I need to take a minute and bask in the compliments! <br /><br />...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />...okay, basking all done.<br /><br />Gordon, glad you're understanding the situation clearly.<br /><br />Dale,<br /><br />hmm, ah, Woodwork Magazine.... You know, it seems to have fallen a bit from what it once was and only seems to be published irregularly these days. The last couple of issues have lost something it seems to me. Well, they lost the editor, for one thing! Hopefully it will get its mojo back, as that was my favorite woodworking magazines not too long ago. I'm not sure about submitting an article at this time - I am pretty swamped at the moment, and have quite a bit of writing and drawing time laying ahead in the near future. Thanks for the suggestion though - it was a good one.<br /><br />Jamie S,<br /><br />one thing I really appreciate about the client on this project is that he 'gets' the point of the concealed joinery - craftsmanship without ostentation - and thus I can make a table like this without too much in the way of compromises.<br /><br />Jared,<br /><br />I'm still studying how to do joinery and look forward to making further improvements as time goes on. Thanks for your question and very kind words - I'm glad you are enjoying following this build.<br /><br />~ChrisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-412514871222793822011-02-25T14:30:00.285-05:002011-02-25T14:30:00.285-05:00I really enjoy watching your work. The table look...I really enjoy watching your work. The table looks amazing so far. I'm curious to know how much study it took you to become comfortable with such advanced joinery. It outclasses the basic joints I have learned from western classes by far and I still find those to be difficult to execute!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10164962778425119302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-11788552655349929842011-02-25T10:05:12.464-05:002011-02-25T10:05:12.464-05:00Almost a shame to cover all those joints, but it&#...Almost a shame to cover all those joints, but it's the kind of masterpiece where the discoveries will keep coming for anyone looking thoroughly at the completed project.

Mone...Just look at the width of those solid planks!<br />Money wouldn't pay you for the stress and worry!<br />But then, this is a labour of love for you, and, I suspect, a bargain for the client.<br />Who would have thought the construction of a table! could be so ... technically complicated and captivating.<br />Mighty.Gordon Millarnoreply@blogger.com
