The under structure now behaves as a single mass. It needs a bit of extra support and I need to provide a system to attach the legs to the table top. I can accomplish both with the addition of these two pieces of wood.<\/p>\n

I am going to use a router with a collar to blast out the channel for the cross pieces. The collar rides in the rectangular cut out below.<\/p>\n

\"P1000441_2.JPG\"<\/p>\n

I trim and then drill the cross pieces on the drill press. I make some of the holes oversized to allow the table top to expand and contract. You cant stop wood from moving so I must allow for it.<\/p>\n

The under structure is attached to the table top. I have added the two additional curves in the front of the photo. They allow me to add extra support to the legs. As a bonus I like the way they add to the composition.<\/p>\n

I flip the table over and I can now concentrate on composing the top of the table.<\/p>\n

I use a router to rough out the facets on the table top. Then I use hand tools to clean them up.<\/p>\n

\"P1000519.jpg\" \"P1000522.jpg\"<\/p>\n

I sand the table top with a power sander.<\/p>\n

\"P1000525.JPG\"<\/p>\n

I follow that up with a thorough hand sanding.<\/p>\n

\"P1000529.JPG\"<\/p>\n

The under structure gets treated to the same hand sanding. There is nothing left to do but put on the finish! Well there is one more thing to do…<\/p>\n

Sign the piece!<\/p>\n
