wooden end table

Problem

I saw an end table on Amazon but I wanted to build it myself and have my own woodworking project (plus an end table for my living room would be a nice addition to the space).

Objective

To fabricate a wooden end table (similar to the design in Figure 1).

Skills Employed

• Onshape 3D CAD model
• Chop Saw
• Vertical Bandsaw
• Joiner
• Planar
• Belt Sander
• Manual Mill

Approach

• Getting funding for resources:
• To create a bill of materials (BOM) and an Onshape 3D CAD model (of the overall design, dimensions, and assembly) to apply for the Engineering Innovation Fund at Boston University.
• Making Table Legs (Figure 3.)
• After receiving all of my parts, I first drew out the dimensions on the wood I received.
• Since the makerspace did not have any table saws, I cut the shape of the legs using the chop/miter saw and the vertical band saw. Then I sanded down any edges.
• Making Rattan Book Rest
• Marked the dimensions on the wood
• Used the bandsaw to cut out the parts
• Sanded the edges
• Making Table Top
• Used the joiner and planar to decrease the height of the wood.
• Marked the dimensions on the wood
• Used the manual mill to mill out an indented section (Figure 4)
• Assembly
• Sanded, sanded, sanded.
• Joined components using dowels and wood glue
