Advice on building a table?

By on Saturday, May 7th, 2011 | 2 Comments

This spring/summer I'm going to make a Kotatsu. The thing is, I want to do it a little differently and make it round (or octagonal) if possible.

My question is this: Can I do a square base and build on a base to fit the top? If so, how would I go about doing it? I have a few ideas but any advice would be appreciated.
a kotatsu is like a coffee table, but the tabletop is separate because you're supposed to put a futon (blanket-like addition) between it and the base - there is a small heater underneath and the futon keeps the heat in.

Traditionally they're square or rectangular. What I'm asking is how would I best go about making it octagonal.

The best way I thought up is to do the square base and then put an addition on top that would basically frame the tabletop when placed on top. I think that's where you were going with the table top fasteners?

    For her birthday my fiance wants a coffee table that looks almost like an aquarium, except instead of fish she wants it to hold sand and those little land hermit crabs. Any ideas on how i can build one and where i can find the supplies. It's kinda different and I sort of like the idea too.

      I'm designing a coffee table using oak wood and a granite top, 12 sq ft. It will weigh about 75 to 80 lbs total. I need 4 wheels/casters, 2 with locks and 2 without and with a modern Euro or American design. I do not want the standard office or furniture type casters. They need to have about a 3 inch diameter, threaded. Black & gray or black & chrome preferred. Thank you for your help and advice. Allen.

      By on Thursday, November 18th, 2010 | 2 Comments

      I'm looking to switch from a standard coffee table to one with cushions that can be used as an ottoman.

      I can't find one I like so far. I'd like to try and build one. Know of any patterns or plans for building an ottoman?

      Or do you know of any sites with lots and lots of choices in ottomans for sale?
