Thread: Commission ....

What I did like .... a little mistake that showed how stable the Laguna is. I stood leg 2 on the tailstock outrigger to check it out and then proceeded to syart leg 3 withouy putting 2 somewhere safe



As you can see it remained standing. Good thing that as client provided the timber and there is no spare



Three down amd the last one to finish tonight

With one held on the out riggers it aerves an easy refference for the next

Dave, officially, it is a "Comparator"

Not sure about a master ... embarrassingly the first one took me about 2 hours. I had a bad picture and no measurements to go from.

The last one was a mkre respectable 20 minutes

Advice on longer legs

short leg on long leg. Will increase corbal end to where pic is taken.



Thinking flip on tripple bead then at corbal introduce foot. Foot maybe slightly elongated.

Thoughts?

Now the big legs. Haf to come up with something chunky based on the coffee table legs but this time for a dining table. Most of this mess is from the first 4. Just started roughing down the first of the dining legs



Square to round in progress





Mark out the detaile



Starting to take shape



And a comparison big to small



Tomorrow after work I hope to get the last three done.

If you have time tomorrow can you show us going from round to square please.

I can't help but feel that the smaller legs are a bit on the heavy side for their length, one could assume the coffee cups may be 20 litre units, or possibly the table has a set of Encyclopedia Britanica and all yearly additional editions on top. Whichever is the reason, it certainly will be able to hold kids doing their thing when big people aren't around.
