The Blade Table has now had its last coat of Osmo, the grain of this Monkey Pod is stunning. We are now just waiting for delivery of the bronze inlays. These will be set into that centre of the table and run end to end. Couldn’t help having a play with the mechanism, it’s so slick. - - - - - - - - - - - #bladetable #custommade #diningtable #furnituredesign #design #craftmanship #extendingdiningtable #bespoke #table #tables #handmade #bespokefurniture #handmadeinengland #bronze #designermaker #modernfurniture #interiordesign #furniture #monkeypod #expandingtable #finefurniture #madeby68 #homedecor #cabinetmaking #finishcarpentry #contemporarydesign #handcrafted #finewoodworking #luxurydesign #bespokefurnituredesigner https://www.instagram.com/p/CBXe6iqjB6B/?igshid=eh9edloaqun0

We’ve now had the hi-resolution shots back from the photographer. Sam has done an amazing job, he has totally captured the wonderful grain of this Monkey Pod timber and highlighted some great detail shots too. I’m absolutely thrilled with them. This Blade Table has been a real labour of love, it’s great to get it finished. These tables are made to commission, and completely bespoke. This example when extended will comfortably seat 16 diners.

Onto hinging the extension elements of the Blade Table. We are using Soss hinges, although they are expensive they are extremely well engineered. As with most concealed hinges, there is zero adjustment so it’s essential that the mortises are accurately positioned. We’ve made a one piece jig that references on one edge of the components and is also reversible, this ensures accurate placement for perfect alignment. A typical case of a jig taking a few hours to make, to do a job that takes 10 mins. - - - - - - - - - - - #bladetable #custommade #diningtable #furnituredesign #design #craftmanship #extendingdiningtable #bespoke #table #tables #handmade #bespokefurniture #handmadeinengland #bronze #designermaker #modernfurniture #interiordesign #furniture #monkeypod #expandingtable #finefurniture #madeby68 #homedecor #cabinetmaking #finishcarpentry #contemporarydesign #handcrafted #finewoodworking #luxurydesign #bespokefurnituredesigner https://www.instagram.com/p/B_g4FX6Do52/?igshid=1tn3bv821ta5t

More Blade table progress. The oak ladder frame has been glued up and the legs have now been fitted. We have inserted some solid timber into the bottom of the legs. This will not only give a shadow gap and the illusion that the bottom of the legs are just off the floor but will also protect the veneers from damage whenever the table is moved. We’re using M10 Stainless Steel hex bolts with captive nuts which should keep things the legs nicely secured. It’s nice to see the frame and legs together and to get a sense of its dimensions. This table is 2400mm when closed and will extend out to 3400mm. - - - - - - - - - - - #bladetable #custommade #diningtable #furnituredesign #design #craftmanship #extendingdiningtable #bespoke #table #tables #handmade #bespokefurniture #handmadeinengland #bronze #designermaker #modernfurniture #interiordesign #furniture #monkeypod #expandingtable #finefurniture #madeby68 #homedecor #cabinetmaker https://www.instagram.com/p/B-RJrRYjUM7/?igshid=164jum8gj2u4p

Lots going through the workshop right now. We are back on the Blade table commission. After a long wait, we’ve now had our second delivery of veneer from Costa Rica and are now ready to start the veneering. We will do the legs first. The substrate is black Valchromat which we’ve have CNC’d. The Monkey Pod veneer has been sawn for us at 2.5mm. We’ve jointed the leaves and pre-glued the edges to create sheets. We are using epoxy resin, these will go in the bag for at least 8 hours. - - - - - - - - - - #bladetable #custommade #diningtable #furnituredesign #design #craftmanship #extendingdiningtable #bespoke #table #tables #handmade #bespokefurniture #handmadeinengland #bronze #designermaker #modernfurniture #interiordesign #furniture #monkeypod #expandingtable #finefurniture #madeby68 #homedecor #cabinetmaking #finishcarpentry #contemporarydesign #handcrafted #finewoodworking #luxurydesign #bespokefurnituredesigner https://www.instagram.com/p/B9EPBygj01V/?igshid=u0u5cd469mjr

The final job is to glue the bronze inlays in place and to apply a couple of coats of clear lacquer. - - - - - - - - - - - #bladetable #custommade #diningtable #furnituredesign #design #craftmanship #extendingdiningtable #bespoke #table #tables #handmade #bespokefurniture #handmadeinengland #bronze #designermaker #modernfurniture #interiordesign #furniture #monkeypod #expandingtable #finefurniture #madeby68 #homedecor #cabinetmaking #finishcarpentry #contemporarydesign #handcrafted #finewoodworking #luxurydesign #bespokefurnituredesigner https://www.instagram.com/p/CBzw8sjDC9l/?igshid=jxl99ru6siq8

Lots of progress on the oak frame. All the joinery is done, it’s traditional mortise and tenon. The cross members have had an angle machined to precisely accept the the tapered legs. This is done using a specially made jig which holds the piece as it’s passed through the thicknesser. - - - - - - - - - - #bladetable #custommade #diningtable #furnituredesign #design #craftmanship #extendingdiningtable #bespoke #table #tables #handmade #bespokefurniture #handmadeinengland #bronze #designermaker #modernfurniture #interiordesign #furniture #monkeypod #expandingtable #finefurniture #madeby68 #homedecor #cabinetmaking #finishcarpentry #contemporarydesign #handcrafted #finewoodworking #luxurydesign #bespokefurnituredesigner https://www.instagram.com/p/B9tGNFRj9vt/?igshid=z75nrxj791k6

After a long delay the bronze inlays have finally arrived. They have had a patination applied and look amazing. They have been water jet cut to exact dimensions. The final process for us is to route a 12mm channel along the centre line of the table. The central sections will each have a 6mm piece attached to each edge. The Monkey Pod grain moves about a fair bit so to avoid tear out we’ve used a couple of different width solid carbide upcut bits to achieve a super clean cut. - - - - - - - - - - - #bladetable #custommade #diningtable #furnituredesign #design #craftmanship #extendingdiningtable #bespoke #table #tables #handmade #bespokefurniture #handmadeinengland #bronze #designermaker #modernfurniture #interiordesign #furniture #monkeypod #expandingtable #finefurniture #madeby68 #homedecor #cabinetmaking #finishcarpentry #contemporarydesign #handcrafted #finewoodworking #luxurydesign #bespokefurnituredesigner https://www.instagram.com/p/CBpcquGDFa3/?igshid=xzq21otmw9i3

Re-assembling the Blade Table. Really pleased with how the staining of the legs and frame has turned out. It provides such a great contrast to the colour and grain of the Monkey Pod veneered table tops. - - - - - - - - - - - #bladetable #custommade #diningtable #furnituredesign #design #craftmanship #extendingdiningtable #bespoke #table #tables #handmade #bespokefurniture #handmadeinengland #bronze #designermaker #modernfurniture #interiordesign #furniture #monkeypod #expandingtable #finefurniture #madeby68 #homedecor #cabinetmaking #finishcarpentry #contemporarydesign #handcrafted #finewoodworking #luxurydesign #bespokefurnituredesigner https://www.instagram.com/p/CAj_S6yjUXD/?igshid=1efkokyxhxe45

As each Blade Table is bespoke, we always make up a mock up of the extension element. It’s the trickiest part of the project and this allows us to test and check everything works smoothly. Just made using offcuts of MDF, the mockup is full size in terms of width and thickness and has the concealed hinges installed. We are always keen to try new hardware and did toy with using some newly available adjustable concealed hinges. Despite an initial good impression, they turned out to be not that well engineered and had unacceptable amounts of play. We reverted back to using SOSS hinges for this project. - - - - - - - - - - #bladetable #custommade #diningtable #furnituredesign #design #craftmanship #extendingdiningtable #bespoke #table #tables #handmade #bespokefurniture #handmadeinengland #bronze #designermaker #modernfurniture #interiordesign #furniture #monkeypod #expandingtable #finefurniture #madeby68 #homedecor #cabinetmaking #finishcarpentry #contemporarydesign #handcrafted #finewoodworking #luxurydesign #bespokefurnituredesigner https://www.instagram.com/p/B7X1zNSgMam/?igshid=1cg6iirian9up

Most of the making is now complete on the Blade Table. My makers mark is fitted, and now repairing one or two small cracks in the veneer. Can’t wait to get some oil on this wonderful Monkey Pod veneer, the grain is going to pop! - - - - - - - - - - - #bladetable #custommade #diningtable #furnituredesign #design #craftmanship #extendingdiningtable #bespoke #table #tables #handmade #bespokefurniture #handmadeinengland #bronze #designermaker #modernfurniture #interiordesign #furniture #monkeypod #expandingtable #finefurniture #madeby68 #homedecor #cabinetmaking #finishcarpentry #contemporarydesign #handcrafted #finewoodworking #luxurydesign #bespokefurnituredesigner https://www.instagram.com/p/CAFBOKYjNVV/?igshid=1ihfj1chmcm6j
