Why would you want to do that to a gorgeous Oak table...

Try contacting a second hand furniture store in your area that refurbishes stuff... maybe they will either do it, or will have a suitable table and be prepared to do a swap with you.

It will sit in storage forever if not.

I thought there might be someone here who does it as a hobby.

Flogging these unless I can find a use for them. Oak as well.

Yeah, see if you can find a decent second hand furniture store and discuss with them... they will at least do a good job of modifying the table for you...

I wouldn't trust anyone who do it as a hobby to touch that table.... you would want it done properly..

Check the DIY thread...

Could be done easy peasy looking at the way the table is constructed.

I have done a faire amount of woodwork, and what you require is not really feasible.

I would say its easily done, but I personally wouldn't do it to someone elses furniture... because there is a chance it would not come out perfect and that could be problematic.

Its one of the reasons I'm suggesting the second hand furniture shop idea, they may have something that they would do a straight swap with, then there is no modification needed..

@johnjm where abouts are you based?

Lol yes it is. You can just cut a section out and use the same legs.

Oak you say? how many cash vans are you willing to rob?

It is POA. But look at the African Blackwood.

If you say so.

It wont be as easy as you guys think but it is possible.

Erm, I beg to differ, totally feasible.
Find a decent Furniture restorer in your area - its a job I could easily have done but alas all my tools donated to affirmative shopping plus I'm lazy these days.

I could do it myself if I had the equipment, it's construction makes it pretty easy...

Get back in the game for me...

In Pretoria, anywhere in gauteng is cool.

I would suggest getting hold of Boer Schoeman (owner of Armentun Carpentry Services) in Lyttelton. He really knows his way around making furniture.
Look on facebook for Boer Scoeman and Armentum Carpentry, or call 012 666 8555
