The Simple Steps To Use For Making Hand Made Tables

By Marie Butler


Table is simply household furniture. It basically consists of flat top which is supported by some legs, trestles or pillars. The top surface may in some case be made of wood, plastic, stone, glass or metal. This furniture type can be divided into mechanical or fixed furniture. Fixed furniture does not actually move or rotate in anyway. Hand made tables are very essential for many residents.

There are a number of table types available today. Some of these types include dining, coffee, and bedside table. All of the above types have basically one function and that is supporting objects when they are in use. Some furniture is also used to store documents or cutlery by homeowners.

Dining table is the design most people are familiar with. The furniture is located in dining halls or dining rooms. And just as the name suggest, the table is used basically to eat. People seat around the table and food or dinner is served. This type is common simply because each and every home has it. For families who love to eat as a family or together this is the kind of furniture they need to make or buy.

Knowing the dimensions of your dining hall or space will help one choose the most appropriate furniture for that available space. Coffee table is another type that is quite familiar and usually it is short furniture used mostly in living rooms. This table is mostly used to display some items or even to serve refreshments.

Constructing a complete table is quite challenging for beginners but with the right tools in place they can do it. Some tools worth buying before starting the process include table saw, radial arm saw, drill, pocket-hole jig, rechargeable screwdriver, chisel and hand-held belt sander. This article briefly outlines some steps to apply when constructing a table.

Using your pencil, draw any design sketch you think of. If you do not have any specific design on mind, you can take a moment and brainstorm for ideas. Finally if you get a design draw it on your paper without catering in, the dimensions. Dimensions will come later after the sketch is complete. Once the sketch is successfully drawn, start figuring out the dimensions.

Once an individual has a rough design, they can then key in some rough dimensions using a pencil. The dimensions will actually vary depending on the form or kind of table an individual has in mind. Dining and beside tables will definitely have very different dimensions. The dimensions a person has come up with will determine the amount of wood they will need.

Construct table top before anything else is done. The top surface can be constructed using two ways that is the planking and using only one sheet of wood. Planking is considered cheaper as compared to single sheet. The next step is creating under-table. This structure supports the legs hence preventing them basically from moving side to side. Carefully create legs and then attach the legs.
