Great job! I made a hay rake table a year ago from light European oak but my fussy client (my daughter) insisted that it should be extendable and have six matching chairs! I wish I had seen this video before I started but I think the project was a success, anyway. I preferred my hay rake to have a straight, rather than curved cross member.

Michael, what a wonderful piece. My wife and I love it. I ditto comments from the others. You are a great instructor with great projects. Looking forward to your next one. Thanks
Randy
