Thank you! It sounds great and I use it often, I definitely suggest giving it a go : )

Thanks for the heads up

Thanks for the heads up

Sorry to say I do not have one

Hey Tony, what do you mean by 'plate'?

if you contact me through my website I could send you the sketch up file if that works

Great work man!

The pergola was just part of the overall backyard project, the table was the real focus here.

Thanks!

We have vinyl siding and it would have been a pain to attach the pergola to the house through the siding.

Good tip!

I'm not sure that would have saved any weight and would have been a heck of a lot more work. This is light enough as is and was simple to build.

Definitely a fun rig!

Thanks, it was a super fun build!

Thanks! It's pretty amazing how much you can squeeze in when you think things through beforehand.

Thanks Zack!

They stay perpendicular, no flopping! :)

Thanks, totally agree!

That is AWESOME! You can do a surprising amount of work with those tools for sure. Keep it up!

Added it to two contests!

Thanks for letting me know! I updated the link to the plans.

Thanks Doug!

Awesome work man! Looks great. I'm sure it'll last you for years to come (I still use mine every day). One tip: after washing it, dry it off with a towel and then let it finish drying on its side. Helps to keep it from warping.

I like it a lot so far. The Easel software makes it pretty much dummyproof, since it walks you through each step of getting the machine set up before each carving session. No metal so far, although I think it would cut softer metals fine.

Thanks so much!

Fixed it!

Thanks a lot!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

Definitely a good idea, but I'm not sure how precise the glass company was when cutting the glass. If they're precise enough, that's definitely a safer alternative.

Awesome work! Glad you came out with an awesome looking stand.

Thanks a lot! Looks like the exact item isn't on their site anymore, but here's a picture with the tables in them: https://www.roomandboard.com/catalog/living/metro-sofa-with-briggs-cocktail-tableAs you can see, my version is very, very similar. Love the look!

As it clearly states on the template page, you can leave your CC info and address blank, it's just a quirk of the SquareSpace checkout system that it shows those fields.

Thanks!

Wood glue wouldn't be strong enough on the joints on the base, as glue on end grain just absorbs into the wood rather than creating a lot of strength. The reason your countertop worked was the overlapping long grain contact, that's providing all of the strength in your piece.

As I said multiple times in the Instructable and video, this project could be done with MUCH cheaper and fewer tools. I produce weekly how-to projects and need as much efficiency as possible in my shop, hence the nicer tools. A cheap planer, router and table saw could build this project effectively.
