Thanks to Robert & Robert of Positive Tangents. Months and months and months ago, we need to get a very dangerous, very heavy guillotine cutter out of our shop. It had a broken safety, and people kept sticking their hands in it. Anyhow, we posted it free to a good home on Craigslist. Robert Kriesgen wanted it for art unlike all the scrap metal dealers who contacted us. He said if we ever needed some carpentry work in trade - let him know. We called last week, and he and his partner Robert showed up with an entire wood shop today. I hear the nail gun next door right now. We found these doors in the alley behind my house, and now they're tables. They even brought us a book - The Complete Guide to Wood Finishes - to show us how to use epoxy to flatten out the surface of the table. Went to a salvage store to find interesting newel posts for legs for the table. Really amazing - Robert K. said he believes what goes around comes around. In their case I hope it's true. Actually, in several cases I hope it's true, but in their case it would be good things : ). rkiesg@positivetangents.com Good stuff.
Great tables! Thanks for the class last night - I'm hooked on paste papers. I posted my photos from our class here:
