OK, the first post here: Sets the scene.
Project #2. With all of us working at home now, we needed a new workspace. We were also just gifted a used TV for the kids to use in another room. So, I set out again to relieve some stress.
Not as many details on this one, as you can see it's pretty simple. Just glued up a handful of boards. The fun part here was using epoxy for the first time to fill some of the knot holes, instead of cutting around them. Worked really well and I thought turned out great. Anyway, here ya go.
Filling with epoxy: Used the stuff from Rockler, worked really well, although took a day or more to cure.
Rather than running it all through the planer, cause I had already thicknessed all the boards, I used a spokeshave and sanded to get smooth.
Desktop glue up. I need more clamps.
Added runners under the top for stability.
Final in the wild
In the house/with the new TV.
This was a fun one and keeps with the simple/light airy feel.
Thanks for looking.
Kevin
