Microsoft Coffee Table

Its hard for the camera to pick up all the detail and richness of this table…… This is a concrete coffee table and 2 end table that I built. I used 7 colors of acid stain to achieve the color and rich details in the coffee table. For added effects I used quarts stone to add veins to the concrete that would be highlighted by the colors because the quarts will not take up the stain. I then epoxy coated the coffee table for a smooth glassy surface. The end tables only have concrete sealer on them because epoxy is expensive and when you set hot things on epoxy it can indent the surface therefore the end tables allow you to set hot things on them… There were more techniques that I used other than acid stain to achieve these effects. Most of which is in my mix design… I would be more than happy to answer any questions, be patient with your work and don’t get frustrated. Remember anyone can cast some concrete but few have the artistic side to achieve their desired results.

This is my n scale coffee table layout with the new powerpack I built to fit in the drawer. Entire unit including the table was built myself, Debbie and some dubious help from Max. Layout runs two trains with an additional train on the passing siding.

Lowe’s Woodworkers Shop Class host, Keith Flippen, begins working on a new coffee table. In Part 1, Keith demonstrates how to build the coffee table top with pine wood. There are two steps to creating the top: the center section and the outer frame assembly. To build the center section, cut slats to length with a miter saw. Then, add pocket holes with a pocket hole jig. Attach the narrow slats first by applying glue and then by adding pocket hole screws. Next, attach wider slats to the narrow ones with glue and pocket holes screws. To build the outer frame assembly, cut the edging and cleats to length, making sure to cut the edging to 45 degrees on each end (as you will be attaching them in a square). Then, add glue to the edging and attach with nails. Position the cleats so they are flush with the edging, connecting them with nails. Lastly, test fit the center section in the edging. If they fit, attach with glue and brads. Watch Part 2 of ‘How to Build a Coffee Table’ to learn how to assemble the coffee table legs.

Attached is a collage of stills and video of my N Scale, Colorado Rockies themed coffee table. Basically, I hid a model railroad in plain sight in a piece of furniture so it would be at home anywhere in the house. Who says trains don’t belong in the living room???

Noguchi Coffee Table in Walnut review and show off. You can buy here: www.amazon.com “Everything is sculpture, any material, any idea without hindrance born into space, I consider sculpture.” -Isamu Noguchi Sculptor Isamu Noguchi’s coffee table joins a curved, solid wood base with a freeform glass top. The ethereal result does not diminish the practical design: a sturdy and durable table. This balance of sculptural form and everyday function has made the Noguchi table an understated and beautiful element in homes and offices since its introduction in 1948. Unwilling and unable to be pigeonholed, Noguchi created sculptures using any medium he could get his hands on: stone, metal, wood, clay, bone, paper, or a mixture of any or all–carving, casting, cutting, pounding, chiseling, or dynamiting away as each form took shape. “To limit yourself to a particular style may make you an expert of that particular viewpoint or school, but I do not wish to belong to any school,” he said. “I am always learning, always discovering.” Noguchi believed the sculptor’s task was to shape space, to give it order and meaning, and that art should “disappear,” or be as one with its surroundings. His relationship with Herman Miller® came about when one of his designs was used to illustrate an article written by George Nelson called “How to Make a Table.” It became his famous “coffee table,” and it’s as appealing today as it was then. For someone who was told by his first art teacher at age 15 that …

A cool feature of Rhino 3D is the ability to draw a shape and then “extrude it” to a 3D object. Here we use that technique to draw a 50′s or 60′s style coffee table.
