Instruction

Step1: Designing the Table

Measure the size of your mirror.  Create a circle that size in XCS for a template and set it to ignore.

Create 2 more circles that are slightly larger and slightly smaller than your circle for the face frame of the table.

Make 2 copies of the larger circle and separate them.  On the first circle add another inner circle that is smaller than the first circle but still larger than the mirror.

On the second copy add 4 rectangles for inserting the legs.  These will be roughly 3mm in one dimension (my wood is 2.7mm).  The other dimension will depend on the width you want your table legs to be.

Add 4 rectangles for the legs.  The width should match the same dimension you just created in the circle.

You can use a mirror here for the table OR you can add a wood circle in the mirror size for a stained table.

If you engrave the mirror use an acrylic paint or a spray paint to add color to the back.  I used spray paint for the yellow on my table.

Step3: Cut and Stain or Paint

Cut out the wood parts using the default basswood settings.

Stain all pieces before assembly for a more even appearance.  

An alternate option would be to paint a table top and stain the rest of the table for a unique appearance.

Let all parts dry.

Test fit all pieces before gluing.

Glue the outer wood trim piece to the back of the top and make sure it's centered.

Glue the mirror down to the top, making sure the glue does not get onto the appearance face of the top.

Glue the bottom of the table on.

Add the legs into the slots of the table.

Let all glue dry and then flip over.  Add to your dollhouse for hours of play.
