I needed to expand my table area to play RPGs, so decided to make a separate table-top. It goes on top of my coffee table and two stools, which conveniently are about the same height.
The production steps were are follows (thanks to Otto for help and instruction):
starting point: 120x240cm havuvaneri (thanks to Arno for helping with the transport)
Cutting off excess length (from 240 down to 180cm)
Using the CNC machine to make an indentation in the board, matching the coffee table, to make the board more secure
Rounding the corners
Adding a frame to make the vaneri stiffer (thanks to Teemu for advice on that)
Polishing and filling the holes in the surface
Removing excess filler and polishing once more
Covering with varnish
What I've learnt:
It's better to buy a qood quality vaneri if you want to have a nice surface. Fixing defects takes a lot of time and extra money (I def. didn't fix every defect in mine)
When Filling in holes and indentations add excess material, and remove it once it dries
The wood dust - glue mix has weird yellow-green color after drying. It looks a bit better in thicker layers. But it's free!
Setting and removing such a big table top w/o scratching the furniture underneath is difficult for one person. Maybe adding some handles would be good enough.
Overall I got a functional table-top and haven't lost any fingers, which is a lot the first woodworking project
