Nice work. What is the timber and finish.

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."

Thanks Grunt
I am a complete newbie at this digital picie business.
I followed Neils instructions as best I could and reduced it to 100mb using the HP program before posting but it seemed to reduce further.
I will follow your instructions for next time and hope I get it rightTom

They look nice, and solid. What joinery did you use? Also, what is the scale of the photo (maybe you could include a typically sized object like a cup to give a sense of scale?) I have a vague plan to make a set of these suitable to be eaten off while watching TV, for use as footstools, and to be sat on/stood on etc by four kids. Hence my interest in joinery.

I find the best way to resize images for posting or email is to use a free program from Microsoft called Image Resizer. Just go to their site and look under power toys. One installed, (takes about 10seconds) you just right click any picture or group of pictures and resize them. A typical digital photo of .5 meg will reduce in size to under 100kb on the medium setting while still maintaining a resonable picture size on the machine. It is by far the easiest way to resize pictures. Another bonus is that it actually makes a copy of the picture in the same folder and keeps the original intact.

The largest table top is 720mm at longest part of curve and 620mm at sides by 450mm wide. The frame is 620mm long. Overall height is 500mm.
The other tables were then reduced in size accordingly.
I cheated and used dowels for the joints as they are going to an adult only house. If I was making them for the use you mention I would use Mortise and Tenon joints for the main joints at least as they would then stand the use and abuse of children.

Thanks for that site - there seems to be some interesting 'toys'. I will give it a try for some photos.Tom

Ozbagpiper:
The photos have been lost during a recent update of the Forums and I no longer have a copy. The tables have long gone to a new home.Tom
