Very swish. I might convert the big one in Hugo to free standing like that so I can use it outside.

I made this for mine a couple of weeks ago,beginning to wonder if it was a good idea !

Wow that's a lot of work very neat work

 

[n brown]

actually it's a very easy to make,whereas yours seems to be a sandwich and I still want to know what the white bit in he middle is !

back to wood working school for me then a brill job well done.:hammer:

It's a kind of sandwich but the filling is actually a thin strip of cherry inlaid . The frame of the table is ex 1" utile built up around the edges with a second ex1" strip. The cherry inlay then hides the lamination joint .
I was just playing really as I have just moved my workshop and was waiting to get all my 3 phase stuff wired in .

It's not difficult if you got all the kit ,just time consuming

if anyone cares,for mine you just need some strips of wood,any size you want,but all the same thickness and width,in 3 different colour woods.set the chopsaw to 30degrees and make a cut,then set the length stop to make a perfect diamond.as I cut my strips to about 4mm thick,i could cut 6 diamonds at a time so didn't take long, then stick them to ply and cut the size top you want. easy peasy !

Table looks great ,you got the variation in the timber colours bang on . Did you tape all the pieces together before gluing, ?

I pinned a straight strip on the edge of the ply then just glued them straight on with pva. as for the timber,it's all scrap. an old window frame,a table leg ,etc. I love my planer/thicknesser !

Judging by the second pic it looks as though you've snuck in and fitted it in our Lunar Premier, unfortunately not the case. We've got the original which someone has tinkered with and it's dead wobbly.

Our motorhome is a Homecar which i think is the same company as Lunar. Every thing is built to be as light as possible which doesnt leave much for sturdiness, Hope you love your motorhome as much as we love ours

Very useful! I sold my 10" planer/thicknesser a few years ago as I wasn't using it as much as I should. I find that my 2HP 1/2" table router takes care of most jobs, including planing (small) table edges. It also takes up less room!
