This project came about as a design challenge to reuse leftover materials. These were offcuts of various lengths and widths from a previous project. knowing that I wanted to make some sort of table, I started by measuring all of the offcuts and playing around with material arrangements in Rhino (CAD Software). Once i had a design that I liked, i created technical drawings and cut lists. The material limitation led to some interesting features on the final design like the triple layered leg and support system that was composed of 3 thinner layers of wood laminated together to for the joints for the legs. The table was made as a gift for my wife who gave it its’ iconic name.

CAD
After all of the scrap materials were measured and labeled, Rhino was used to ideate arrangements and forms that could be accomplished with the materials.
tabletop
The thickest leftovers were used for making the tabletop. These pieces were glued and reinforced with floating tenons to keep them together. I also made a table saw jig in order to cut the sharp miter on the tabletops edge.
legs
I didn't have enough thick material leftover to make properly thick legs, so I created a design that uses 3 layers laminated together in order to make them thick enough. A tapering jig was also cut on the table saw to create the legs profile.
final assembly
After all of the pieces were cut and dry fitted together, they were clamped and glued together. The final finish was accomplished through Maker Brands Simple Finish.
