The Foundational Stuff

Things are a bit out of sequence in this video but I'll try to briefly sort it out. To recap, the mould is the tool which was created to produce the curved component of the game table (as well as the desk). The last video shows how we adhered the oyster veneer onto this core. 

This video starts out with me making the top half of the mould. Then the video switches to making that core for the game table and then again switches back to the making of the top half of the mould where I am attaching the steel bolting angles.  It is a bit long but not nearly as long as it actually took.

These TV shows where they make a desk or a table in an hour is bull-ony.  They don't show the many set-ups or trial runs.  That has already been done.  If they have to do an operation ten times they only show you once.  And they never show you a wreck.  They don't have a 40 year old wide belt sander that destroys a belt once in a while.  Now that would be some quality viewing.  I hate it when that happens and don't think of it as quality viewing, but it is real life.  Hence the bumper sticker, "..it happens."
