A pair of tables I built for a friend out here. The pedestals break apart and the tops fold up for travel.

Hi George, are the tops wood with 2 hinged pieces? How is the top attached to pedestal?

Thanks, Michael.
drmagico - The tops are wood w/ 2 hinged pieces. They screw into the pedestals via a bolt (on the upright) and a threaded insert under the top. I tried "keeping it simple" by just slipping the tops onto a peg on the pedestal, but it wobbled like crazy. ![]()

Those look fantastic George. The look may be "Victorian," but the twisted center column and scrolled feet are whimsical enough I could see these working in a Steam Punk show, or even a Ren Fair. Really beautiful work.
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

Thanks, Wizard. I didn't think of steampunk or ren fair.

Nice work George. Always a pleasure to see!
Barley twist legs are more Baroque(17c)than Victorian. I didn't think you were that old... ![]()

Nice work George. It makes me want to get rid of those shelves holding all the tools I never use to make space for a lathe.

Thanks, gimpy.
Actually, come to think of it, I shoulda said up front... the client provided the center spindles (balusters). I did the rest of it. Ray: thanks too. The barley twist legs were still around in the Victorian and Edwardian periods, but, like someone said somewhere along the line, "If it ain't Baroque, don't fix it." ![]()
