drzaius 2472 Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 So, if you're an older member, what does that make me But it's a very nice table. The only (unsolicited) critique I have is that it looks kinda top heavy. How stable is it? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wtnhighlander 7223 Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Sweet! Interesting twist on the base design. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The legs spread out so that the top only really overhangs the footprint by about 1.5” on each side. No twist or wobble. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichardA 4862 Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Damn, if drzaius is ancient, then me and several others must be fossilized. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Coop 7078 Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 I would imagine with the diagonal cross pieces that it very stable! Well done and like the design and the tight dt’s! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chip Sawdust 797 Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 I like the waterfall of grain that goes from the top to the sides. And nice dovetails 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I actually considered making it even crazier by flipping it, but decided the proportions were a bit off. I may use the idea in a later piece, though. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark J 2054 Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 A circular carcass on top of that base might look very modern. Be a lot harder to do, though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mark J 2054 Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 I was thinking more of bent wood like a drum table, but I like your idea better. I could see dove tail finger joints done on an angle to create a polygon. Then he could plane the whole thing down to round. It would really look like something. I don't know @Denette you'd better get started on this project before we complicate the design any further . Now see what you've been missing . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The closest I've done is some power carved buttprint barstools. I actually don't have a lathe (or room for one). I like my angular forms, haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He keeps me working long hours, and I just haven’t had time! I remember the days when our house floors were covered with such acrudiments. Thats when I decided it was a good idea to wear slippers instead of bare feet, Kids are grown and stepping on toys of our grand kids and I am back to bare feet.

But you should do it with a circular carcass and dovetail finger joints . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
