   S what method did you finally use to level the peices. Looks great by the way. Not my style but if that is the look they were after you pulled it off nicely.

   I tried to open that photo and all I got was a little red "x" in the corner on the screen.  Is it me?

   Jim, I knew this picture posting seemed too easy... can anybody point me to cloud's picture in a post post? Have you seen that hickry yet? Shoulda faxed it...

   Tom, I fastened the knees to the floor (big learning curve there!), cut holes in a plywood topped table that fit over the knees, used one of them thar flexible japanese saws to rough cut the tops, then ran a router flat on the table with the bit just a bit lower than the ply...that worked wonderfully, but we must never speak of the fine layer of dust everywhere...there were other problems, too, but I got the next one pegged;-)

   Jim, Prospero is 'holding' the picture somewhere on its server. It may be that, temporarily, the part of Prospero holding the picture suffers a wee brain fart at the time you click on the link. Try it again a few minutes later, and it may well open up, as it did for me. Slainte, RJ.RJFurniture

   nice job - I don't really think much of the concept,  protrusions thru the top of a table,  looks like they get in the way -but it appears it's a  clean,  professional execution - congrats - DOUD

   Dave, I don't think those nubbies will stay there very long. The magic stickit stuff doesn't really work, and after the knees were cut and leveled, and the nubs flattened, they don't look continuous if you are standing over the table. From any other position, they look great...I'm just a carpenter, and truncating irregular cones is tough for a pea brain.

   And, your idea of lag bolting the knees through the floor should have been taken more seriously by the architect...the epoxy and threaded rod was a joke, and we ended up running 3" screws from under the floor into the cypress anyway...

   not my cup of tea, either...but you should see this guy's collection of wooden hats, they are unbelievable...
