Hi Everyone,
Long time reader, first time poster. I did have a search around for something similar on here and on google but couldnt find what I was looking for. However, if anyone has a link to something appropriate, please feel free to direct me that way.
I have an outdoor table that can be seen in the pictures below. I really like the design and it fits well in my house but whoever built it must have done it on the cheap or something. The table is 4m long but only the two outside beams are full length.
On top of this, most of the timber has started to warp.
So, I have been working on milling some recycled jarrah to replace what is there. I'll also make some mods to the frame but that will come when the top is finished.
I have a thicknesser which has been useful for certain lengths of jarrah that have been straight and true. However, I have have a couple that I cant just run through the thicknesser as none of the faces are flat. Without a jointer, I have been wondering the best way to produce a flat face. For reference, my jarrah lengths are ~4.5m and 100x80 sections.
My current plan is to build a square and true 'bed' or jig for the beams to sit in. From there, the bed will have a flat face that I can use with a router or a circular saw (depending on the piece with a usual max cutting depth of 85mm). I have provided some screen shots below.
The empty section in the middle is where the jarrah will sit. The big beam at the bottom is to ensure that the whole bed is flat and the two smaller beams will be my flat surface for the router/ circular saw. Everything shown is steel which I will weld together.
Here is an overall view:
And a close up of a section of the beam. I will get these plates laser cut.
With the information above, is there a simpler way of achieving what I need without a jointer? Has anyone had any experience with something like this?
Many thanks in advance for any replies.
