Edward O'Keeffe Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Well now the weather here in the frozen North has turned, I am back in the shop. Here is my most recent project, it is a slightly altered copy of a knock down trestle table that we bought at MTA from the great folks of Lord Grey's Retinue. All she needs now is finish sanding, stain and a good coat of oil.
callenish gunner Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Very nice looking table Mr. O'Keeffe! Would care to share additional detail on the construction of said table; like the leg attachment techniques & the break down status?
Edward O'Keeffe Posted May 25, 2010 Author Posted May 25, 2010 Pretty standard construction, breadboard edge on tabletop to keep it flat, wedged stretcher. I did use Allen screw fastener nuts from the big orange box to tie the leg assemblies to the top. (some minor modification required) The whole thing packs down to 70" L x 22.5" W x 3.5" thick. I sized the top to fit up against the wall of my trailer.
callenish gunner Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Very nice, doesn't look too hard to do ...I'm looking for a few good designs to make some new camp furniture
Jas. Hook Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 EO'K - Very nice indeed! One comment though - the bottom feet look a bit thin for a traveling table.

Capt. Sterling Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Ohhhhh prettyyyy... seriously, nice job... need about twenty more...ahem...

Hook I thought about that, they are 5/4 stock and the clearest grained portions of the boards, If I run into problems, I can apply hardwood runners to the bottom for added strength.
