1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Any wood workers here?

Looking to get a 20" by 20" square board to make a table top out of, 1" thick.

Prefer it to be ready-to-stain but don't mind needing to sand it a bit.

 

Home depo sells nice butcher blocks that would be perfect for that

 

Aware, but I'll have plenty left over that I'd hate to toss away.

 

Is it hard wood? If not your gunna wanna epoxy it.


If you joint the board you can glue and press them together.
You can ghetto joint with a table saw and need large clamps (which i have)

or buy a actual jointer

 

Then just hand plane it or see if a wood shop will throw it through their planer.

 

I'm not a wood worker, which is why the much easier solution is = look for a 20" square table top for me to finish

 

Go to your local lumber yard then, they can cut you a slab or atleast a large piece you can trim to size

 

Yeah, only a bunch of islands, tables, etc.

But LT comes through way better than randoms on CL/FB.

 

Or be like me and spend all your $$$ on wood tools for one project

Man, you want to steer me off this thread as much as possible.

Just figured I'd ask the crew here

 

This is for a table that will live in a garage that needs a wood top no more than $50.

It's not going to be a show piece in a living room or anything.

 

maybe i miss read, thought you were looking for a place to buy a table top, not looking to see if anyone happened to have one here for sale

 

Yard needs to remain empty for yard work.

But you made nice shelves and multiple other items. I just need a table top

 

Yep.

I can buy it anywhere, but don't want to waste my time going to a lumber yard or three.

It's convenient when someone chimes in and says "I've got one" and it's just extra for that person.

How many times has that happened here already? We've found each other car parts, and other misc. stuff. Zane in PNW, Todd in AZ, Dan in rustville, etc.

 

Speaking of extra stuff, I now have extra replacement leathers for the 2nd row seatback portion of my LC.

Lseat sent me an extra set.

Oh and, I get to take home my Rocket Stove!

 

Naw, I don't know any of those guys.

I'll stick to local unless someone here says something.

 

I got a 4x8 steel plate you can use to make a table
