Good day
We have some old table top and my wife asked to make some small legs so it can be used as coffee table or just a table to put things during the barbecue.
That, gave me the chance to “play” a little bit with the new “Rolling mortise jig”...it works perfect…and fast.
I could screw the hinges to the top but, because the top was cupped, I made some extensions or elevations that I glue and screw to the top to straighten it (the table must be folded and stored for the Polish winter).
On one of the pictures (in the garden) you will see the drill connected to a flashlight. This flashlight has a sealed lead/acid 6V accumulator so, it is used as “double function”, light/drill.
The legs were painted with two layers of impregnate and the top, with Wood/Metal lacquer
So here it is without any text on the pictures…for a change…
Regards
niki

I love your innovation Niki!
I don’t mind admitting that I’ve used some of your ideas from time to time.
thanks for posting this latest project.

Thank you for your kind replies
Drew
Do you know that because you are ¼ Polish, you have the right to Polish Nationality…don’t tell me that you want…..

I’m very happy that you found some ideas within my junk jigs
Tom
From what I hear from the ones that have the Domino, it should be a great tool but, $1000 as a start and all that just for hobby…
I think that the Domino has only 3 widths or so but, with my jig, I’m limited only by the router bit diameter that is actually, almost unlimited widths of tenons.
Thank again
niki

Hi Niki,
Great idea and a nice piece.
If I ever get to Poland, I’d like very much to sit down with you and just shoot the breeze.
Nice work.
All the best

Well I’ll be…. that’s pretty creative Niki. Nice ideas and the table matches eveything else perfectly. You’re an innovative man.

Niki you’ve done it again. Great project and as usual very detailed description of the process. Thank goodness for digital photography – you’d go broke if you had to pay to develop all your great photos.
Beautiful backyard – looks like you carved a little of the country in the middle of a big city. Great looking patio.

Beutiful Niki, but I think it needs to be moved 1/16” to the south. Really an outstanding project and description.

Thank you so much for you so kind and warm comment…except Tom (mot)...you always have some criticism, even for 1/16” (LOL)
Gord
you are most welcome, I love to talk about woodworking and here, I don’t have anyone to do so (still woodworking hobby is not developed here…)
Bill
My house is at the edge of the town but, I know that one day they are going to build those 4 floors buildings around me…but, so far, so good

Niki;
The table is awesome, love the thought you put into it to fold up and hold the legs.
But i think we all just have to know more of that jig! To repeat TomFran, you may, indeed, be a genius. By far the most interesting thing I’ve seen today…
Good show!

Thank you wildbill903
The “rolling mortise jig” idea is came to me after I made the “rolling tenon jig” for the table saw
