Glue up the top

Christmas swept over us like a tidal wave- we made it through the other side tiered, but strong. A by product of all this activity is I am a little overdue on the post. Things are a little past this point but I still need to take a few shots. For now here is the glue up on the octagon top.

The small one, despite all the parts and the angles, was one of the smoothest glue ups I have done to date, the big one, as usual, stretched the limits of my abilities and creativity in manipulating an object almost too big for two people to manage.


 The bottom of the top is a torsion box with crown molding around it's perimeter. This allows for a strong and thin bottom, maximizing the delicacy of the piece and most importantly allowing for more display space.

The glue ups.
first the little guy. 
ratchet straps from my truck make it all so easy. 

Now the biggie
That wears you out.
