The Tables, Finished

Yesterday, Matt and I finished the second table and put it up against the wall, after which we broke them in by playing League of Legends for several hours. I couldn't find the camera yesterday, so there aren't any pictures of the work in progress. However, there were some major improvements that should be noted.

First, we used sawhorses, rather than working on the piece directly on the ground. Words cannot completely express my appreciation for saw horses at this point. It's like going from rocks and sticks to gunpowder.

Second, we belt sanded the edges to flush them up a bit more once the top had been assembled. This made routing the front edge WORLDS easier, and the whole thing looks a little more put together.

Third, we didn't leave the stain on nearly as long. It looks really nice!

More pictures. Less words. This Saturday we're breaking it in with their inaugural LAN party.

The First Table

As I mentioned in my previous post, I have been working on a couple of tables with my friend Matt. We've got them all drafted up and are planning on building them this week. I'll keep you posted on how they come out.

Here are some pictures of the models.
