Looks excellent G. Good job!

I made the drawers and put the finish on the base and installed the top. Very different from the plain pine top table that we had for the last 30 years and needs some getting used to. But at least it is bigger what we wanted and has generous drawers for cutlery and other small stuff.

The two drawers are separated in the middle and go across the entire table. They can be pulled out from either side. I did not find suitable drawer slides to allow for that and let the drawers directly run between 2 sets (top and bottom) of skateboard ball bearings. Nice thing is they are completely invisible unless you look from below. The rubber stops in the middle prevent the drawers from being pulled out more than half.

Nice work G! Should have put some sear marks on those steaks.

[Burkhardt]

Thanks guys.....a little praise warms the heart

I suppose the sear marks will come over time. At least on the table we replaced there were many sear marks of hot pots we placed on there by mistake.
