Studio Cocktail Table

**Claw Hama** · 14th February 2011, 10:37 PM

Ok fancy name for an art piece coffee table

.
For those of you who saw my Mango Writting Table in the art exhibition, this slab was cut from a little further up the trunk.
The Mango slab will be supported buy four legs, two are old stiletto boot lasts with flat bar legs morticed into their original sockets and riveted (old school) together. The lasts are cast iron so I thought a rivet would be something a little different. I'll clean them up but leave them visable. The back or other side legs/feet is a heel and a toe off another old three headed last. I have cut these off the main frame and attached them to an old garage door spring. The four legs will then be attached to two angle iron cross members which will be screwed to the Mango slab. So far so good. This one is lots of fun

. This is not a commission just one of my fun pieces

Ok have to go to bed now, only one more sleep and I can do some more on it

Mango Lassi's for all CH

**Claw Hama** · 14th February 2011, 11:07 PM

Hi Ray, forgot about the Lassi, always found they needed a little extra flavour, usualy Bacardi

Those legs look like lethal weapons, at the very least something out of Edward Scissor Hands.

Look forward to tomorrow.

Hi Waldo, yep, I could go into armer plated prosthesis I guess. They'd be bIudy heavy to drag around though.

Had said sleep, feed the chickens, its sprinkling so don't need to water the veggies, off to work Whoo, (oops dont't forget it's garbage day, bin out) I'll keep y'all posted. Don't you just love work

Goodness me! I wouldn't have thought of it, but there's something appealing about the combination of fitting feet to table legs and recycling.

You're a step ahead of us all at putting your best foot forward mate.

Move over Sawdust Maker, I'll camp here and watch this one for a while too.

I am watching this to see what gets kicked out.

The Sole purpose of this table is coffee

I think it needs cake to boot.

He that laughs Lasts

No Nick I reckon it should be Rolf's song "I'm Jake the Peg"

This table will be very special as it will be a shoe in.
