More pics of table progress

The frame is done for the most part save a few tweaks here and there. I am not happy with the overall stability, so I may have to make some adjustments. She could do with some cross bracing, but it will be tricky not to upset the form in adding them. I guess making a cantilevered, three-legged, table with one connection point is harder than it looks!

 The wood top is also posing a problem because the wood has significant rot and I have to remove about half of it before I can use it. Matt and I may have gotten to it too late. This will be tricky one. I'll check back on that. No problem though, I'm not worried. It will be very sweet when its done, I am sure of it. Ahh, the power of positive thinking or some such bullshit.

All the legs before bending

looks like a bird of prey




Back leg before bending
The aftermath of sanding back my drift for the 10th time. The belt sander is a cruel mistress.


Matt shows me how its done

One oak table top coming right up

Good thing I dressed accordingly.

Sorry sir, delivery isn't available in your area. You'll have to ride home 10 miles in the wind.

Just before I took off!
