Hello Raymond,
Let me welcome to LJs. I am sure that you will find being a member of this group to be both a rewarding and an inspirational part of your woodworking adventure.

Scott, could not help but notice your “expletive deleted” comment about woodworking being an expensive hobby. I agree, yes, but it is many other things, too, as i—as only one woodworker—discuss here: http://www.woodworkinghistory.com/appendix_35.htm but i am sure others have assorted other payoffs.
while i had a personal penchant for woodworking, as i mention here: http://www.woodworkinghistory.com/appendix_1.htm my main drive for woodworking came from our poverty-stricken condition when i started my career in the ‘60s and we needed furniture for our home

Welcome to Lumberjocks. The projects are an inspiration, the information is priceless and the people are supportive. The only problem is, the site can get addictive.

Tim, i made several a and c end tables (design in woodsmith) ca 2000 and for quadrilinear legs used QS oak veneer (recycled from pallet boards) on soft wood “centers”,
in 2009, still holding. cut these out using jig on my sliding table on robland x31
the tables themselves have tops veneered with QS oak, but this time un-used flooring from recycle store.
worked out pretty well, but very labor intensive
