sam's been busy since open studio. today he finished this new steel table base for a client of his and tomorrow, we will make the table top, which will be painted white. it should be an interesting look. click the photos to enlarge them ...
he started by drawing the base in his cad program and then had trevor cut a welding jig on the cnc, which is always a timesaver. after welding the pair of xs with the plates on top, he made the jig below to position and support the stretcher for final welding.
once that was finished, he started work on a steel coffee table base that will support the 38' x 54" claro walnut slab coffee table top below.
the slab is one from a set we received back in march that i wrote
a blog post about then. it was at that time affectionately known as 'the goat faced slab' and was in fact the first one from the group to sell. there will be a viewing by a potential client to select a desk top tomorrow and we will likely make a gallery piece with one of the two remaining slabs next week.
and he installed the three custom spark screens at a home in stratton ... they look right at home ...
and tomorrow, he and jim will finish the installation of about 160 lineal feet of railing that he has been working on off and on since the winter ... big week for installations and i'm sure he will be happy when that one is complete ... more photos later ...
