Designs For L Shape Table with Steel Chasis and Wood Top
Hello guys. I wanted to share and ask your opinion about my design for the table I am planning to make. As you can read on the header and see in the pictures, It has a steel chasis. Square profiles are 40mmx40mm with 2mm thickness. I am planning to open holes with hand drill myself. The panel size I can find around me without effort (wood type doesnt matter. all are same size) is 1220mmx3500mm. After cutting the table tops out of it, remaining part is 420mmx2700mm which can be used something else later. To make production easier, there is 2 main kind of connection pieces I want to use. They both 2.5mm thickness. One of them is with single bend and 3 holes. Second one has 4 holes and does not have any bend. Beside them, there is 1 special piece with 3 holes and no bend. I assume connection pieces can be cut with laser easily. It is the bend ones makes me afraid that can cost much. I am also looking for a shop that can paint the profiles and connection pieces matte black. static powder coating or something like that. If I can a place that can do it with reasonable price, that would be perfect. For connection, I am planning to use M8 bolts and nuts. And for the table tops, I am planning to use M8 wood inserts. As you can see there is no welding. That is my primary point of start to plan this. I am planning to move in next two years and I want this table can be dismantled and assembled in my next place. And if required, the small table may not be installed at all since bigger table can be used alone. I also plan to make some sim gear mounted on table, with my big monitor can change position with monitor arm (hello ergotron =). I thought about insert nuts for it. I can drill holes anywhere I want and install some thread nuts. Then mount whatever I want. Most of the table will be reserved for my 3D printer, DIY materials (Storage for electronic components, tools etc), soldering station etc. but you get the idea I think. Reason I am posting this is I require your insight and experience. I have never build such a table before. Please indicate my flaws so I can fix it. Do you think 40x40x2 profiles are strong enough? does bolt and nut connections can keep table steady? If pictures are not enough to comment, you can find step file and 3D pdf files in the github link. And a bonus question, Can you suggest a way to add shelves on right side of the table without damaging the table top? submitted by /u/nethive [link] [comments]
