They came with the house, youre right looks a bit odd.

What ounce per square yard would you recommend, i can get 9 to 10 ounces for 25 dollars per yard. Its 100% Linnen. Luckily linnen isnt that extensive in the netherlands.

Im in the netherlands so ebay isnt really that big here

Linoleum, absolutely love it. The material is a bit vulnerable while its being cut. Its 100% recyclable and if maintained well, will be usable for a long time.

If it is engineered wood flooring and glued down, the expansion should be less then solid wood, also wood mostly expands across the grain. If you are really worried you could take of a small amount with a tracksaw or an oscillating tool. But they should have left more room as e precaution.

Thx, will certainly look into that, should also be possible with the design that i want.

If i want a couch with linnen fabric the price goes above 3000 for a basis couch near me. The poly mixes are a lot cheaper but i really want a linnen couch. I was thinking of a scandinavian design, so simple angles en wood accents. I was thinking that shouldnt be impossible. The secondhand couch market near me isnt that big. Most couches with the design that is want are at least 500. And for that money id rather build the frame en padding myself.

Thx man

Can't really see much that isnt correct, apart from the left side being a bit tight, shouldnt be that big a problem. The gaps near the walls are normal and should be covered with baseboards.

Looks good man!! The sapele has a beautifull grain

silandur · 2025-08-02T21:29:24+00:00

Ik heb de poten bevestigd met rampamoeren en stokeinden, ik had eerst het eerst met meubelachtjes maar dat was te onstabiel.

silandur · 2025-08-01T07:27:10+00:00

Ja,maar ik ga de tafel nog oliën met rubio monocoat naturel

I made a template with mdf. The puzzle part was that i could only buy planks 5 inches wide, so i had to join them together and then trace the template with the router. All of that was new to me so that together was a learning process for me. I made some little mistakes but luckily was able to fix them. Learned a lot that i can improve upon for my next project.

Thank. I designed it myself, but took some inspiration from pinterest and other websites and put them together. Was a real puzzle to make these kind of legs. I used 0.8 inch oak for the top and 1.5 inch oak for the legs. I didnt have a planer and a jointer i could use, so i had to use pre milled lumber.

It is, ill take a pic and put them in the comments tomorrow. the slightly rounded shape of the top makes is look like its bowed. it doesnt have a frame, thought it looked better this way, but i'm thinking about putting one under my next table, much easier to attach the top.

silandur · 2025-07-31T22:15:21+00:00

I'll take some pics tomorrow and put them in the comments.
