1A+1B | 4A+4B | 2C+3C | A+B | 5XCasters [updated 26apr2026]

so, we're doing this in stages, cause we can only make a bunch of drilling ruckus for about an hour at a time (setup + doing + cleanup), which is really all our bodies can handle without tweaking something these days, lol, and so, i'll just update this post as we screw together the pieces, and then, the final table reveal will prolly be a post all its own.


Table Day 14
A + B & 5XCasters &Done.






well now i'm screaming

(&yes, we know the thing needs leg supports ;)





Table Day 13
2C + 3C

well now i'm wet

the mid-bars are upright!






Table Day 12
4A + 4B

well now i'm hard











all the screws went in easily and some quite deeply
and we do not know what that means
as we know nothing
absolutely nothing
about woodworking
as we are learning by doing
but we're assuming something about the wood's softness
but we don't know if that's good or bad nor how muchly
also
the quality of the wood of legs 1A & 4A are both wanting

and there are a lot of errors yet to be revealed
and i'm excited to find out exactly how much i suck

nevertheless
this has all been really quite fun
we're loving it :)





Table Day 11
1A + 1B

well now i'm thrilled

remember, we were not able to cut the wood to size ourselves
so we are sorta left with what we were given
nevertheless
looking good so far
not great
but good enough

and it's just so so satisfying
to have a built piece!
aannnd
the old, unhelpful perfectionist
is being tested
but i have to remind myself
that this is literally a first draft
so if The Table stands
is level (enough to not wobble/have stuff roll off)
and supports itself and all our stuff
we win!
