    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.

    This table will be my next, and largest, furniture project to date. This video series was really helpful and gave me some great tips, especially on the sequence of the build elements. Thanks Mike for the guidance and clarity.
