Table top was glued up using wooden dowels to fasten together the stock and then was cut into the appropriate shape. Then the entire thing was fastened to a sheet of 3/4 plywood, allowing for expansion of the wood. The sides and front are thicker than the middle so the plywood does not show.
Since I made the piece longer than I needed, I was able to use the cutoff for a backsplash. So the backsplash would not break I cut out the back and inserted a wooden spline for strength.
When I found it there were two mismatched jalousie windows on the sides. Even after alot of help from the forum I was unable to find replacements so I had to opt for the radius corner windows. Ordered them from the guys at Scamp. Here are the pictures of the install process.
It was not as difficut as I had anticipated. Less open area for airflow than the originals but that was offset by the fantastic fan install.
Hi Jay,
Do you have any pictures of the fibreglassing of the corners to accommodate the radius corner? Any advise on making the width/strength of the corner fibreglass would be great.
Our table is also glued up boards with one difference, the pieces go in the other direction almost meaning you have to break the boards to cause them to separate.
The first picture shows our table is only half as long as the standard table. The second picture shows that the finished table is two identical hinged pieces. I lower the table down in the halved state and then unfold it.
I bought each half of the table as a glued up pine 2x4x0.75 board at Home Depot and cut it to the required width. I stained and then urethaned it with multiple coats.
We chose the half table because it makes sitting at the table easier and opens the trailer, making it appear larger. It makes sitting at the table easier. As well it is easier to set up as a bed than a full table.
Doors are maple with a catalyzed clear lacquer over them. Sprayed them using an HVLP sprayer, 3 coats with light sanding between coats. I like the lacquer better than poly or varnish.
