Interesting design, Harold. Thanks for the construction explanation!

I really like the design of this table. I am a huge fan of the cantilever effect. Well done.

That is too cool Harold. Love the rock accent idea. Is that a volcano you live on :-)...?

Very unique table. Nice job. That’s thinking outside the box. (4 legs)

Ya it’s a volcano miles, but the good thing is when it’s cold, you can just go outside and lay on the warm rocks, day or night. We live at about 5000’ above sea level, so it gets down in the 30’s at night so I guess it’s a good thing, least that’s what I keep telling my wife.

Harold. Can you tap into it and get geothermal heat.

That is one of the most interesting tables I’ve ever seen. Very creative.

Nice one Harold. I actually like the glue joints on your laminations. How stable is this table, considering that it’s being supported on one tenon?

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Wow! That is something you don’t see everyday. Very nice.

-- "so much to learn and so little time"..

At first glance it looks like it would have to be unstable, but think of it as very short diving board. I didn’t mention above, but once I have fitted the piece, I dado a groove in the underside of the two lower legs and the back of the upright and epoxy in a length of 1/4” threaded rod in all three legs. From a function standpoint the wood becomes an “exposed” core for fiberglass legs, although the finished look doesn’t give that impression.

Very delicate piece of work.

Creative approach to this great piece of woodworking. Just don’t let anyone sit on that beaut.

I like your concept, and the idea of reinforcing with fiberglass. Something that I had not considered using before. I will keep that one in mind, and when I need some reinforcement for a piece, maybe I can try that also.

good work,
Mark

Good design and details.

-- Jiri

Unbelievably chic. Words can attempt to pay your table a justifiable tribute, but I feel they’d fall a bit short; although there are those who’ve gathered here to bask in the glow of your great Artisanship (as he kneels).

Very interseting design. Nice work.
