As you may recall, my ext table was damaged in shipping. Grizzly of course shipped a new one and it arrived fine, but it was too late. My wheels had already begun to turn. I decided to build my own.
The going has been slow and I still have a ways to go, but I thought I would give everyone an up date.
I'm attaching a slide show link that will give some details. You can see it's far from perfect with a space here and there and a bit of tear out around some of the pins. Being a guitar builder primarily I've never done anything this big. You would think bigger is easier. I remain unconvinced.
All M/T joints except the top supports which are pinned bridle joints. The leg/sled M/T's are draw pinned and the through M/T's on the spreaders are wedged. Now comes the top... Maybe by spring.
enjoy...
