*Jen* Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Beautiful! I have been looking at that website for months trying to find the time to make something. My DH has all the tools I would need I just don't have the time away from the kids to try it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarlaS Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 DeWalt DW317K Factory Reconditioned Variable-Speed Compact Jig Saw Kit 2200741$59.55 Ordered: 1 Shipped: 1 $59.55 DeWalt DW716 Factory Reconditioned 12-inch Double Bevel Compound Miter Saw 2200644$299.99 Ordered: 1 Shipped: 1 $299.99 I have the 10" DeWalt Miter saw. They are awesome. I do not own, but have used the above jigsaw. It's on my power tool wish list. It's very nice. :thumbup1: Have you researched table saws or drill presses at all? I'm thinking those are going to be my next purchases. I have plans to build a loftbed for ds 16 in the very near future. He's going to help--a lot. I made one for his brother (now 13) with just an ordinary drill and that was for the birds. I need 90 degree angles for bolt holes. It's just better for everyone when it works the first time (and mom swears less ;)). I also own and (do not care for) a circular saw. I think I'd be more comfortable trying to control the wood than the saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarlaS Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 WOW! Are you taking orders?! :p Now having one made would be truly awesome. I just thought she was power tool enabling. Darla - who really wants this table saw. :drool5: Darla - who does not know what a rack and pinion fence rail is, but is pretty sure she must have one. Darla - who does know what "soft start" means and is really psyched about THAT. :w00t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truebluexf Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Wow. I love it!!! I'm trying to decide what to use in our school room, and was debating between separate desks that can be pushed together or a big table....now I have to throw this in the mix LOL. DH woodworks too. :) I have to ask, did you join the wood for the tabletop? How did you make the solid plank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can purchase solid pieces of wood in that size at any of the major stores. It was Aspen and cost $30. I don't have the tools to do joinery or I would.

truebluexf Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Cool thanks. :) DH has a biscuit joiner...but he doesn't enjoy doing it LOL!!! I didn't realize you could buy pieces like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nukeswife Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I love it!!! I have been wanting to get into woodworking for a while, I'll have to check out that site. I'd love to make the same table on a little larger scale. I like the table we have now for school, but like the storage that yours has underneath.

Sparkle Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 That is so nice! What a great skill to have. I'm very impressed. Make sure you post another picture when you have it stained/painted so we can admire it some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satori Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Wow. Very impressed! I'm kinda inspired now... and DH is setting up a corner in our garage for woodworking, even though both of us are total computer geeks. I was laughing at him at the time, but now...

StephanieZ Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Too funny!! I have a table nearly just like that . . . which I convinced dh to make b/c of the one in the Land of Nod catalog!! We've had it about 4-5 years and it is AWESOME! Too funny! ETA: My only complaint is that sometimes the kids drive me nuts by shelving half the books w/ the binding towards one side and half the other way so you can't find things easily. Train the kids to always face the bindings ONE direction for your sanity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
