    Default Small Table with Ball and Claw Feet WIP

    Hi all, havent posted any pics up in a while thought i'd throw up some pics of a small table I am making.

    Initially it was going to be a footstool but decided to make a top for it. Timber is Melunak I had left over from another project.

    First pic was taken after the initial glue up of the sides, second pic is after first round of linseed oil that last picture is how it looks today waiting for the top.

    Boy the workshop needs a good clean up lol excuse the mess. Thanks for looking

    Very nice joez,
    Don't you love how a job evolves started as a stool will end as a table, if the workshop doesn't need a clean you haven't been doing any work.
    Regards Rod.

    My worse failing is I start making something and the I realize it would be useful if I had this tool so if I can I start making it. Then while making the tool I realize a certain jig might be handy so I diverge onto that. . . . . before I know it I have forgotten what I was doing and the original job gets lost . . . . .

    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    Thanks everyone :D.

    Finish was applied on the weeked... twice..... left the top outside and the sun turned it into swiss cheese.

    Now its a matter of letting it harden and i'll apply some wax and rub down the finish a touch to reduce the glosss level.

    Attached are some pics I took lastnight a little dark but you get the idea.

    thanks for looking

    Beautiful. Well done.

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."
