I have decided for shits and giggles to make a table. Because why not. I can do kitchens and bathrooms and stuff and have an array of tools. The only thing I'd need would be some sash clamps.
We want something around 2.1x1m in size and that shit's expensive, so instead I'll be making one from (probably) PSE 32x220mm boards for the top, edge glued without dowels or biscuits for alignment, with 100x100mm legs, support between legs at either end and then between both pairs.
Probably going with 32x70mm ribs underneath the top though from looking at The Sagulator, I'll probably not actually need them.
What could go wrong, lol.
Sketchup to follow and then eventual pics.
Oh, and while my plans for a workshop haven't advanced any further at all (baby on the way), I have sketchup'd a 10x7m 3 car pitched roof garage. I have a dream. My design is literally built brick by brick, insulation board by insulation board.
EDIT: Sketchup.
We looked at the versions with the 32mm top and it looked a bit weedy compared to the 45mm. So this model is 45mm top, 95mm square legs and beam. 2.2m x 975mm table size, boards are 45x195 planed square edge (50x200mm nominal). From the Sagulator, if I (125kg) stood in the middle of the 5 boards glued together with no central support leg, the table would sag 1.4mm if the top is just floating on the legs. Not sure I'll do the central support. Cost difference is nothing.
EDIT 2:
Wood ordered £252 total and I'll have some spare bits left over
Glue, 4x 1200mm Sash Clamps, 2x 500x120mm F Clamps, 2x 200x50mm F Clamps, 4x 300mm quick grip clamps, nuts bolts and washers ordered. £142
Never count tools in a project cost though as I have them for life after that project and I always find a use!
Tools have arrived!
You can never have too many clamps. With the 12 in this order that takes me up to 16, not including smaller spring clamps.
Thinking about leaving it unfinished to develop the nice scrubbed top look. Worst comes to the worst I have to do it later.
EDIT:3
Also ordered a metric Swanson speed square, some chisels as my set have gone walkies and a wooden mallet.
Since I've been bored at work I've been watching a lot of Matthias Wandel, John Heisz, Steve Ramsey and Glen from DIY Creators.
In other news, the cot bed we bought the for the baby has a drawer runner missing and even if it didn't, the 67cm deep drawer only opened 30cm. New runners soft close BB rails to be fitted.
Wish I had somewhere to set up my gear and leave it set up. Pining for my workshop right now lol
