 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. I needed to expand my table area to play RPGs, so decided to make a separate table-top.

-I started with a 120x240cm havuvaneri, which can be obtained from the nearby k-rauta (thanks to Arno for helping with the transport). I've made a mistake of buying a lower quality one, so the surface had some defects. Don't make this mistake, especially if you need a good surface - it takes more work and money to fix the defects. +The production steps were are follows (thanks to Otto for help and instruction):

-Overall I got a functional table-top and haven't lost any fingers, which is a lot the first woodworking project!+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.
