Re-igniting a long dormant hobby!
March 14, 2020 So, here's where I departed from the crowd and created my own way of distributing power. I found one of these terminal blocks laying around. It belonged to my Dad before he passed away. It took some research but there was someone who still sold this particular model of a Westinghouse terminal... Continue Reading →
February 29, 2020 Using the same technique to add one of the four legs to the second table. Inserting one of the legs prior to bolting. The second table frame is complete. The second table frame, complete, has been placed next to the first frame where they will eventually be bolted together.
February 22, 2020 Here are some miscellaneous shots I took of both tables. Table 2 is coming along and table 1 has been moved closer to its final resting place next to the wall. Moving that big table was...interesting. Two legs done so far.
February 16, 2020 I didn't chronicle a lot of this table's construction since it was identical to the first. The only difference was that the size of this one was half that of the first one. This one is 4X8 where the first one was 4X16. These two will eventually be bolted together to form... Continue Reading →
February 1, 2020 The frame for the first table is complete. Now it's on to the second table.

After that I'll start using the track design layout software to see... Continue Reading →
January 26, 2020 This is kind of a tutorial in pictures of how I attached a leg. I tried to use a cookie cutter approach so I wouldn't have to rethink it each time. Remember, I'm normally not a do-it-yourself guy. This is the best way that worked for me. This is simply a closeup... Continue Reading →
I thought I would share something that didn't seem to obvious to me at first until I realized that virtually every other social media outlet works this way. If you want to "like" my posts you'll have to create some credentials and sign in to WordPress. You don't have to do anything else other than... Continue Reading →
January 25, 2020 The cross-members for the leg support are done. https://youtu.be/Q13a0hXP1rg Just a quick overview of the frame so far. Time to start adding some legs! https://youtu.be/VC2w2qO0yWI One leg complete!
