Problem: Article: There are a lot of different types of tables in the world, so take some time to consider you want. Go online and look up images of tables, noting the style of each one. Also, get ideas from furniture catalogues and woodworking magazines. Base your choice on your needs, such as what you want to use the table for and how much space you have available for it. For instance, you may desire a large, rustic kitchen table. You might also make a short coffee table or an elegant bedroom end table. Use a pencil and a ruler to create your ideal table. Don't worry about the dimensions at first. Instead, think about how you want the finished table to look. Select what features you want, then settle on a size. Once you have a rough design, pencil in the dimensions. Keep in mind that lumber sizes listed at stores are 12in (1.3cm) smaller than the actual lumber, so add an extra 12in (1.3cm) to all of your estimates. Your dimensions will vary depending on the kind of table you construct. A dining table has different dimensions than a bedside table. Break your table down into its basic components. The simplest table has a tabletop and legs connected by apron pieces. If you plan on adding extra features to your table, you will need to get lumber for those sections as well. For example, try making a table with 3 2in 12in (5.1cm 30.5cm) tabletop boards cut 61in (150cm) long, 4 4in 4in (10cm 10cm) legs cut 2812in (72cm) long, 2 2in 4in (5.1cm 10.2cm) apron boards cut 1834in (48cm) long, and 2 2in 12in (5.1cm 30.5cm) more apron boards cut 49in (120cm) long. Get extra lumber for any additional features you add to your table. For instance, you can add rails for extra stability or add boards to extend the tabletop. Pine isn't the toughest wood, but it is a beginner-friendly choice. You can still use it to create tables that last decades. Some common hardwoods, including maple and cherry, are also suitable choices for sturdy tables. Look for other inexpensive types of wood. Construction-grade douglas fir can be used to make tables. Woods like poplar make for good furniture but are tougher to stain properly. For outdoor projects, choose redwood, cypress, or a treated wood like pressure-treated pine. Once you know what you need, visit a home improvement store to purchase it. Most stores will cut the wood for you, so ask them to take care of it. Save yourself some work so you can begin constructing the table right away. You can cut the wood yourself if you have a workbench, some clamps, and a circular saw or handsaw. Always wear polycarbonate safety glasses and a respirator mask when operating a saw.
Summary: View pictures of tables to figure out what kind of table to make. Sketch out a rough design of your table on paper. Estimate how much wood you will need. Select an inexpensive but sturdy wood such as pine for a lasting table. Purchase the wood and and have it cut.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Reflux esophagitis occurs when the stomach acid refluxes through the lower esophageal sphincter and into the esophagus. GERD is a condition in which this backflow is a chronic problem. One complication of GERD is tissue damage to the esophagus leading to esophagitis. Your risk for esophagitis can increase because of pre-existing medical conditions. For example, surgery or radiation to the chest will weaken the lower esophageal sphincter and increase your risk of experiencing esophagitis. Chronic vomiting weakens the sphincter from pressure in the stomach and thus increases the risk of esophagitis. People with a weakened immune system from medications or an immune-mediated illness such as HIV can develop infections that lead to esophagitis. These infections include those due to fungi or viruses such as herpes or cytomegalovirus. Infectious esophagitis can be the result of a bacterial, viral or fungal infection. Although relatively rare, this type of esophagitis will occur more often in people with poor immune function, such as people suffering from HIV, leukemia, chemotherapy treatments for cancer, diabetes or organ transplant. Symptoms associated with infectious esophagitis can include: Fever and chills associated with the infection. Oral thrush if the infectious agent is candida albicans If the infection is herpes or cytomegalovirus, you may experience sores in your mouth or in the back of your throat, making swallowing food or saliva even more uncomfortable. You may be having an allergic reaction that can cause esophagitis. Eosinophilic esophagitis can occur in response to an allergic reaction or from acid-reflux or both. Eosinophils are white blood cells that play a role in allergic reactions in the body. Sometimes the allergy is to foods, such as milk, eggs, wheat, soy or peanuts. At other times, people can have non-food reactions to pollen or dander, which causes esophagitis.
Summary:
Determine if you have chronic gastroesophageal reflux disease. Talk to your doctor about your health conditions. Get evaluated for infections. Get tested for allergies.
