There will always be dissenters. Don't take the criticism to heart Jay.

I love your work and really enjoy watching your well put together videos. And of course, Hugo and the work shop manager are a treat as well!

I think the top of this price is made from one of those round tables that has flaps that fold down to make the table smaller or fold up to make a round table. I think someone took the side panels off of one of these tables to make the top of this table. I think the holes on the underside of this table top are from the hinges that were on the original table. The legs might be the legs of the original table.

[@Flippingdrawers]

who knows but a good guess ;-)

[@justkiddin84]

Could be! Maybe the manufacturer had extra ones and said, ‘hey that’s different!’

[@1953lili]

A gate leg perhaps?

The burl grain on the top piece is so pretty. I wish they'd gone with any other shape on it, but I think this will look lovely as a hall console table if paired with other wood pieces.

If you look at the missing apron outline and how the leg assembly overlaps it, it's pretty clear this is a "second marriage" for the top and bottom.

What a unique table. It reminds me a bit of a surfboard. It turned out beautifully. Personally, I wouldn't know what a project was without regular distractions, especially in the form of furry friends that show up to say hi. They are all so adorable!! I love watching how furniture restorers handle similar repairs differently. There isn't always one correct way. I like to think outside the box, so I might handle things differently than the next person. I don't have 1% of the skill that you do, but I still enjoy doing little projects for my home. I really enjoy watching you at your craft.

Thanks you, Jay, for expressing your thoughts about more than one way to do things, and people having various and legitimate reasons for not doing something the way everyone else does it. I used to hand spin wool, I was self-taught, of course I didn't do it the way the "professionals" did it, but my way worked for me, and I was happy with the end results. If everyone did everything the same way, how boring that would be, and how limiting, less happy mistakes that lead to beneficial discoveries. Thanks for saying it.
