March 8, 20215 yr Popular Post comment_260033 Those look great Fred. I think the slight differences only adds character to the table. Some person down the road with a sharp eye will know this was handcrafted and not mass produced. Report
March 9, 20215 yr Popular Post comment_260086 Close enough for contractor work. LOL Those are good, Fred. Be proud and thankful that it is over. Report
March 9, 20215 yr Popular Post comment_260094 Fred, I’m not one that blows smoke up peoples backsides, those are good. From the pictures I’d say they were machine made, they look pretty identical to me. You got some experience, and hopefully had some fun. Report

March 10, 20215 yr comment_260183 I will add that Dan is right , they are so close that once assembled no one will know except you. Stand them on the floor at about the measurements in the table and look to prove the axim. Now if that does not suit there is enough to reduce the bulge in that third leg just remount and use a skew to reduce that area. Report

I'm giving that some thought. My hesitancy is that typically when I try something like that I make it worse. Edited March 10, 20215 yr by Fred W. Hargis Jr Report
March 10, 20215 yr comment_260208 Fred, have you decided on a style or shape of a William and Mary table? Report
March 10, 20215 yr Author Popular Post comment_260220 Indeed I have, it's a published plan in PWW. Here's a pic of it that was on pinterest (?), whatever that is. My feet are not going to be the big round type, they are slender with a bead...mostly because I didn't have any 3x3 stock for the round jobs. May not have had the talent to turn them, either. For the record, this is unlike anything in our house...not sure what Marie will think when she sees it. Edited March 10, 20215 yr by Fred W. Hargis Jr Report
March 10, 20215 yr Popular Post comment_260242 It looks like a mix of early American and French provincial design. You could change the look dramatically by changing the shape of the top and lower cross member. Can’t wait to see this one progress ! Paul Report

Mimi hated it. Ended up going to some friends. Report
