erg/home/wtf.htm: Coffee Table: Step 1

Thursday, January 15, 2009

I've started to make a coffee table. I purchased a handful of 1x3x8's and cut them all in half. So thats where it's at right now... stay tuned.

FYI, cause I know you were wondering - the boards I purchased (you know the 1x3x8's) actually measured 3/4in by 2 and 3/4in by 8ft.

Phil said...: its because saw blades are 1/4 inch thick.

But why did you cut them ALL in half? A sacrifice to the sawdust gods?; 8:14 PM
milkman said...: It's also because lumber companies are cheap.

So, are you going to make the table surface with them all sanwiched together like that? Or will this be a standard faire coffee table?; 9:06 PM
Raven said...: I cut them in half for two reasons.

1. 8ft is way too long for a coffee table.

2. its my fucking coffee table - i cut them in half.

They're be sandwiched together just like you see them here.; 10:39 PM
