The case is under construction

As I work on the case, I'll occasionally post pictures.  Add your email in the box on the right if you'd like to be notified when I post updates.


First, lots of drawings







Including 3D drawings.  These are just for me, to work out the construction.



And lots of color samples

A new dead flat surface for the workbench

The workbench is leveled using these big corner bolts

The sub-base

Fitting the second layer

For stability, the columns are laminated by clamping to the true bench surface.

The columns, trimmed, tenoned, and detailed.  Each will have a threaded rod running through it.

Jig for precise leg placement
