THE INQUISITOR HER ASSISTANT AND THE UPHOLSTERS WIFE chocolate slab coffee table

The first project the workshop ladies tackled was to learn how I

use stain over my signature white paint.

and then how to finish the wood top with the same stain.

The table was finished in a typical medium wood color with a glossy finish.

(NO BEFORE PHOTO)

I started with showing them how to degloss the wood legs and apron to accept

primer and eventually paint.

The questions flowed easily for everyone especially Danielle.

Her good friend Nikki was so eager to get supplies at the end of the day

she was ready to drive off and leave Danielle behind.

We went over mixing and straining primer and paint thru for the sprayer.

Everyone got a chance to hold the spray gun and give it a try.

My experience running crews of 20 workers all the way down to a single

assistant is quite extensive however Ive never come across a group that

meshed so quickly and used each other so supportively.

They got to feel how wax can help move the stain around once it starts to set.

Kelley got right in where I left off doing a fabulous job.

A few ladies even tried the belt sander when we first started to strip the table top.

We still had to get to a drawer repair, changing out hardware, including spray painting it

and using wood filler so we had to keep moving on so I would get to finish this coffee table later.

That evening I sanded the edge of the top and stained it.

I started applying the wipe on poly the next day.

Sanding with 400 grit between many many coats.

This is how it look when you sand with 400 grit.

A very white chalky dust.

Once I got the thickness I wanted one last sanding before waxing.

The final coat of wax adds a soft warm feel to the finish.

what kind of steel base can i have on my slab top table

invariably, after the question how much does a slab top table cost?, the next question is, are there other kinds of table bases i should consider? there are. the legs shown above are our most popular style. based on a shaker design, below, they are cut (wastefully, i admit), from a slab of 1.5" thick steel on a waterjet, at a local steel fabricators shop. the process is extremely accurate, but slow going through the thick, solid steel, so the individual cut pieces are expensive even before we grind, polish, drill, tap and assemble them. they are beautiful though, and extremely rigid, and give the heavy slabs a lighter, sort of floating, familiar, yet contemporary look. click the photos to enlarge them.

each section consists of the main vertical, a 10" wing for stability and a 2.375 x .375 bar to tie the whole thing together. we offer natural, top and below, rainbow, a dark browny, bronzy, patina, and black. these finishes are then top coated to stabilize them.

we can also easily alter their shape as our cnc uses the same programming as the waterjet. if you can draw it, they can probably cut it.

a flattened version for a smaller table

we also offer fabricated metal bases in a variety of styles. above and below are our trapezoid bases. also offered in various finishes, they can be fabricated in any size and can accommodate a design change to allow for a drawer.

more information on this piece at this link.

with the square or rectangular tubing, we can offer a variety of shapes, including squares and xs, shown below. these bases can be polished and patinated, or left more or less as is, like above, for a sort of industrial look.

the restaurant tables below we re fun. randomly space 5/8ths rebar was welded between two steel plates, randomly painted and randomly rusted. given that these were 42" high, tghey were bolted to the wood floor, but shortened to traditional dining table height, im sure they would make for an interesting look.

we also use plasma cut tapered legs on some of our dining and console tables.

or, our bridges base could also be adapted somehow to a larger, taller scale table.

then we have the wood and steel combinations ...

the nakashima inspired welded steel bases ...

coffee tables ...

and your imagination .. were open and happy to discuss your designs, either for a slab top you already own, or for a whole table we can design and build for you. in general, prices for custom steel bases start around $1000. for the welded tubing designs and go up to $3500. to $4000. for the waterjet cut, thick, patinated steel bases.
