My first table

3 years ago by Badass_panda to c/woodworking

Sharing my first table from years ago... Looking at it now there's a ton of issues with it, but about ten years later it's still going strong.

I don't have any fully finished pics of it, but it folds out one direction to form an 8' table, or closes and opens in the other direction to form a lit display case for my sister's artwork.

Awesome table, especially after ten years! Have you ever had to refinish it?

No it's held up very well. I wouldn't use that same hinge design again (if someone opens the leaf without extending the supports it puts a lot of strain on the hinge, I had to replace it after a few years) but the finish has held up great
