Slab Tables

Jeff · October 01, 2003, 04:35:13 PM

Remember that auction I talked about in a thread called roads to the forum? Well, this is a pile of large, air dried, (well, they were dry), white pine cookies that corley5 bid on for me. I said buy them if you can get them cheap.

He bought the whole pallet load for 5 bucks! I just took this picture, wonderful Michigan weather eh?

I am looking forward to making a few tables.

I made alot of them tables, put 50 grit paper on the drum sander and instance table, all I had to do was put legs on. Have'nt used the old girl for 2 yrs now. :-[

Those look great, Jeff! In fact, they almost look like a sculpture just stacked up there.

All I got to sand them is a belt sander and elbow grease. :-/

That's how we do it ;) ;) ;) :D :D :D

Jeff · October 01, 2003, 06:23:42 PM

yea, but I got it easier. You aint got all that white lubricant to use like we got here.

Fla._Deadheader · October 01, 2003, 06:54:47 PM

That's OK. We will fight it with dry wood :

;D

Fla._Deadheader · October 01, 2003, 08:09:46 PM

Jeff · October 01, 2003, 08:14:13 PM

You cant play. :D

Actually, I cant compete with bizzy either when it comes to materials. Now, if we all started with equal materials, I think I could KICK YER BUTTS. ;D ;)

Jeff broke the rules allready, one of the tables, is a bench. 8)

Fla._Deadheader · October 02, 2003, 10:23:44 AM

Keen eye, Staples. That's probably why he wouldn't let me play 8) :D :D :D :D

Stephen_Wiley · October 02, 2003, 10:54:40 AM

Show us the pics, Deadheader - your in the game now ! 8)

Jeff · October 02, 2003, 01:37:50 PM

Wrongo there Mr Staples, it was a bench till we set it in front of the sofa. That makes it a table.

Bizzie, thats red maple. What we refer to as soft maple. It was just an everyday slab I brought home cause it was about the right thickness. :D We chip thousands like it every week.

Texas Ranger · October 02, 2003, 04:09:42 PM

Hmm, don't make me go back where you showed this bench before, and called it a bench, for your 'somebody' wedding party. Or graduation. You can call it a table if you like, but WE KNOW BETTER! ;D ;D ;D 8) 8) 8)
