Been a while since the last post, and lots to talk about but I’ll focus on the little 516 side table again.
I decided to do two versions, the 516 and the new No. 517. The No. 517 is the same design as the 516 but has a more “muscular” look about it: legs are a bit larger, the wheelbase a bit wider and the top a bit longer. (In all it’s about 2” longer and 1/2” wider.) I like both versions which is why they’re both being offered.
Unfortunately, my camera has an electronics issue and needs a chip replaced. So when that’s done, I’ll post some proper photos of all the pieces. For now, I’m limited to iPhone photography which tends to distort perspective at close range. But I think you get an idea about the differences between the two versions in these photos. The photo above on the right is the No. 516 (with the 517 in the background). The photo below is the 517.
Now that we’ve had a break in the recent storms in the Southeast (some very near misses with tornadoes and wind damage so only some water on the shop floor), the shop needs a fall cleaning.
And I’m just finishing some new designs for a new adirondack chair and footrest so that will be the subject of my next post.
