I’ve been wondering where you went!  Nice job on all the projects Matt!  I love the design of the walnut and glass table!  Question for you, how do you like that Bessey strap clamp?

[member=21249]RKA[/member] thanks man! been a busy last couple months, haven't' hopped on!

And in all honesty - I want to post more but I have so much trouble uploading pictures. They're always too big and if I post more than 1-2 at a time the post never posts and I get frustrated.

I think I'm doing something wrong.

Anyways - thanks for the kind words man!

I love the Bessey clamp. In fact, speak of the devil I just ordered a second one on Amazon 2 days ago.

I need 2 of them for a jewelry box coming up for my fiancee - going to make it next week. Pictures to come!

Don't glue skirt to a wide solid wood panel. It will expand and contract seasonally.

^ What he said

I use dominos for the expansion and contraction issues

Keep doing the good work!

When it comes to solid wood there will always be wood movement concerns.  How much will always vary based on local climates and also micro climates within a building.

Love the look of the table!

If you need help with resizing images prior to posting just send me a PM.

Thanks everyone! Thanks for the tip. Totally agree. I'll make it differently next time.
