Thursday August 28th

Here's Thursday's  progress.  Pedestal mounted temporarily and waiting for laminate to dry so I can make the feet.  I also router the edge trim on the top.  The skirt is not attached and waiting for pocket screw holes.

That is looking great.

Looks like this will be a VERY well received table.

Yepers, looking pretty danged good, that oct base doesn't look too bad after all Ron, I take back everything I said!

I'll tell you what guys.  The church got a bargain because I really underbid the job but hey, it is only money.

 

Right on man, only money indeed. The build is what is important, and the cause. You'll be rewarded I am sure Ron, if not already in some way or fashion, I know we are already benefiting from this project here on TPW.

Looking great there Ron!

Really nice work Ron. Looks great.

You are good! 

That's a sweet piece of work.

Today isn't "Humpday" but it was "Footday".  I built the feet to the table today and parked the whole thing temporarily on the floor to get a picture.  With any luck I'll be ready to start applying finish in a day or so.  We lost the compressor to our home A/C so the shop is the best place to be.

 

Wow!!! Those feet are sweet!

How did ya get the thickness, did you glue up two pieces of the oak benches?

Lookin' good. Great foots. How ya gonna attach them?

You nailed it John.  I planed the seat backs to get the ugly green finish off them and glued four of them together into a  2 3/4" wide piece.   I made a template to trace the feet oan viola, four feet.  I used the same router bit on the feet as I used on the table top edge but set it deeper.  Gene, I'm going to use two hanger bolts in each one and bolt them to the pedestal.  I made a jig and marked and drilled all of the holes.

Aww, gee. Thought you might use sliding dovetails.
