This has been a very informative series, Gary. I can’t ever see myself making this style of table, but the methods that you used are very interesting. Hopefully they’re filed away in the brain bank and can be retreived at a later date. Thanks for all of the post on this.

Your ingenuity and resourcefulness never ceases to surprise me. Many of us, I know I would fit in that category, would have settled on a removal technique at the start of the process and doggedly stuck with it rather than stopping midstream to evaluate things and try to come up with a more effective process. And building a jig in the middle of things!!! That interruption only slows you down- right?

Nice job, Gary. Thanks for the post.

I have been waiting for each episode to be posted since you announced the project. Several good ideas to hog out the waste but the final method I think is the best. Can’t wait to see the base I’m sure you won’t disappoint.

Hi Gary,

Very good progress!

I’ve gotta say… when I saw that circular saw cutting slits, my first thought was “Oh No!”... I was happy to see how you modified your method.

Your final solution is very similar to a fixture I made called Router Skiis. For the average project, it works pretty well.

Your Top really turned out GREAT! Thank you for the progress reports!

Now, for the part that holds it up! :)

Hi Gary;

I’ve been watching with interest in how you did the top. As usual, your work is Masterful.

Hollowing out the center is a scary process, huh?

A suggestion if you don’t mind. If you are going for an 18th century look, the outside or “crust” looks a little on the bulky side.

That has a lot to do with our decision to carve the edges, when we were building one:
