Since I just started woodworking, I decided to take a class at the local community college. It was definitely worth it. Not only did I find out about shop safety, where to expect tearout, and how to use the tools to the best of their ability, but I also was able to make this table. I decided on lyptus because I liked the environmental aspect and I loved the color. I’m waiting to see how it ages. Of course, I had someone helping me the whole way through, but I thought it turned out nice. Now I just don’t know where to put it!

Looks like a good table to put next to a chair or couch and put a lamp on.

That is really excellent, especially for a first table.
Don’t even ask my wife about the problem of where to put the stuff I make. I think if I sneak one more thing into the house, she’s going to put me out of the house.

it’s a great start to your woodworking career!
I just build a similar sized table. I skipped out on the drawer though!
great work.

That’s a great table!! I bet you’re proud of it!! All it takes is a project to come out this nice, and your off. Now you have to start looking for deals on lumber, cause once your hooked, thats it!! First tables are great, I love mine!!

Dusty56 – I used a finish called “tried and true” that I found at Woodcraft. It takes some time, but is easy to put on.
Thank you all for the very nice comments.

Nice job. You did it the right way. By learning to make the table the correct way, with the correct procedure and tools, you skip wasting wood and finishing supplies. That is a beautiful project.
