By Marie Butler


Table is simply household furniture. It basically consists of flat top which is supported by some legs, trestles or pillars. The top surface may in some case be made of wood, plastic, stone, glass or metal. This furniture type can be divided into mechanical or fixed furniture. Fixed furniture does not actually move or rotate in anyway. Hand made tables are very essential for many residents.

Furniture is sometimes used by homeowners to depict their lifestyle. Some homeowners will buy furniture so that they can complement their houses. There are several types of such furniture available today. These types include dining, bedside and coffee tables. Some designs are in such a way that they can offer storage for documents. These designs are mostly used in offices.

One of the most common types of furniture is dining room table basically used by people when they are seated to eat meals. This is common because almost every home has this kind of furniture. The most appealing and welcome dining furniture is one made from wood. Homeowners deciding to buy this furniture need to first consider their dining hall or room area.

Knowing the dimensions of your dining hall or space will help one choose the most appropriate furniture for that available space. Coffee table is another type that is quite familiar and usually it is short furniture used mostly in living rooms. This table is mostly used to display some items or even to serve refreshments.

To build a table can prove quite difficult for some beginners. But there is no reason to worry as long as one has the right tools they will make it. The tools can range from table saw, drill, nails, radial arm saw, rechargeable screwdriver, pocket-hole jig, chisel as well as hand-held sander belt. To begin with, one needs to buy piece of paper, a pencil and a ruler.

First and foremost, a person should have a piece of paper, ruler and pencil. Draw a rough sketch of the design you want on your piece of paper using the pencil. Brainstorming is the best way of coming up with a good design. When sketching the design, a person should not consider dimensions. Once the design is complete, now one can start figuring out the dimensions.

The type of table design one has will determine the dimensions. Dining and also beside table will with no doubt have varying dimensions. After the dimensions are established they can be used to evaluate the number of wood that will be enough for the furniture. Wood amount should not be fixed to avoid running short of wood when constructing.

It is not good to be exact on the number of wood needed. It is advisable to add little extra wood to cater for any shortcomings. Once you are certain on the amount of wood required, the next stage is purchasing your wood. For those people who are not so familiar with carpentry, it is wise to use soft wood such as pine because the tree is known to be easy to work with. Next step is constructing your table top. Cut your wood, smear it with glue and clamp it, then leave it to dry through the night. Lastly create the legs and fix them to the under surface.
