My wife was working off a tiny table which in essence is her multi-purpose work-bench. Her chair sits at a diagonal to a fire-place hearth which leaves a gap for the table of a osoceles trapezoid. The table must have light.. room for a box of tissues.. letters for bills to be paid and mailed.. a portable phone.. TV changers.. crochet needles and of course a cup of coffee. Doesn't leave much space.
Her table runneth over to say the least as evidenced in the first picture of the one that is being replaced. A faulty move and the tissue box and letters end up on the floor which I have seen happen many times. So... how to use the limited space to gain a few more square inches in an attempt to serve all her needs in such a limited and odd shaped area?
QSWO... quad-linear legs with QS fleck on all four sides.. ebony pins in bottom shelves to pin non through tenons. The bottom shelves and legs are made of left overs that I culled in other projects. The top is primo I selected as when the bottom shelves are full of pattern books on the bottom and scans of yarn in the middle little will be seen of the bottom. I kept the base retangular but did an osoceles trapezoid on the top to gain a few square inches.
A plain straight-forward design as I wanted to keep it simple as the majority will be covered as it see's heavy use. I made a few do-dads for the TV changers and letters to avoid the many spills that have happened. There is a drop hole to make sure the tissue box doesn't slide off again. Not a difficult or fancy build but.. one that was well needed. Very well needed IMO.....
