Earlier this month I bought some rough sawn planks of oak that I made the two items below out of. I've really enjoyed getting my head around making these and following the plans for the coffee table and adjusting them to the size the wife wanted. I made my own plans for the lamp stand. The wood cost me £305, the varnish (Rubio Monocoat) I used cost another £45 and the draw handle was from a set I bought for a previous project. So all in, it cost me £350 to make a solid oak coffee table and lamp stand and two weeks of my time in the shed.
I have overestimated on the amount of wood I bought and could make another coffee table out of it. I would rather be looking at it than looking for it.
I've even made the lamp sitting on the stand.
