Project Information

I am a firefighter and at our central station we needed a new dining room table. The County that I work for kept giving us hand me down conference tables. I did some searching on the internet and looked at other stations and seen what they had for a table. I decided to use a real steel fire hydrant for the legs but there was a slight problem. I could only find one matching hydrant. So I decided to make one from 2×12's. I turned the hydrants on my wood lathe and made the caps as well. The table is 3'x10' and weights ALOT.
