Outdoor Dining table #1: Is it right to post 1st phase if all metal?

I think it is really fine to blog it and then make a post when it is finished, woodworking is also other than wood.

Hi Ken;

It looks good.

I always enjoy playing with steel.

(They are mad that I don’t know how to weld. What a weanie I am.)

Absolutely post it. Every project I have ever done has included metal screws…...and sometimes metal hinges!!!!!!

Hello Ken,

Good start, also looks extremly heavy just with the legs.

-- Bob Kenosha Wi.

Great start guys can’t wait to see the finish

Looks like ebony legs to me.

Great use of Iron Wood from the UP of Mich…lol

Hey Ken!

Yes, I see the 2×4… the clamps… the tape measure… the square…pipe clamps… and mallet!

Looks like woodworking to me…

You’re just building a metal frame to hold the Wooden Granite Impregnated Slab you’re making! LOL

Go for it!

Sounds G R E A T !!

Sounds like a Fantastic project!

Wish I could weld… no I don’t … if I really wanted to, I would be able to… but I play with wood…. my brother is the welder… who tries to play with wood…. maybe he shouldn’t .. as to your base for your table .. looking good my man… keep it up…

Ken, I think most of us are wood-admirers with no real time for “wood gods”. We are all brothers and sisters in the LOVE OF WOOD, but still wish to be open to the knowledge we can garner from the other skills required to enhance the functionality of wood. Welding? OH YEAH, Keep us in the loop. Great work my friend!

I consulted the oracles and they don’t see a problem.

Love welding!

Are there challenges unique to combining the three materials? Wood of course changes dimension depending on the humidity, granite is extremely stable, how does the relatively moist wood affect the oxidation of the metal? I think this project opens a whole bunch of aspects about the materials we work with.

I miss smithing and welding… maybe I can get back into it someday, in the meantime I will enjoy your posts!
