This project for my in-laws has taken up some serious hours. I did the design in Fusion360.
Lowrider did the rest (with its usual aplomb).
The final table-top is supposed to be a 14’ length of live spalted maple. Unfortunately, it is in quarantine in Brooklyn for the foreseeable future! Base is 93 inches long.
The struts of the benches are clear cedar. Benches are 6’.
Finished everything with Osmo PolyX and a mixture of titanium white pigment from Kremer to mute any discoloration. I wanted a provisional wood shop look. For those who want to avoid dastardly suburban polyurethane/lacquer finishes – I strongly recommend Osmo – a beautiful penetrating oil wax concoction that is non-toxic and environmentally friendly. Perfect for young ages…
I’ll second that holy crap. Awesome stuff, show us more as you can, it’s very impressive seeing something of this scale and what a unique piece for your family.
Wow. It’s funny. I tell people ‘Oh! I have a full size CNC Machine!’ and they’re all excited and happy then they see it and it’s like ‘Oh that’s a toy!’ until you show them the stuff it produces then they all want you to cut things for them on your ‘toy’.
Amazing job on your table! It’s beautiful, and as someone else pointed out, perfect example of what our ‘toys’ can do. Which is, exactly the same thing the big boys can do!
You asked! The OzGoose sailboat (A Michael Storer design). This is 60 percent Lowrider. The project is pretty basic cutting but I leaned on the lowrider for clean accurate cuts – especially on the curves for the outside hull and tanks. Some lowrider products in the background - the table saw and miter stations.
