Manufacturing the Table Top: Part 1

Even though the stool is now being transformed into a table rather than into a new stool the different design features are more or less staying the same, since this is the case the manufacture should be quite similar to what was originally planned. The wood that is being used to create the top and in fact the base of the table as well is a piece of wooden work surface due to be skipped after a kitchen refurbishment.

The salvaged work surface wood was cut into two different parts as it was slightly warped and working in two smaller pieces was easier and more likely to cause less damage.

The different sized circles were then marked onto the wood with the piece on the right being the one that is going to be the table top

The corners were cut off the square and as much of the material was removed before the sanding process was started. This was done on an orbital sander and the final shape was achieved.

The next stage was to drill holes in the bottom of table in order for the base and the table to be attached to each other.

The table top now fits onto the body perfectly. The remaining tasks include routing out the channels on the top side of this piece in order to pour in the concrete that Morna wants along with any sanding and finishing that she wants done.
