Above we see the beginnings of what should be, at some time in the future, a table top. Below we see a few boards glued together with clamps attached.
The following photo shows the frame that the table top is to be placed on.
Next we see the boards 24 hours later, they are secured together with glue.
To get the correct pattern for the top, we have placed the table upside down on the bottom of the boards. We outline the circler top.
Clamped to the workmate I needed to cut the boards into a circle.
Circle cut, we see the saw used in this venture.
The top is now cut, and the edge has been routed and sanded.
Below, the new top is painted and attached to the table.
The maintenance supervisor here at The Ford Homestead has said it will need a couple more coats on the top and the frame should also be painted.
The handy man’s work is never done!
