Fixed Drying Table


Unfortunately another project which needed repairs, this time it was the gale force winds which put pay to the sturdiness. I increased strength by increasing the size of the mortise joints by an inch on each. I broke one of grand ads chisels in the processes snapping the metal after getting it stuck too deep, and got a cut for my troubles which is standard, the joints aren't exactly flush but there holding so far. Since its creation there was always a surface area limitation which I wanted to address so the collapse of the original was a opportunity for innovation not to be missed. The fold out extension has clips to hold the struts out of the way from the old boiler in my room which is being redecorated. Big jobs in the pipeline, mainly surfboard, bench and wine rack.
