I like it. It's a beauty. The benches go well with it. Nice job all around.

Tell her not to sit on the end of the table. Might be a tipping hazard.

And in the back ground I see she installed a burglar entry door. Let's hope the dog is on duty.

There'll be many good memories connected to "Uncle Jerry's Table".

Nice!

Question

Bill Tindall, E.Tn.

Tops that big and thick are not easy to assemble. Will you summarize what you did.

I do one board of the assembly at a time to increase the odds that I can get the joint level to where it will require less sanding/scraping/planing. What did you do?

The sum of it looks as attractive as a Gallery display (though you might have cleared the top more for the picture). Will two matching chairs be in the works?

Nice looking table and benches.

Re: Question

JL

As the boards were quite long (8' + during assembly), I did it one joint at a time.

I planed the boards to thickness (more or less at the same time). I jointed the boards. I glued them up in pairs using clamping cauls. I then glued another board to the pairs and finally the two sets of three boards together.
