We had this really small and ugly kitchen table for quite a long time and after I had finished my degree in autuum of 2016 I had a bit of free time to build a couple of things for our place. This table was one of these things. It combines a welded steel frame with a solid oak table top. The short sides of the table top are heavily beveled and just like the trapeze shape legs they give the table somewhat of an elegant look. Welding up the 2mm wall thickness pipe with the stick welder was a challenge, but as some of you might know I really have it with welding even tiny things using my trusty stick machine so that wasn't a real problem. The wood for the top underwent the standard milling routine of jointing, edge jointing, planing and sawing with a few other nifty steps that are shown in this video. For example edge jointing to a perfect fit using the circular saw. And cutting the heavy bevel using a custom jig and the circular saw. After gluing up the pieces I filled all the defects with a black filler paste, added a bow tie spline to a crack to keep it drom widening, and finished the table top using four coats of counter top oil. At last we assembled the table in our kitchen.
