Custom-made rural oak table, by Maup

Description

Hi My name is Maup, I am 14 years old. I have 2 passions, namely; skateboarding and making things out of wood. I started with the latter when I was 5 years old. I now make furniture to order. This time I made a round table from oak for my grandmother. Beforehand, I first made a 3-D design with exactly the right dimensions, so that everything is correct during the making process (see photos). Because my glue clamps were not long enough, I ordered the round table top and an intermediate slat from OPMAATZAGEN.nl. I am very satisfied with the quality of this oak table top and the good service from OPMAATZAGEN.nl! I made the entire base of the table myself from oak. For this I used an 18 cm wide oak beam and sawed it into 7 cm wide beams. I did this with my own plunge saw that I saved up from furniture that I make for other people. I also made oak plugs myself, so that the screws are no longer visible. Now I'm saving for a milling machine. I will save this for my next assignment; a bunk bed for my niece and nephew. I can save the money from my photos and this story for new tools. I really enjoyed sharing this with you and I'm curious what you think of my oak table!

Round table made of solid oak

Firstly, I listened to the wishes of my client, my grandmother listened. Then I went to her house and measured everything. Then I made a 3-D design on my iPad. I did this in the Shaper 3-D program. Then I invested what it would cost and discussed this with my client, my grandmother. After her approval, I purchased the materials/supplies. I then started working with the help of my construction drawing.

The dimensions of the table

85.0cm, diameter table top, thickness 4.0 cm. Height 73.0 cm. Width 62.0 cm.
