Legs and apron, pieces cut and milled.
Basic Framework
August 13,2015
Interior Blocking and Drawers are set. Outer Face Frame is fabricated and glued to top of the table.
After many steps- The Chess/Checkerboard is coming together.
Theboard should be laid out so that the lower right corner has the light square. In our design I have this set so the board will be played from the "short" sides of the table- or the "Drawer" sides.
Board is glued up and next the surroundings veneered panels are glued together.
Here the board is aid out according to original plan-To be played from "short" or "drawer" side.
Here the board is rotated 90 degrees to be played from the "long" or "Not drawer" side
Top playing surface gets a temporary boarder and the first coat of finish is poured.
I made these leveling inserts. 1/2" bolts drilled and tapped for 3/8 Bolts to level the top.
I made these leveling inserts. 1/2" bolts drilled and tapped for 3/8 Bolts to level the top.
The leveling inserts were epoxied into the corner blocks. The 3/8 Bolts can be adjusted with a screwdriver to level the top.
The inside playing surface (still to felt coated) fits around the leveling bolts.
The top will then sit flush with the outer framework.
I made these threaded inserts and these Brass Leveling Pads
A threaded insert is epoxied into the bottom of each leg.
Then a leveling pad is screwed into the insert.
