    Outstanding work mate. I'm not into the glass thing either, but it does give good contrast and a bit of the wow factor - not as much as that grain though!

    Check out Majorpanic's chair design - I reckon something along those lines would look very grooovy. Don't use glass for the legs :eek:

    Your Jet TS - is it the supersaw? If so did you get the sliding table? This iwll be my next big purchase.

    Very nice piece of work there. A lot of time and effort must have gone into this piece and the results speak volumes.
    Was just wondering about the thickness of the glass and whether it is tempered etc? This has given me a few preliminary ideas for a coffee table, but I don't really want to have people going through it - don't want people getting blood on the nice grain
    Cheerio.

    I got the Jet JTAS-10XL cabinet saw and put my Biesemeyer 50" fence on it. Absolutely terrific saw. Couldn't ask for better.

    One of the ideas behind the glass, besides the look and the contrast, was that you can place hot plates etc on it without an issue. It's 6mm thick laminated glass - you can get a frosted glass, but I didn't think it would look quite right. The laminated I used is the same stuff they use for kitchen splashbacks etc. It's 240mm wide and sits in 12mm wide rebates full length - so it should be solid enough.

    I'll take another look at Major's chairs - I've been looking at everything I can find. I want modern-ish, fairly simple, solid back I think - certainly no thin slats. I'm thinking curved, but not as curved as Tony Kenway's chairs (as nice as they are). Upholstered seat and probably back as well. Might start playing with a prototype this weekend I think.

    Excellent work! I think glass & wood look fantastic together - a more modern 'higher' style taste. My only critizism is your photography - ha ha.

    A fantastic piece, and good luck with the chairs! Chairs are easy to build right

    Great work, Darryl. A very good, interesting and practical design, really well executed, It looks superb and I think your innovative use of glass is clever without being smart-@rsed. Have a greenie! Well done!

    Just noticed the thread. Great Job! The finish is spectacular. Gotta try these poly wipes.

    The glass certainly makes it more interesting. My recently constructed dining table now has around 4 rings and ovals in the top from hot dishes from oven, even when placed on top of thick mats. You wont have that problem with glass. Just hope one of your drunk mates doesn't slam down his bottle of Para, making a statement.

    Just found this again - does the cabinet of your JET go all the way? (to the floor!). Do you have the router table extension too? If so where did you get it? (how much?)
