Two-Face Teaching Table

Despite the intentional “mistakes”, I think the whole thing came out incredible. One of my favorites I’ve seen yet.

i cant tell which side is the side with mistakes—-so tell your professors that your teaching tool is perfect—-because when i get a close-up look..with more pictures I will really learn!!!\

good luck with the grade…personally (and professionally as a teacher) this is an excellent teaching medium. Teaching with metaphor and truly makes people thiink and they will remember the lessons…

Excellent concept…A+

What an intriguing piece of work RB. I, too, would like to see a series of pictures showing some of the errors. Thanks for sharing it.

Heck, your bad side looks better than some of my good projects! ;)

Nice work.

Great project! I’d love to see it in person, because I really can’t see the mistakes on the “mistake” side.

Here are the pictures of the bad side construction. Good side will be up soon.

Thanks for all of the comments. With the bad side I was trying to show the work of someone who means well, but is either too impatient or just too new to the craft to use proper technique – basically me before I began researching this project. I’ve always had the woodworking bug, but now I have a much greater appreciation for what it takes to do it right. If anyone is near Cincinnati and would like to check this table out just let me know.

Thanks again,
Evan

After looking at photos of the bad side, can I get a big “been there, done that” amen? <g>
