Rhrocker Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Opps! Sorry, didn't mean to pull the photos in again. I'm learning, I'm learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Farrar Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 A beautiful example, both simple and elegant. What would one call the joint of the three legs/arms? I can see how to form it and how it works, just not what it is called. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkrankow Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 How secure is that joint to being moved around like small furniture typically is? That is elegant and very pretty. They selected a very interesting piece of wood for the table top. Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZIG Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 That's a interesting joint design. Thanks for showing us that. The wood is great too. Never saw a tenon made like that. Guess you would anchor, screw the top of the table to the iron. ??? Shouldn't That hold it in place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hofi Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 THE BASIC IDIA IS TO PUT THE TABLE APPART AND INSYOLE IN OTHER PLACE IF NEEDED. IN THE PHOTOS ONE DO NOT SEE THE FINISHED PRODUCE BUT THE QUESTION WAS ASKED AND HERE IS THE ANSWER. ON THE UPPER PART OF THE LEG A SMALL PLAT WITH A SLOT IS WELDED. ON THE WOODEN OLIVE PLAT TOP ON THE BOTTOM SIDE 3 GOOD WOOD SCREWS WITH A NICE HEAD ARE SCREWED IN TO A CERTAIN DEPTH ,THEN WHEN TUREN OVER THE WOODEN SCREWS HEAD IS GOING INTO THE SLOT AND THEN TURNING A BIT LIKE IN THE BAYONET SYSTEM ( like holding the lence in the camera ) THE TOP IS HOLDING THE WHOLE INSTLATION FRO FALLING APPART. NO NEED TO PUT A SCREW OR A PIN IN THE TENNON JOINT!!! HOPE THINGS ARE CLEAR FOR NOW HOFI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thingmaker3 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 We often hear "my grandfather was a smith" but how often do we hear "my grandfather taught me how to be a clever and artistic smith?" I congratulate you on your fine talented family, Uri! Truly they are your greatest work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscar C Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 very nice!..good looking piece of wood too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Larson Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Hofi, thanks for sharing. I really like the design and the color contrasts make for great conversation when guests see it. The wood slab almost floats in the air. When they see the iron work, they'll say more nice things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZIG Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Great explaination on how the top gets mounted. And a great idea too, by doing it That way. Nice lines, and love the tenon joint in the center. Truely learn something from all your post. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
