Big Table for the Crafty Ladies

[Lud]

Been awful busy and not gotten to visit the Forum like I will in 38 weeks when I get to retire... 8)

But I'm wrapping up this project and thought I should share.  Cut the ash on my little mill over a year ago and the challenge was to build a table that could straddle a bed I'd built years ago that has some good storage so it sits in the middle of a "studio" I've built us since last July.

So ,  my wife and the other members of her weaving guild do felting ,  sewing , etc and the melamine top gives them a nice smooth surface.  Not a nail or screw in it 'cept to hold the wheels on it.  Yeah ,it rolls off the bed if they need more space to lay the stuff.

I 'm a bit proud of the way it uses the same footprint as the bed.  Seems efficient.

Anyway,  here you go.....

Thanks for the kind words about the table.

I didn't build the guitars. I'm a Ludwig,  not a luthier. I bought 'em at auctions over the years.  Catch the eye,  don't they..hanging like that?

I play two of them when in the mood.  Music isn't really my talent but a few blues out on the porch in the summertime strikes a chord .  I don't inflict it on others usually.

It's nice to have something to pick on the porch other than your nose! :D :D :D

The table is awesome!  8)

Sure beats crawling around on the floor trying to sew on a quilt.

I love that joinery you used.  The mark of fine craftsmanship.  I also like the way you created your own design to fulfill a unique function.  I would be a bit proud too ;).
