Decided I should make something besides "yard art".  My first attempt at something that I actually had to measure and try and make square!Bob Attached Images
Reply:Mighty nice. Real nice. Never could do that scrollie stuff myself. Nice to see folks who do.
Reply:I like your work.  Very elegant.  Always creative.  Sorry about the photo. This is the only table base I ever did.  It was to hold a 350 lbs piece of marble.  It is hand forged 3/8x2" bar.  I tackled the leveling problem by allowing some spring to be left in the legs for adjustment.  Even if you get the table level in your shop there is no guarantee that it will be place somewhere level.  I think the legs need to be adjustable.I never saw the marble go on the table.  Haven't heard from the client, it has been 2 years. I did a photo journal of from beginning to end on the table fabrication, though I take more Polaroids for my portfolio so I think they would all be blurry. Attached Images
