I will be employing a mid-point connection to the top along each of the four aprons on the coffee table top though. <br /><br />Have made some slight design revisions to the piece, which may be shown in the next posting.<br /><br />~CAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-14334038661024486822014-10-12T16:40:56.927-04:002014-10-12T16:40:56.927-04:00As a suggestion.

The connection point need not be large, perhaps modeled as a pillow block. Great work Chris.<br /><br />Jack SundbergAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10015012431406859016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-51110026441776383132014-10-12T12:03:59.229-04:002014-10-12T12:03:59.229-04:00Joe,

It boils down to how the top will look with a finish on it, as the glossiness will reveal imperfections more readily. Not sure at this point if the finish will be glossy or matte - that's one thing. If the surface is evenly bowed, then it may look fine, however if it has a more lumpy appearance in the bowed area, then I may elect to plane that portion out. <br /><br />Regardless of what I do, the top will move in service, and I expect some of that movement will be tending to bulge the table up and down slightly, so that will likely have repercussions as far as how the surface looks. Not much i can do about that. The framing will tend to keep the parts flat and in plane, and allow them to move. You can corral the sheep, so to speak, but forget about keeping them fixed in place.<br /><br />~C<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-39859621351925774692014-10-12T11:53:12.382-04:002014-10-12T11:53:12.382-04:00Chris, seeing as how exact you work....when the ti...Chris, seeing as how exact you work....when the time comes...if the table top is still bowed 1/32 will you plane it out? or leave it to move as it needs to?Joe Mnoreply@blogger.com
