Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II


“For those who want the moon but can't afford it or those who can afford it but like to have fun and work with their hands, I'm willing to give out a recipe for a true high-end 'table which is easy to do, and fun to make as sky's the limit on design/creativity! The cost of materials, including 'table, is roughly $200 (depending, more or less), and add to that a Rega tonearm. The results are astonishing. I'll even tell/show you how to make chipboard look like marble and fool and impress all your friends. If there's interest I'll get on with this project, if not, I'll just continue making them in my basement. The next one I make will have a Corian top and have a zebra stripe pattern! Fun! Any takers?”

Full comment - Dear Gadfly, thank you for your insightful and helpful contributions to the thread, dipwad. I know I'll be bookmarking them for future reference. And the internet comment was very clever; did you make that up yourself?

Mario,
Thanks for posting your project photos. The Peter Plate looks great in red and your design is an inspiration.
Please keep us posted.
I know what I'll be doing this Winter!!!
It is beautiful indeed. Looking forward to see it after completion.
Mario, I am about to start a project of my own. Do you know where can I get a cutout template for Leno 75 ?
Keep us posted.
