A nest of three tables made from Tasmanian Oak offcuts.

The project

 

I had these small off-cut timber boards that were destined for firewood. I was going to make chopping boards out of them, however, I wasn’t sure of the type of glue was used to laminate them together, so I decide to make this set of planter stands. I got the idea from the internet. I used Tasmanian Oak. This project took me six days to complete.

 

Steps

 

Step 1

 

Cut angles on each board on a saw table.

Step 2

 

Glue up and clamp together for two of the stands. For the third stand I used superglue with a spray accelerator and the wood glue. This worked well: no clamping required.

No clamps used for this one, just super glue and wood glue.

Make up spline jig and cut and glue splines.

Step 4

 

Sand and paint. I used water based clear varnish, applied with a piece off cut sponge (no brush marks).
