X Table made from reclaimed wooden joists and 2x4s. The table is stabilised using 20mm metal box section welded into the same X pattern as the wooden legs and then screwed into place at the top and bottom of each leg. The top is fixed to the legs using a section of right angle steel (from an old bed frame) which is screwed to the legs and the top. The table planks are joined using biscuits (no, not the edible kind!). I'm an amateur when it comes to woodwork though I do enjoy DIY projects of any kind. Using reclaimed wood made the whole project very tricky as it was warped, dirty and full of holes. I love the character of the wood, especially once it was sanded and oiled, but getting everything lined up and straight took a lot of planing and sanding! I finished the top with a food-safe type oil/wax mixture.
