Turtle Woodwork

Thanks

 

Evening all! I hope you had a productive day.

 

Good morning, Ms Mollie!

 

I have a lot of bees, hornets, nest in vehicles mirrors, behind outside light fixture, in sheds overhangs.

I also have,

 

Morning gents

Spend your day well!

 

50 ft of 10/3. That cost a little more than $5.

 

Morning Mollie

 

Morning Ken

 

Time to try tackling this table today. I want to get the top all put together.

 

Well I didn't anticipate that taking all morning. I figured I'd be home for lunch, but alas, here I am with a stalk of celery and an apple.

 

Eating healthy is a good thing . Table top looks damn good

 

Unless you want 5 pieces of wood flipping skyward, it takes what it takes.

Are you planning to reinforce the bottom with a full sheet or do you think the squares will maintain form under weight for years?

 

Not criticizing, but just curious ...

Is there a reason you chose 4 rectangles instead of 45 degree corners on the border ... example:

 

I reinforced the bottom. There's a sheet under there.

 

No offense taken.

All my attempts to do 45 degree angles have been rough, so I wanted to not ruin it over the outer frame.

 

Do you have a chop-saw? My 45 degree cuts like that are not perfect upon close examination, but if I had to do those correctly I would get a chopsaw.

 

I do. Every time I try to put corners together they aren't perfect and it drives me crazy. I get like a 16th inch gap.

 

Well ... wood workers have learned about this critical concept called "kerf". Shall I explain it to you?
