Kids Table - Part 3

Not much to finish up this project. I smoothed out the joints in the top with a belt sander and a 100grit belt, than used a Random Orbital Sander to sand everything with 120 and 220 grit discs.

A few swipes with a 100 grit sanding block to ease over all of the sharp corners, and a few extra swipes to ease up the bottom edges of the legs.

The legs and stretchers were glued and clamped overnight, with a few screw blocks added to the stretchers. Before attaching the blocks, I drill oversize holes in them which will then be used to attach the top.

Once everything had a chance to dry I applied Watco Danish Oil, following the directions on the can. Wipe on and wipe off. Couldn't be easier.

Lastly the table was moved back into the house where it was immediately put to use.


Now I've got to make up some chairs to go with it...
