Popular Post steven newman Posted March 14 Author Popular Post Report Posted March 14 Cleaned the old table off... Yanked it up out of there.. Pallet wood... New table was placed in that corner... In the process of hauling this table upstairs..I FORGOT TO BRING THE TRIPOD ALONG.. Grandpadave52, lew, Larry Buskirk and 4 others 5 2 Quote
Popular Post 4DThinker Posted March 14 Popular Post Report Posted March 14 Seems like shame to hide such a nice table in a corner where most will only notice the top. Beautiful work begs a full display spot. Larry Buskirk, steven newman, lew and 3 others 6 Quote
Popular Post steven newman Posted March 15 Author Popular Post Report Posted March 15 Plan always was to place the new table back in that corner, as the old one was falling apart, and was too small.. IF I am going to all the trouble to build a new Table, regardless where it will be sitting, I intend to put the best work I can in that Project...because...someday, that table might be out in the open, getting showed off... Merely needed a Project to use up that Maple stash...next Project, I am back to using Ash.. This Project is done..still have time for one more, this month? Stay tuned... Grandpadave52, Fred W.
