sam finished up this steel coffee table frame last week. it will be leaving for chicago as soon as the shippers can get here. it started out as 40" x 40" and then, at the last minute, the size was changed to 60" x 60". quite the change actually. it's now a pretty big object. 18" high. rainbow finish steel, and it will have a chicago cut stone inside the top frame. click the photos to enlarge them ..
here it is in process .. 1 x 3 tubing top frame; 2.5" square legs; 1 x 3 aprons and supports.
the jig was 66 x 66, which took up quite a bit of real estate in sam's metal shop.
the color isn't 100% accurate here, but this picture shows the 'bolt' details requested by the client to give the piece an 'industrial' look ... works for me.
