Large Conference Table For Bank. Stays Here In Lincoln

Timmy C, Domino dovetails??? ;) I think you need to send that to Sam Maloof and see what he thinks. :D ;D Fred
 
It is always fun to watch glue dry.  I peeked in on Randy last night before he left and he was removing some clamps from the Ark.  We decided to go away from the epoxy and use the dominos in conjunction with good old yellow glue.  Below are some shots.

During a conversation with a fellow FOG member, I was asked why we were making the top first.  Well, it occured to me that I hadn't mentioned that the top is all that we are doing for this project.  There will be four poweder-coated steel bases that go with this table perpendicular to the grain of the top; plenty of support.....sorry about not informing you all of that little bit of info....but we do thank you for your concern!!!  ;D

Peace, and everyone have a super evening!

And every one on the narrowest setting I assume  ;)

Can't wait to see it when complete. Keep the photos coming.

Yeah Timmy! I assume you are ONLY using the narrowest setting on the Domino  ;)

Duh!!!  Wouldn't allow it any other way.  I think the Domino total was 119ish.  We had to be careful where the "would-be" radius was being cut. Didn't want the Doms popping through.

 
Randy made progress while I was nursing my "bug infected" body, and to top it all off, the 7 year recurring Sinass infection flared back up.  (Side Note, If anyone has had the sinusectomies that I am planning on having April 11, let me know what to expect please  ??? ).

I missed the final clamping procedures, but here is the latest of the "table built on an Ark..." with the arc being cut... ;D

Timmy,
  What type of scraper did you use to flatten that after the glue up?   ;)  Or was it a six foot wide belt sander?   ;D  Great work!     

PS Is that my new Trion you're testing?  :D
 
How are you planning to move this top from your shop to the place where it will be assembled with the base and actually used?  It appears to me to be in one piece.  I thought most conference tables are made in sections so they can be assembled on site.

Glad to see that you upheld the honor of the Domino machine - tight setting only.

Using the Dominos was a huge help in conjunction with "the Ark."  There was very little edge slop.  We used the 850 at about a half mm.  and cleaned up some high spots and glue issues.  pics below

Here a couple of shots of the edge left by the Trion, and lopping off the end with the 75.

The Table is going into a bank and there are no issues with the load in at the facility.  For us, we have big overheads, and we hire a moving company to move the piece.  Ground Floor to Ground Floor is always a plus.  Not to mention a straight in shot to the "boardroom" of the bank.

No the fun really begins.  Taking the table to smooth with a Lie-Nielson #8 and a Compass plane on the edges, bringing them into the scribe marks.    :o ;)
 
  Ahhh, nothing like the prospect of scraping a table flat to help chase away the flu bug.  I actually enjoy this part.  I would probably have passed the table through an overhead sander in narrow sections, 2 or 3, & then glued them together last.  That leaves only one or two seams to chase down.  I don't have a portable plane so have always gone right to scrapers after the sander.  I love my Stanley #80m with a hock scraping blade.  You can move in any direction, flattening from all directions.  The satisfaction of cutting with planes & scrapers rules.  It's all in how you sharpen, but once you learn these tools it's amazing.  I've scraped many banded edges flush to veneer, so as to just kiss the veneer.   :)   I'll final sand over the scraped surface with the D/A sander at 150 grit, as the finishers hate too shiny a finish sanding/scraping.  Scrapers are great for the inlay work also, such as string inlays.

Keep up the posts on this one Timmy, great work!

PS  That Trion sure cuts sweetly, when are you sending it to me?  :D

Timmy,
  That looks great!!!!!!!!  Now go home, & get some sleep, before you pass out & fall off the table.  It's hard to put down a sharp plane though, I know I've been there brother.  :D  Oh, & bring some curls from the plane home to show the wife, then watch her say "nice dear" & roll her eyes.    ::)  :D :D

P.S.  That UPS link shows as not in the system yet.  Did it just ship today?
 
theres a retired carpenter across the road from me

he told me about planing a floor flat when he was an apprentice 60 years ago

your job looks the same

what a job

I said, "the FOG is watching!"  Johnny, the first thing out of my mouth was, "dude, where is the vac???"  response, "It's all the way over in the demo room.  The only thing that over here is the midi...I would have filled the bag three times."  Kids, Kids, Kids.  As the leader of the pack, my head is indeed down and I am kicking the shop floor asking for forgiveness from the RoundBoy et al.

Timmy  :'(  :'(  :'(
