Second Cheap table

[steven c newman]

Is about ready for a few coats of varnishSDC14393.jpgThe top's edges have been beveled with a few handplanes, as most of the work on this table was done with hand tools. Found a lot of end grain in the face of one apronSDC14392.jpgThe boards for the long aprons were, at one time, a "rafter" in an old barn/garage. I resawed a rafter last year, this is what it was made of. Seems to be a Sycamore type of wood. Oak from an old 2x8 plank, and a waterbed's side frame for the top. Pictures show what this little TV Table looks like after 1 coat of BLO. Legs are around 1-1/2" x 1-1/2" x 19". Aprons are 3" wide. Top is 35" long. Total cost so far? $00.00

That's a good little table Steven...and the price is certainly right. I see from your title "second" cheap table. Is there a theme or reason here for building multiple cheap tables? Just curious if you have a bigger objective....

Simple often has a beauty of its own!

Looks nice, old construction lumber is a treasure hunt.

A theme would be the use of old boards just laying over the shop. Reclaim, reuse, and recycle is what I do. I like the price of such lumber. I do have to go with what sizes I can find, and then find a way to use them. When one needs money for the household expenses, and going to and from a day job, cheap lumber comes in very handy, just to keep what few skills I have in shape.
