Pullstart 59,734 #103 Posted August 12, 2019 Final inspection day! He’ll be here in an hour and hasn’t yet seen it in person! We did a design change on the legs, to keep it as close to the ground as possible. I’ll cut some 1/8” plate to place under the set screws, to push against the carpet floor. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 59,734 #105 Posted August 12, 2019 The set screws are 1/2” long and should allow for an 1/8” to 1/4” adjustment and still support the assembly... I hope! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 59,734 #107 Posted August 12, 2019 Within a week or two, I’ll have the wood top married to this. I still haven’t seen the wood... and I’m so excited! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lets see, 700 pounds +/- of steel. Probably that much wood weight added to that! How are you planning to move it into the meeting room it will be used in? Levitation? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Done that a few times myself and have a few people I call to help with it sometimes too. Been an interesting project to watch, can't wait to see it with the top on it. I really enjoy seeing different things like this being made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,734 #111 Posted August 14, 2019 Sneak peak of the slab! This was my first glimpse of the rest of the story! I built some quick straps to help prevent cupping and separating on the ends of the seam and used the threaded inserts to hold one end down for now. 4 1 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 8,611 #112 Posted August 15, 2019 Whow, buddy what a cool lookin. A big advantage is, a theft protection is maybe not needed, because of weight.. 😂👍 How you like to protect the Surface ? Using Oil, Wax or Clearcoat? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,734 #113 Posted August 15, 2019 They are using a dark oil. I should have taken a picture of the cabinetry because it was all milled out of the same tree! I will once it’s complete! 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 59,734 #114 Posted August 31, 2019 I received these pictures from the customer last night. The table top needs to be drilled now for inserts then we can screw the two together. There will be ivory in the chairs and all the cabinetry handles are deer antler. All the woodwork is from the same tree, remember! 4 6 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
