Transforming Table

By Emily Cheng in ME 203 Spring 2015

Materials

Steel tubing, steel rod, wood (walnut ply, walnut, cherry, bloodwood, maple), glass, miscellaneous hardware, acrylic, table lifts

Processes

TIG welding, turning, tapping, and woodworking

Design Goals

To create an aesthetically pleasing table that serves as both a coffee table and a space-efficient work space.

Challenges

Manufacturing everything precisely so it fit together well! This large project was difficult to carry, clamp, and assemble. Learning that the solution for tube-bending kinks is weld beads and grinding.
