I did originally plan on having the table fold down and have the legs fold out of the table top. It limited the sizes I could work with though because the legs needed to be able to fit inside the top. I would also lose some of the central supports. Another option was to keep the legs hinged to the wall and have the table fold down to cover them. Again I decided against this because I would take up twice the depth away from the wall. The wall space above was less useful to me so I opted to have the table fold up.

Some great ideas there! Would definitely add more strength to the structure.

Thanks! Im thinking of adding a hole to the top of each leg and then adding screws to the underside of the table top. The screw head will sit in the holes and I can use them to the level the top if need be. It would be great for use in a sewing room. I did think of drop down legs but Im glad I went with this design instead.

Thanks � floor space is invaluable in my workshop. My larger tools (table saw, bandsaw) are on wheels so I need the floor space open to use them. I also need table space too so this was the best option for me

Thats something I definitely should have added. I'm thinking of adding a hole to the top of each leg and then adding screws to the underside of the table top. The screw head will sit in the holes and I can use them to the level the top if need be.

It would be great for a tiny house! Thanks

Thanks Penolopy! :) Defintely open to many designs, just let your creativity run wild

Thank you Charlynn! Im glad you found it helpful. I had the same issue trying to find a simple comparison between ink jet and laser printer results. Ive since bought a laser printer myself, so far so good. I wish I had bought one sooner

Thanks! :)

Thanks Dan! :)

Thanks Richard! Unfortunately the stencils are one time use. It might be possible to cut some acetate and use a light spray adhesive but I've never tried it, just a thought Ive had

You can use etching cream too. I've used Armour Etch and it works really well for what it is. I wasn't happy with the coverage though and compared to sandblasting the etch isnt vary visible.

Thank you! :)

Thank you! Its a very enjoyable project :) I hope people can learn from my mistakes haha

Thank you! Thats very kind of you to say. I hope you find it useful when you tackle your riverbed table :)

Thank you! Thats a great idea :)

Haha Thanks! Track saw is also called a plunge saw lol

Thank you! I did have a nightmare with it haha I thought I was best to add some proteciton on top of the resin because I dont know how suseptable it is to scratching. With drinks and other things being thrown on coffee tables all the time I wanted a hard wearing finish on top

Thank you Graham! Im really glad you liked it.

Thank you! This is the first time I've tried anything like this so I cant say for 100% that it wont but I'm confident it will be fine. The moss should only go brown when exposed to oxygen. Its sealed in resin so it shouldnt go brown or rot.

Thank you! It was roughly 3 litres of resin to fill it haha

Thanks for your honest feedback. Everyone has different tastes I guess. You can make things as realistic and as abstract you like really. The possibilities are endless :)

Thank you! I always show the mistakes and struggles I have. Im just an Average Joe at the end of the day haha if I can prevent others from making the same mistakes I do its all worth while :) Thank you for voting too! I really appreciate it

Thank you! A router sled would have been a much better choice for sure. I'll definitely make one ready for the next table I make

Thanks! Those are great ideas. I did concider putting in a toy car tyre but like you say I didnt want to clutter it.

Thank you! Im really glad you like it :)

WOW! That has turned out amazing! I'm really glad you liked the design enough to make it too.

Thanks Paul! :)

That is a possibility for sure but with the timber being very well seasoned and it being sealed with polyurethane I'm confident in its movement being minimal. Especially being an indoor piece of furniture

Thanks Alex! :)

I was going to add a lazy susan but it was really noisey so I decided against it. the lazy susan would help to reach the back though unfortunately

Thanks! Id like to make another as a media centre :)

Thank you! :)

Thanks mate! :)

Thanks :)
