If you've ever looked for a decent table- meaning, one with style while still maintaining it's durability- you'd know that a decent table costs a pretty penny. And you can never find EXACTLY what you want.
It's like shopping for a couch. You find one with a tufted back, but it doesn't come in the right color. And then you find one in the right color, but it's the wrong fabric and your dog's nails will create pulls. Besides, it has a tufted seat, which reminds you of the many times you sat on your old couch with open pens in your back pocket and they bled all over the couch. It will just NEVER turn out well, and if you want something done right? Do it yourself.
1) The kind people over at Taconic Design Group in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn rented me use of their shop for a morning to cut up raw material for the table frames.
2) I spent a few days up in Warwick, NY- about a hundred miles NW of New York City- which is really the longest amount of time I could spend up there, being a city bird and all. The purpose? A welder and a barn to fabricate the tables in peace & quiet!
Me!
Table parts.
Table leg.
Finished table frame.
