Hi all.
I have a 30" x 5’ slab that I’m needing to flatten to make into a coffee table. I have my woodshop authorization but have not been able to make it to a shopbot class yet.
The slab is really close to flat I think 1/8" or so on each side should do it.
I Have a 3" flattening bit that should make quick work of it.
I would be happy to pay someone for their help.
Thanks in advance!
Luke
What kind of wood is it?
Walnut and epoxy.
Good thing I asked. Whoever helped will need to have completed the hazardous materials authorization.
Whoops, My bad! I don’t know if it matters but I do have my hazardous materials authorization. Thanks for the heads up.
I may be able to help. Just have a lot going on right now, as I’m sure many people do. Is the slab oversized? Or do you have a plan for clamping it?
No worries, tis the season lol. For holding it down I would be able to screw or clamp it. It is 2" thick and heavy so maybe could get away with some good double sided tape? (I have a roll) Im available after 5 weekdays or any time weekends just let me know if you are able to find time. I would be happy to throw $50 to anyone for thier help.
I don’t think we have one scheduled at present.
I have been in touch with someone whe is hoping to help and discussing strategies to tackle it. If that’s not able to happen, I’d be glad to give a hand. Also, I’ll ask Doug to schedule a class as soon as he is available, but I imagine it will probably be in January at some point.
