A/C Table

Very cool! I would have never guessed that would have turned out so nice. Did you have many problems with voids in the HD plywood?

Gorgeous table. Excellent use of what would normally deemed less then average ply for fine furniture.

Interesting piece. Looks good. I thought AC was going to be Arts & Crafts ;-))

-- i wonder if obama stood in a wind storm with them big ears of his would he start spinning like a drill bit

Now thats cleaver. Plywood never looked so good!

Inspiring. I have been looking for a plan for a sturdy coffee table – one my 3 yr old can’t break – to replace the drop glass table that currently resides in the basement for safety’s sake. I think I will borrow your design. For the price, it’s really hard to beat your materials cost.

Very nice idea and cool looking table. I may have to make something smaller out of all my scraps now. Thanks for the posting.

gorgeous and very sturdy looking coffee table!

Matches the rug nicely too :)

Very, very cool design and execution. I love it!

I, too, worry about voids when working with that kind of plywood. But, I don’t see a single one in your table. Did you fill them in?

A cool design and material very well done

I like this alot! The Noodles restaurant near my house has similar table tops except they must have a 1/4” of epoxy on them.

Does the use of plywood negate any wood movement that could affect the through mortises being at an angle to the wood in the top? Probably a dumb question, but if I learn something it’s worth it.

Tunk Valley, I thought about AC unit too, but that didn’t make sense so it must be arts and crafts:-) Nicer than I ever thought plywood could be.

You are a genius! I would have never thought of using plywood strips for a table in that fashion.

-- Regret- the feeling you get just after you do something really stupid.

awesome, looks great!
