Materials –
There are a variety of materials both woods and tools required throughout this project to have a successful completion. There are 3 different woods needed for each section of the table. The woods and sized required are: ALL MEASUREMENTS ARE IN MILLIMETERS.
* Table top: Wood - Hoop Pine – 90 x 19 x 4/360 (WxTxL)
* Securing Plate: Wood – Ply Wood – 120x120
* Turned centre: Wood - Meranti – 65x65x450

Also PVA glue is needed to assist joints and give them a firmer hold.
Tools and Equipment –
* Try square – used to ensure that cutting lines on the wood were accurate at 90 degrees. This makes the project look professional and precise.
* Steel Rule –To ensure markings marked on the project were accurate to required measurements.
* Tenon saw – used to cut the wood into measurements from the plan which was given.
* Marking Gauge – used to creating a mark on the turned centre so when planning I didn’t plane past the mark
* Jack Plane – Once the marks were set...
