience and your skill. If I tried to put that many pieces I'd probably needs your son's (the MD) help.

Very nice job…. I love the finish and the hardware…Looks very functional, too…. I'm sure your son will enjoy many years of use… Making something like this, for your son is certainly a gift of love…

What joining method did you use?

Congrats….

Alistair, it is amazing how you have made this table with so many pieces. Lot of hard work must have gone into making it. But then it is for your son ! All details required for a computer table have been taken care of. The handle of the cabinet door is very attaractive. Is it made of brass or copper?

Alistair,

If I wanted to copy this piece and had the wide Sapele to do it, I would rip the material and glue it together to get the same look as your project. A superb example of the object being the sum of the parts.

Great design, I like the wood tones. But FYI, just ensure the computer has plenty of circulation…I just rebuilt her machine after it overheated and died, due to lack of air flow.
