The Egg Table

Looks good Debbie – It should work just fine. Love the wood burning.

What a great idea to make this for your aunt MsD.Looks good in the rustic style and special with your wood burning.I’m sure she will really appreciate your effort.

-- Dustygirl..Hastings,Ontario.. How much wood can 1 gal chuck if 1 gal can't cut wood?

Nice table, MsDebbie!

I, too, really like the rustic look. Your artwork and signature makes this table really special for your Aunt.

You could have used nicer wood, some really beautiful exotic, or made some fancy dovetailing or in lay work, but it would not have been any more special. It’s the thought that counts here I think, she will beam. Very special.

Ms Debbie, can I have my eggs scrambled? Nice job darlin. I’m sure Auntie will love it, especially if it keeps her connected to the family. Does she know how much she is loved? If not, this table should remind her. Happy New Year

-- I love the smell of sawdust in the morning....

Very nice, Debbie. It is all about getting people together and getting them comfortable.

thanks everyone :)

And yes you can have scrambled. Some days she does scrambled and some days it’s sunny-side up and always with a wee bit of ashes in them from the fire :)

The first thing that comes to mind is WHAT THE HECK is an Egg Table??? The second things that comes to mind is that maybe a drawer or shelf where the electric skillet can slide into for storage, with utensils for cooking the eggs. Just a thought.

I’m reminded how I had to teach the maid at a friends house in Central America, what scrambled eggs were. She only knew how to fry eggs sunny side up, which in itself can be a feat sometimes.

First rate, MsDebbie!

What color are you going to paint it? :-)

That’ll do, Deb. It’s a dandy.

IT LOOKS GOOD DEBBIE BUT JUST 2 THINGS. 1. Don’t forget that you owe charliem1958 for his total lack of couth. 2. it looks just a little rough IE. sliver rough, especially on soft hands do you think that a touch of sandpaper, just enough to smooth the sharpies might be in order (certainly not enough to detract from the rustic look.

-- RTB. stray animals are just looking for love

thanks guys!!
hmmm paint… perhaps the colour of walnut? :D

storage.. since it will be staying outside a place for storage probably isn’t the way to go but I did consider a “hanger” at the side to put the utensils during use. Maybe on my next one.. or maybe I will still add it to this one.

sanding: I did run the palm sander over the top and hit the edges with my Dremel sander. I’ll probably run the wood through the planer for my next one, though. (To be honest, I just never thought about it when I started this one.)

“not that I’m an expert in this area, but I think it is the same as everything else: there are wood burners and then there are wood burners.
The craft store variety can do the job but if you really want to do serious work then the $$ one is the way to go. Lee Valley has one (as an example).

Of course, put a toy camera in a talented artist’s hands and he/she can get amazing results, better than a “non-talented” photographer with an expensive camera. It’s not the tool – but the person using it that really makes the difference.”

I think your point is well illustrated with the work you have done here. Beautiful job of it and a most thoughtful gift for your aunt. Bravo!

Douglas – how did you pull that out of the archives???
