JAMES' GAMING TABLE! Many congratulations to Jame

JAMES' GAMING TABLE! Many congratulations to James on the completion of his gaming table last week. Made entirely by hand from oak with many mortice & tenon and mitre joints; this is a huge achievement! The table top is made up of a number of leaves that can be removed to reveal an inner recess for playing board games. James has created grooves along the rail sides for holding accessories such as cup and card holders and even drainage channels for spills! Scroll through for some detail and process photos and a couple from James' woodwork beginner days. Seriously well done James 😍 #themakershedbristol #bristol #oak #morticeandtenon #courses #craft #skills #learn #woodwork #gamingtable #handtools #projects #furnituremaking #joinery

TIGER OAK TABLE! Congratulations Helen on completing your beautiful tiger oak side table with mortice and tenon and dovetail joints. This table top is made with breadboard ends, which allow the wood to expand and contract through the seasons whilst keeping the centre sections nice and flat. The mortice and tenon joints of the table top are hidden within the side sections and pegged through from the underside. There are slots through the outer tenons to allow the pegs to move with the wood. #themakershedbristol #bristol #courses #craft #skills #learn #woodwork #breadboardends #handtools #projects #furnituremaking #joinery
