The picnic table project: This brief explained that the table needed to be dissembled easily to be stored during the winter months and have enough seating for at least ten people. The disassembly is achieved by sliding the table top off and then by simply removing the pins from the legs the table is then dissembled and ready for storage. The table is made from red cedar.
This was my first major project and it was apart of my construction studies state exam (Leaving Cert.). I used lengths of seasoned oak and steamed each one individually to create a balance sun lounging chair. After steaming the wood was placed in a form for three days to let dry and stiffen. Once each length was curved, the lengths were fixed together using spines and finished with wax.

One of my passionate hobbies is woodworking. I have spent the last couple of years collecting tools and developing new skills. I have had wonderful summers working in American summer camps teaching and running the woodshop.
