Joshua Haydon, Hallway Table (Student Awards 2019)

My Hallway Table was created throughout 2019 for my Industrial Technology Timber HSC Major project. The hallway table is made from silky oak and is 800mm in height and 1100mm long. The project was extremely challenging and was created using a variety of processes, skills and techniques. Each leg is 18mm thick made up of 3 x 6mm pieces of silky oak that were individually bent using a steam chamber and a jig and were then laminated together to form the legs. The project contains two functional drawers made using dovetail joints which have been created to hold keys and other small objects. The main idea of this project was inspired by wanting to be challenged. Bending wood is an extremely difficult process and I have successfully completed as I wanted. The legs gradually reduce in thickness towards the bottom this was done using a plane and a belt sander and was completed with absolute precision resulting in perfect legs that all are the exact same width and join together at the perfect point. To create the legs, I was required to make four different jigs that showcased the exact curves required so my legs could be bent over the jigs. Year 12, St Dominics College. Teacher: Tim Easterbrook
