Winter 2022, I had an Co-Op in La Motte, Iowa and had my first apartment. I did not have a
dining table and just used a folding table. I started designing a real table to replace the folding table. This was
- the first project that I can up with a full design for ahead of time. I used Solidworks to design the table. Unfortunately
- I did not get the table completed during my Co-Op but had it prepared for my next apartment. A change that we had not
- planned on was an addition cut into the beams going between the legs. This was due to needing more space between the legs

of someone in a chair and the horizontal beams. I then went on to design matching
- benches to go along with the table initially with the design in Autodesk. For both projects we used alder which made caused some
- challenges with alder tending to not be very straight wood. Additionally it has a lot of knots in the wood we filled with epoxy.

The table and benches were also designed to be taken apart to make it easier for moving with how much apartment changing I deal
- with while in college. This table and benches are very solid and have preformed great and turned out beatify.
