How I Built My Table

Hey guys, nice site going on here. I happen to build my first table this past week. I won't sell it but I did put together a site on how I built it. Please check it out and give me some feedback. I plan to build a Racetrack with a 5" Oak rail next.

Wow! You went all out, Pete. I bet your house is full of your own work, and it's probably just as precisely done.

Thank you guys, wait till you see my racetrack. Going to turn the oak and have a one piece oval. I know the thing is a padded rail but I like the look and feel of hard wood better.
Thanks again

that is so... awesome! You should video tape your next project and send it to H&G.

Bet it's easy to do with $10,000.00 worth of woodworking equipment in your garage and years of carpentry experience. At least you make it look easy.

Yea I been doing this for awhile. But what I do for a living is build and repair elevators in NYC.

Your table turned out nice. I'm drawing mine up now and it's the same basic design but the legs off the pedastal have a curved swirl design to them. Still drawing it and probably gonna do a cad before I start on it. Your site is great. I'm still working on what dimensions would be best for the top. I think I might use yours.
