I have a dream.... Said Dalia

A few weeks back, Odi (aka Dad), was at the Lasser family. their neighbors had just moved out of the house, and there were the cars parking area, which have a wooden structure above it.

their gardener asked dad if he wants the wood there, for a small fee (aka desmentaling the construction), ofcourse. after a small negotiation, we got the wood, and he got the plastic cover of the roof. all sides were happy with this arangement. 
(I am not sure about the details, but don't let facts ruin a good story... But i am sure that "One man's garbage is another man's treasure").

So, today was the big day... actually yesterday and today, when Kushy (aka Kushy) came over and they both took the wood over to Uri's workshop in Yavne, making the legs, supports and everything needed for a day full of fun and "good wood IKEA table". So this is how they both started to work on "the dream" (aka the table).

"THEY" would be:
       Kushy and Dad...                                                                                        or Dad and Kushy
        










So they started off... well, at the begining.
Each one of them with his own tools and techniques. Both methods are almost the same. They both had to prepare the tools for work, and both showed high skills using them...

 








 









Comparing the two whould be like comparing snagging from a boat to tip-ups when fishing

I can't realy say which technique was better, but i can tell you one thing for sure..
You can't realy argue with results!















3.80 meters long over 1.30 meters wide


We still need to work on it, with some paint job, so we promise to update the blog at due time...

but if some wood brainiac would come over to Israel and give a few pointers over, let's say, a cold beer, that would be.......
a good operatunity to drink beer!

Ron is so modest.He dismentaled the cars parking with Oddi, and that was really hard work to do. And then he took part in all the construction .The wood is long, large and very heavy. Ron was the sidekick along the way. He reported as if he was a spectator. Thank you very much to the all team for making my dream come true.

beautiful!

i'm not a wood brainiac, but my one tip would be to not forget the bottom of the table when you sand it. so that when people sit by it their knees won't get scratched :)

I must say it is well designed, and even my knees don't touch the wood.
At the same time, the table is in a perfect hight to enjoy a big meatloaf.

Ooooh! It's gorgeous! I vote DON"T paint it. Just seal it with some wood preservative. The wood is too nice to cover with paint!

Sandy, for us painting wood means putting some paint on it, no matter for the outcome.

We plan so sand it a bit, and then put a layer of... well... you can call it wood preservative... some sort of oil based transparent color, so it will still look like a Templar table
