As my son is big into Thomas Train, when I saw this plan in Wood magazine I had to build it. It’s made out of oak and birch ply, with three coats of shellac for the finish. The front panels on the drawers are done with chalkboard paint. When I built this table I added a little extra strength to the bottom of the table by adding a few extra cross members under the ply tabletop. Which worked out well as my son decided he likes to climb up and jump on the table from time to time.

Awesome job. I am sure it will get a lot of use. I just thought about making one of these yesterday after seeing a cheap built one for $100.
