Dining Table - re-visited

Derek,  I really enjoy and like your build posts.  The design considerations discussed in this and the chair posts really tie them together. Thank you for posting your projects.

Funny how people always take my opinions as arguments.

Yes, funny about that.

Regards from Perth

Thanks Don. 

I must admit that I sighed with relief when the top went on the base, and it looked right to my eye. I could only do that at the end as the top is so heavy and large that it was impossible to life on my own. I had Lynndy help turn it over on the bench ... and she dropped it! It went sideways and bounced off the base and landed on the edge of one corner. I held my breath, absolutely sure that it was destroyed, only to find that the corner was slightly crushed and there were some dents along one edge. Lynn was in shock, as one could imagine. I've seen worse, and said it was fixable. Then proceeded to steam out the wood fibres with warm water and an electric iron. All good, and the relief on Lynndy's face was a sight. I really missed an opportunity then-and-there to guilt her into buying a new puppy, but that only occurred to me later. By then she had reclaimed her composure. Rats!
