A unique coffee table project

admin

Inspired by some vintage work I saw here. The top is log cabin logs from 1847. I had them rough sawn into 2 inch planks. Base is neo- industrial inspired I beam like structures that capture the board between the legs. Ss tube lines holes bored in that cross member. Rivets in the leg members for effect. Holes for effect. Big Ss slotted screws in the top for the look. Crazy but cool I think. But maybe I'm just wierdSent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2 Attached ImagesMiller diversion 165Miller mig 211Hypertherm pm 30Milwaukee 6230 14 inch chop sawMd 45 mag drill (RIP; fell on its head)New MD 45!

Reply:I used 14 ga steel for the I beam inspired legs with si bronze for the welds (sort of), rivets are spiral splined hammer in type rivets.

Reply:Considering the amount of time and money that went into making this im not surprised they charge an arm and a leg for their work. I think they sell to businesses, bars etc... I find that with my projects the first one always takes forever ... design and process changes come with subsequent pieces and there are always lots of places where speed, accuracy and neatness can be improved. The mag drill and a 2 inch annular cutter saved tons of time and made each hole perfect. If i didnt let the drill fall 5 feet to its death i could start a second one! Have to save my pennies to replace it! UG!Miller diversion 165Miller mig 211Hypertherm pm 30Milwaukee 6230 14 inch chop sawMd 45 mag drill (RIP; fell on its head)New MD 45!

Reply:Ohhhh, I feel your pain.  Too bad the cutter didn't "take it".
Reply:That's a great looking table. It's also tough about your drill.

Reply:So, now what with the MS? Clear coat? Oh, BTW, how'd you do the mask?
Reply:[email protected] you butterfly/bowtie 'key' the  log slabs? If not they tend to check through in normal indoor moisture variations in most latitudes.Keys usually used in slab type 'cant' or slab cut cellulose to minimize the checking when wood is fastened to metal.Very interesting ideas, I'd consider rusting the steel to match the 'aged' wood, and all but the circumference fasteners look 'purposeful' to me.CheersKevin Morin

Reply:That is one fine table.  I am usually not to interested in furniture,  However anything as well done as that is artwork more than furniture.  If you have people getting down on their knees to see all the wonders of that piece do not be surprised.    Mac

Reply:Looking at that piece of craftsmanship is inspirational. It combines two major industries and demonstrates the strength each material is capable of under the proper construction. This is a true piece of art, a time traveler, a reminder that Elliot is a master craftsman. I will certainly be sharing this piece with all my acquaintances.
