Elliptical Table

You make me want to go build something. Great job, again

Hey Darrel
Another outstanding piece looks great, I’m not familiar with what an elliptical trammel is.

Hi Jim – an elliptical trammel is basically the same as a simple circular trammel except that instead of one pivot point (axis) it has two – it is really fun to operate – easy to make and a bit magical!

More of the great quality we have come to expect from you Darrel. Is this a one off or a production piece?

Rockler makes an elliptical trammel, I have used it quite a bit with good results. Seems the price was low enough to make building it not worth the cost.

Thanks Darrell
Were would I find plans for one.?

Hi Marco,
At this point it is a one-of —- but I plan on making more of them and possibly some variations – my original drawing for this piece was a bit more involved – maybe I will go back sometime and make the version that I originally drew.

Beautiful work Darrell :)

Jim,
Plans for this piece were published in the April 2007 issue of Woodwork magazine.
If you plan on building this from my Woodwork Article – there was a missing dimension in the drawing – contact me and I will get that dimension for you.

A great looking table!

Darrell another great looking piece. Nice job on the design and creation.

Nice Job! Darrell I want to take a second and thank you for your generosity…not only sharing your work but the willingness to share dimensions that were left out.Not many artists would be that willing to help others “copy” thier work.

Hi Hacksaw,
As long as the copying is for personal use – I consider it a compliment that someone thinks enough of my design to re-make it. I do however frown quite heavily on someone that copies for commercial purposes.

Fantastic desing and execution, another masterpiece!!

Good morning Darrel – Yes, we met Terry & Sue in Pasadena. Gallenberg had their project written up in Style 1900. Terry, a computer systems professional, did the design (with only reading about G&G as background) and put aside Sketchup in favor of pencil and paper – I got a kick out of that. No, we won’t be in Pasadena this year as we will be wintering in San Antonio – our first experience as snow birds.
