Bench tops, table top and an interrupting conference

 I finished the glue-up of both bench tops. Beautiful, huh?

I had to go back to the raw pile for more wood for the table top. Here I am free-handing a really big piece of lumber.

I finally got the table top all ready to glue up. I plan to glue one edge at a time, so I can make sure every junction is perfectly square. I got the first glue-up done (woohoo!) but then I had to leave for a conference in beautiful Zurich, Switzerland. It was a great conference in a wonderful little city, but I admit I did do some pining for the table. Anyhow, here are some pictures of Zurich.

But now I'm back and ready to get going on the table again! In the next post you'll see the table top!
