Felix I hope you heal quickly.

I didn't see the blood but,

I'm vicariously fainting through you Felix

Ouch. Sorry to hear about your mishap, Vehve. Furniture making shouldn't be an exercise in blood, sweat and tears. Heal quickly and git 'er done!

Here's how the coffee table turned out. I'm not completely sure about the lid though.

Well, that was interesting. I was sawing out the oak top for the coffee table I'm making, when my jigsaw got a bit stuck, and suddenly plunged free, resulting in an attempted defingeration. Now I got to see the inside of the local health centre. Luckily I had released the trigger by the time the blade hit my thumb, and the cut wasn't that deep. I went inside, grabbed something to stop the bleeding then walked to the neighbors (she's a nurse) and asked her to take a look at it. Then I started to almost pass out. She took me to the health centre, and an hour and three stitches later I now have a very numb thumb. The doc put 5ml of lidocaine into it, I don't know why they insist on using so much.

Glad you didn't lose any didgets. My dad is missing two. One from a fireworks incident in his youth and another from a table saw as an adult.

OMG I love it.... but you know? I was picturing the table top of the coffee table being concrete, not the base...

Deb, that was the original plan, but we had a suitable barrel for pouring, and we had some leftover oak counter top, so that's what we put together. I have a huge concrete table out on the terrace though.

Looks like it weighs A LOT.

Peep, about 56 kilos without the top, so that's about 115lbs.
