i just bought a bunch of these old scaffoldingboards on ebay. super cheap and way more than i expected...so saturday morning i took a couple boards to my fellow woodmill to get them planed off.
i´ve never seen that happen before-it´s fantastic! you throw a dirty old board in and get a fresh and perfectly straight board out. i love it!
i started with the tabletop because it takes some hours for the glue to dry. i used these wooded pegs to join the boards.
then i started working on the base...i wanted to have some angles in it but as usual i didn´t scetch anything out or took the time to document the process properly. sorry.
i wanted to make this table a stable as possible so i decided to use this (whatever it is called) technique , i think it doesn´t get any stronger than this. i also tried to avoid any screws and went with wooden pegs.
