I am not sure if it is appropriate or if this is right place, but wanted to share my latest project.  I enjoyed it and learned a lot.  I sort of kept a log of what I considered the more interesting aspects of the project and posted them on my web site (listed below).

Photos of the finished project are at the end of the description, please do not mistake my work with that of the original which is shown at the beginning for reference purposes.

I gave a talk at the Carolina recent meeting on the reeding of the tappered legs.  I owe any success of my efforts on reeding these legs to Al Breed for explaining how to go about it.  And if you do not like it, well, blame me for not executing properly, because Al is a great instructor.

Thanks and I hope you enjoy looking at the pics and web site,

Ken

Ken, I guess I missed this before. That's a beautiful table and the craftsmanship looks first rate. I also appreciate you showing how you did some of the various procedures.

Hi ken, I just saw this.You are such a good worker.You are too modest but I understand.I'm sure Al would be proud of your work.
 
I'm not a big fan of this style of furniture, but WOW.  You did an amazing job!  I'll have to pull out Mussey's book and take another look.

The web site with the write-up is great too!
 
Hi Ken- Thanks for the mention about the leg reeding. The big secret is that it's  not hard to do.....

Nice job on the table, It looks really good.

Some guys want me to teach a class on a serpentine sided one this Fall. I'm trying to figure out a time. Anyone who's interested let me know, we've got 4 guys already and could take 4 more max.

Again, nice table!-Al
