The table with the three 15.5" leaves in... The pedestal is stationary
This photo shows the runner assembly from underneath . The slides are equalizing Hafeles which I believe are no longer available. Moin Hardware has a comparable slide This post includes a nice note from the clients, the finishing schedule and a few more photos not shown here
This photo shows the3/4" bolt securing the runners and top to the base
This shows the hardware and aprons without the other structure in the way ...
The CAD drawing showing the column top and the subtop that the runners are attahced to ... the table then seperates for moving into the pedestal part and the top with the runners attached. The bolt and a few screws hold the whole thing together ...
A 1/6th scale model of a 10' claro walnut table we're currently working on
This was a first ... chainsawing indoors, but it was freezing cold and snowing like crazy outside ... We all had our ear protection on ... Don't try this at home ...

This is one of the two 1.5" thick metal bases we had waterjetted at a local steel fabiricator ... Sam will assemble the pieces and we'll bolt it to the base, like the model ...
Gonna look great ... Here it is with a little alcohol on a little of the ffigured part
I'll just throw this one in here at the end ... It's an Art Deco style 'black' walnut cabinet that Will just finished ... The post is called 'Paint it Black'

my technique is, imho, probably most similar in controversy generating potential to sam maloof's bandsaw techniques ... NOT for everyone. as I mentioned in my DCF blog post, I bought my first chainsaw in 1973. I have worked in the woods as a professional logger, and I cut, split and hauled 4 or 5 cords of wood a year to heat my last house for 23 years ... long and short of it, chainsaws are my friend and, in heaven, all chainsaw chains are brand new ...
