Train Table for my son No-picture-s No-picture-s Click the pictures to enlarge them

I’m not sure if this was my fourth project or not but it was still one of the first, done the same way, in the driveway with a borrowed skilsaw. I continued putting the pocket hole jig to use here. It’s 3/4 cabinet grade ply with the legs bolted on. No finish other than sanding – if it ever gets too dirty I’ll just paint it. The train set has grown considerably since this photo – amazing all that you can fit on this thing. It’s the same size as the Thomas sets you see in the stores. I just measured those and went from there. Thanks for looking at all my un-fine woodworking projects!

Good thing my son can’t read this or I’d get no rest until I built one. Nice table.

Rob,

This is a nice table for the train set. I would rather see something hand made, as this is, as opposed to going to a store and buying one.

Well done.

Table really looks nice. I bet your son has lots of fun using it. And I’ll almost bet you do to.

I wish I would have went that route, making a decent table and buying a decent train set. We bought a table/train set from Sams Club and the quality is really lacking.
