Possible Foyer Table Plan
Here was my thought on a table design. The laminate choice would be important as it would completely change the look and feel of the unit. You could go real industrial or very traditional. Forgive the quick drawing, but I wanted to get something out for the sake of our discussion.

I really like it! IT looks sharp! I think this could be done @ budget as well.
ReplyDeleteFew concerns:
1. How would you curve the base and top counter? A jig saw would be necessary of course, but getting a steady pen to mark the curvature of the lines would be tricky.
2. Will the finished product be too heavy to easily be moved by 2 men, while sturdy to support people leaning on it (which is inevitable)?
Can anyone else help figure out ways to make this work and meet those parameters?
I like the rounded look of the top two choices. You only have to draw half of it and use the mirror image to replicate the same shape to the other side for the template. Cutting outside the line and sanding back down to the line should provide a smooth edge, right? Also, do we have someone experienced with laminating not only the tops but the sides as well? This does look like a heavy table, and I'd like to see how secure/sturdy 5 2x4s standing on end would be. Would we need some braces or would it be strong enough when assembled?
ReplyDeleteIt shouldn't be an issue to move it. I have a guy that works for me that I could get to construct the tops for us cheap so that we didn't have to worry about the laminate or the curve or anything. It could be done as 1 piece if the curve is shallow. If it's more of a half circle, then you would need 2 pieces butted up against each other to make the top. Bracing shouldn't be necessary as long as the support wall was placed properly. Otherwise, you could add a decorative support brace on the ends and 1 in the middle. Overall, I think it can be done for $200 - $250.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea on both of these. I like the style of Chris's better but I like them both. I saw some tables like this on some exihition sites.
ReplyDeleteWhat about instead of plywood we used a thick fabric or even an Indoor outdoor carpet on the front of Chris's design(maybe a black)?
I think this would cut down on some of the weight.
We could even get fancy and have a little shadow box on the front with the Revolve Logo and the Growth Track logo and a place to hold the "S.O.A.P" logo.
I think with the shelves and the two ends there would be plenty of support and if we need it too we could run a support right down the middle of the front.
Not sure if any of that made any sense.
