I made several variants of this table, all with the same tiles. If you think the oak prototype is nice you should see it in jatoba (I’m still looking for more pics)
Oh yeah, its been 20 years since this original build post and that table is still going strong. One of the bottom slats got trod upon years ago but otherwise it is holding up well. Its been used so much that the pattern on the edges of the tiles has begun to wear off. It’s had no end of spills and slop on it with li...

This is a four foot diameter folding top game table.
Table in Up Position
The top is red oak, while the base is white ash.
The popsicle base is half lapped with bandsawed bun feet.
Table in Down Position
The hard part was the pivot mechanism without any metal parts. A piece of closet rod acts as the pivot with a dowel acting as the locking pin.
Sold it in a consignment shop for $600.

Looking for some advise….I have a 2 inch thick black oak slab. It is 22 inches wide. It is 40 inches long. I am making a table top, 3/4 inch thick. It has to be 30 inches wide.

My dilemma, is do I cut the 22 inch wide board in half yielding 2 pieces 10 inches wide for resawing? Or should I cut the board into 3, 7 inch boards for resawing? I don&...

This kind of shaving horse is really not too fussy about precise construction. Installing the ramp is a fairly easy process, however, I did fuss with it quite a bit. Since this wood is totally green and is bound to shrink and move, I think it was not really productive to spend as much time as I spent setting up the ramp. But I am not too used this kind of woodworking, so I just did my best.
In the version that I am making, the ramp needs to be beveled on the underside where it mates up ...

Just got a couple of toys for myself as a belated b’day gift. An outlet tester and an induction probe to go along with my DVM. One of my complaints about DVM’s is that the leads seldom store neatly.
As electrical tools in a wood shop the things collect lots of dust and debris.
I came up with this four compartment lexan lidded box:
It’s a metric box ‘cause its full of meters!
I used 30” of oak 1×6 resawn on the TS to 5/16” and planed down to...

With the posts and the girders made, its time to make the “korbelen”. These knee braces help strengthen the construction of the lower part of the windmill and prevent it from skewing.
Cutting the angles on the knee braces
Making the tenons
Making the mortise
Joining it all together
Fitting the pieces
It fits!!
The progress so far

At the top of the lower house of this windmill there is a round flat part where the top of the windmill rests on and that makes it able to smoothly turn the upper part of the windmill into the wind. The part is called “de pannenkoek”, the pancake.The pancake consists of 4 parts that are lap jointed together
Gluing the pieces together.
In need of some sanding
The finished products so far.
