Completed as a portfolio piece for my Humber Industrial Design application.
The table top was completed with curly maple and a walnut band and the legs are aluminum tubing connected with epoxy.
This piece was an exercise in creative problem solving. Having to join the table legs without expensive equipment required the development of an epoxy joint in order to support any weight that would be thrown at the table.
Dry fitting the curly maple top and aluminum legs
Dry fitting the table legs
Prototyping the leg joints in order to avoid welding and working with tools that were available
A pair of side tables built to match the original coffee table in style and function. Mixing aluminum, maple and walnut to complete our guest room.
This project expanded on the learnings of the first table. Specifically how to achieve a uniform coat of paint that can withstand scratches and everyday use.
Priming the aluminum legs before the black matte paint.
Drilling the table top for the threaded inserts that allow the legs to be removed for transport.
Preparation for final protective coating.
