Sounds awesome can't wait to see pics. Hopefully you'll share.
I sourced the lumber from a little shop here in Idaho. It was rough sawn and thankfully straight enough. I don't have a planer so I just sanded for days until my arm fell off.
Alright @[email protected] -- I finally got it posted. I think a question mark(?) or something was angering the gods of lemmy. Here it is: Imgur Coffee Table Build/Etc.
Well howdy neighbor (I'm in Oregon)! I, too, sanded my arms off before switching to a hand plane that I set up as a scrub plane. It was kind of mind-blowing how much faster and easier it was, but I of course didn't figure that out until I'd also tried a belt sander and random orbital sander for days... live and learn lol.
I'll put together a post for the coffee table (or dig up my reddit/imgur one) and share it here, and I'll tag you, assuming I can figure out how to do so.
