Today we had to design a round pedestal table. We want a round table with a 52'' diameter that has 2 center leaves that are 12'' each, so pretty big table! We want it to be very robust looking and strong, so were going to go with about a 6x6'' center column with 4'' thick legs and table top supports. I forgot to snap a picture of the design but i'll get it posted up tomorrow. Joel came up with an ingenious sliding dovetail top that will allow each half of the top to be pulled out 12'' to install a leaf or 2 when guest come over.
Final sanding has begun on this custom rocking chair, we do it in stages but as of right now it's about 10% sanded to a final polish so lot's more work to go.
Above we have a bar stool that were adapting from another design, Maloof inspired that's for sure! In Sams book there is a sketch of this bar stool just at random on the side of the page, i've never seen a picture of know if he ever made them but it's going to be a nice stool!
Below are the arms for the bar stool there's a little trick to get some curve to them that needs about every F clamp we own.
Thanks again for coming by to have a look at what our minds can design and our hands build, it's truly a joy working and learning every day.
Joel if you read this tonight, don't forget coffee tomorrow (-:
