Once my son is a bit older and less likely to fall into a corner I’ll move the table upstairs where the scale will better fit the much larger living room. Overall, I’m pleased with the table. I tried several new techniques; and while not everything is as perfect as I’d like; I learned new skills that will make for better projects in the future.

Very nice job!

I’d like to make one of these, but my wife doesn’t want to encourage anyone to eat in front of the television. :-(

Great! I was hoping to see more finish photos. I just found these after seeing your latest blog.

I enjoyed watching the progress of this one.

The family should enjoy this for many years to come.
