cool. cost effective project.
yesterday just bought some walnut 2x6 planks and its like 6x the price. oh well customer is the boss so we just listen..

Haha thanks. Gonna make a bench as well using the same wood.

Guess that’s the price between local and imported wood.

did you ask the shop what kind of woods they supply?

The only other hard wood planks they have is Meranti.

Other than that it’s plywood, finger jointed, etc.

ic. meranti should be cost effective also but not so weather resistant.

Yeah, would be ok for indoors.

The place you buy your walnut. Is there a MOQ? Looking to refurbish some old speakers.

yes of coz , price depends on volume for bulk purchases.

no worries, next time if we purchase for project will inform u, if u wanna tumpang buy extra one or 2 piece for example.
usually for walnut n white oak its in sawn timber form, so need to plane s4s/ smooth 4side into usable planks we can do that process for you to save the trouble.

That would great. Let me know.

Thanks!

Wow great work, mind to share the wood shop location?

Thanks!

Here’s the waze location: https://waze.com/ul/hw283gstv7

It’s located in Ampang.

That's pretty good pricing. I paid RM5.50 per feet for my pine wood (20mm x 145mm)

Bought 8.5” x 1.8” pine wood for my sliding barn door for RM18 / feet. Twice the price of my table.

Watch the weight of the barndoor. Pine might be light but when its joined to become a door, it's not that light.

Yeah it’s pretty heavy for 7’ x 3’.

The load the track can take is 175kgs. The total weight of my door should be approximately 50kgs.

I mounted the track with extra long screws anyway just to be safe.

Thanks a lot!

Completed. Waiting for my dining chairs to arrive this weekend.

What's the height of the table? I found with tables, actually have to designed to suit the chairs (Chairs height are standard, customised table height are not )

Cost of chairs are probably more expensive than the total cost of the table

The table height is at 28 inches. 2 inches shorter compared to the average height of 30.

Cost of 3 chairs is about RM460 lol. Will be placing a bench using the same wood on the other side.

Here’s some pics of my sliding barn door. Haven’t had the time to make the handles lol. Thinking of doing it with steel pipes.
