A 'menuisier' in french. <br /><br />It's a nice design to have three legs in order to work on a piece comfortably at many different angles without having feet in their way.<br /><br />Therefor I can only assume that a table top would be in order. Some kind of workbench tabletop?<br /><br />Although I'm not sure what the actual shape of the table top would look like. Perhaps triangular?<br /><br /><br />On a side note, Chris, your fancy 'treteau a devers' looks very nice. A nice design! Although its only in theory, currently. I would highly recommend you build that!. If you come to one of my classes, I may help you to achieve that goal. Just a thought though....... I got a two week course going on near you, at Heartwood, and If you do come, it would sharpen back up my skills a little. =) I would really enjoy it.<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />Pat<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-57358843475651807682011-10-16T16:29:40.237-04:002011-10-16T16:29:40.237-04:00Petri,
