To me, making things in wood is like writing a song. We all have the same raw materials to work with, but each of us sees (or hears) something different in our brains.
One of my students picked up a couple of walnut slabs from Andrew's shop - Reclaimed Secrets, and wanted to make a coffee table.
Clearly, he had an idea in mind as he started cutting and assembling this amazing table.
His vision included metal legs fabricated by our shop neighbor, Hugo. Notice the leg that spans gap in the top.
There's a gap of around 3-4 inches, and he didn't want the metal leg showing in that gap.
So we designed a unique leg that wouldn't show, yet provided enough strength to support the table.
What an awesome build.
It truly does take a village to make some of these pieces, and this one will be remembered for a long time.
Nice work, Alvin! (and Andrew and Hugo!)
