Maybe a silly question......this gonna fit from where you’re making it, to it’s final home?

I'll bet it fits just fine. That cardboard template should almost guarantee it

No problems Artie, like the title says... it is a small table

 

I didn't get to post earlier, just about to when a crew showed up to patch and recoat the driveway.  One of those outside projects that were "coming up".

I did get the balance of the inserts cut out and sanded to final dimensions yesterday.  Cleaned up the shop, had to blow it out twice!  And then color applied.

 

 

I plan to begin poly today.  Unfortunately, it is very cloudy and 40's-50's and damp today and tomorrow.

No problem, the wife is out of town working this week.  I already have it all set up in the living room!  (No, this is not the living room...)

 

that is outstanding work Cal...

Nicely done, Cal. It's a fine piece of craftsmanship.

May get our's patched and re-coated tomorrow too...more snow in the forecast

 

BTW, most excellent work on the table. The flush fit drawer is perfect on this piece...looking forward to the full reveal of the top.

Artie, some of us can't understand Uzbekian. Luckily, I have Google Translate.

Rumor on the early forecast model is 12"-16"...guess I better get the snowblower ready.

Awesome looking table.

If I remember my Spanish well enough, this is 3 good.  

 Looks great Cal.

The table is beautiful! I like the color!

 

Nice license plate collection, too!

I like it Cal.  Did you use a stain or dye it?

Thanks Dan, I used Transfast dye.  A mix of 50% dark red mahogany and 50% dark mission brown.

That was topped with 2 coats of clear gloss poly mixed 3:1 with mineral spirits, and a final coat of clear satin poly, also 3:1.

I also applied a sealer to the edges of the "marble" triangles yesterday.

Plans call for assembly and setting in place this morning after I do the dishes...

 

Hmmm, I thought I made that post to Dan yesterday with this pic...

Oh well, an update will follow...

You too huh? Well somebody's got to do them...

Sounds nice...pic doesn't display though.

As mentioned "yesterday", I assembled and set in place.  No problems Artie, but I must admit - everytime I carried the cardboard template in it was always vertical, I never carried it to check the fit through the door!

Speaking for myself, I am quite happy with the results.  I am still struggling to find a good finishing schedule that makes me happy.  I will just have to take on another project to further test my finishing skills

Wifey gets home this evening.  That will be the final say, yea or nay.

Herewith, pics:

 

 

 

And the vanity and mirror projects from two years ago with matching tub walls.  I have a couple pieces of the marble from the vanity, but they are much thicker than the tub surround.  Haven't come up with a project for those, yet.
