Construction of an Oak Wood Table

During Covid19 Pandemic, we stay home and cook more,  now  we need another small table to put the additional cookware.  The radial arm saw was used with to cut dado slots in the legs to hold the bottom shelf.

After drilling pocket holes in the cross members, those pieces were then fastened to the legs.  Clamps were also used to ensure a real tight connection.

Top of the table and shelf is 3/4″ oak plywood. Supporting pieces are solid oak. A number of clamps were also placed around the top to ensure a tight fit as the top is both glued down and has pocket holes with 1 1/4″ screws into the piece of plywood.

Wow. Table was finished with three coats of stain (Colonial Maple) followed by three coats of Tung oil.
