Printer table update #3 or 4?

It's been a while since I last seen my parents and I believe it's been even longer since I last worked on the printer table I've mentioned a few times before.

After a few months of this being set aside for various reasons I finally had the chance to work on it! About two weeks ago I put all the peaces together (top included) and I sanded the rough areas.

Personally I think that it turned out looking awesome! Especially since this is the first wood project I do :D

If I where to take it and compare it to what my little brother has been working on... well...

Yeah... It defiantly isn't as pretty lol I also got a lot of help from my dad and well he didn't need help...  My brother is really talented!

I got more time to work on the table last week. I did more sanding and stained it and i had a little extra time left to put on a first coat of varnish.

My dad had fun taking pictures and my brother helped out with the staining so that it would go a little faster.

Hopefully I'll get some time this week to give it another coat of varnish.

A simple printer table with 3 shelves - In Progress - Update #2

Yesterday afternoon I went to visit my dad to keep working on the printer table he's been teaching me to make...

I thought that it would be all done by the end of the day but there was lots more work than what I was thinking. I managed to do some sanding and put the facing peaces on the shelves and put most of the table together.

 This is what it looked like when we where gluing the facing to the shelves

There was some issues making the frame level... first you try to put it level by pushing it to the right and then it's not level cause it leans to much to the right so we push it to the left and then again to the right... but it's level now.


After it was level we put in the backing to keep it nice and straight.

The table top is missing but after that's put on the table I'll be ready to stain it... I think

'Till next time

A simple printer table with 3 shelves - In Progress

A few weeks ago or maybe months I decided that my giant printer/scanner/copier is way too big to sit on the beutifull desk my dad had made for me a few years ago. I decided to take action and asked my dad to teach me wood working by helping me make a table for my printer.

 This is my computer desk... I should of cleaned before taking the picture lol

So far I bought the wood… or tried too… it wouldn’t fit in my car so I paid my dad to go buy it for me.Then i drew a plan based on the computer desk. I then learned to use a table saw and cut out the peaces for the sides and shelves

Last week I learned how to use the planer to smooth out the imperfections that existed on the facing panels.
After my dad showed me how to use a router (the thing that you use to create grooves to put in the shelves).

And yesterday i worked on the facing. The only thing left now is assembling it, staining it and then varnishing it.

I don't have any pictures of it yet... I was too busy working to think of pictures lol I'll post pictures of the table next time I work on it.
