1st pic post (I hope!)

[Jerry Ingraham]

Thanks to a thread below in which Alan Turner mentioned a free photo resizer I think I can finally post some pic's. This is a pic of my first commission, a walnut extension table. It was a barter transaction in which the customer ordered and I received a 1023s table saw. I have not even unpacked it yet as I just new that would delay the completion of the table! Tyler, please be patient and I'll post those pic's soon. I also will post the completed project pic's tomorrow as I'm rubbing out the finish and delivering the table tomorrow. That being said, man I hope this works!

I can hardly wait to see it finished. Love walnut. How many leaves for the table? It looks like it could seat 10. Nice work!

[Jerry Ingraham]

It actually isn't that big, he has a specific spot for it and gave me the dimensions he wanted 36x60 with two 11" leaves for an open size of 36x82. It is a little odd but it suits him and that suits me!

Jerry,
Love the Walnut and am looking forward to seeing the finished piece.

Look another person who doesn't have a clamp rack.
Oh nice table

[Dick Parr]

Very nice Jerry. I love working with walnut. The table looks great.

[Alan Turner]

Jerry,
A nice looking and very strightforward table, well executed. Looks like about $150 of walnut, plus the hdw, etc., so say $225 cost . . . You might think about raising your prices a bit, unless your "client" was a pretty good friend. There is a minimum wage, you know.
Someone turned me on to pixresizer, and the price was right. Glad you like it.

Jerry, I'm glad that you got the picture thing down because I really want to see that beautiful table with a finish on it!

Nice work!

[Steve Clardy]

Jerry. Sure glad you got the pic thing down as ol' Tyler and Chris would be on ya HARD!!!:eek:


Thats one fine table there also. Be sure and give us the finished photos also. I love walnut, my favorite.
BTW, where did you purchase your slides? Cost?

Steve:)

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Jerry...nice table! Can't wait to see the finished project! It amazes me how people scramble to keep Chris and Tyler off their backs!

[Todd Burch]

So Jerry - do you not have a TS, or are you upgrading?

Table looks good. 30" tall? Homemade wooden slides or purchased? What are you finishing it with?

[Sparky Paessler]

Great looking table! Just love working with walnut. What kind of finish are you going to be using on it?

[Jason Tuinstra]

Jerry, glad to see you got the picture thing worked out. The table looks very nice. You did a nice job of matching that walnut. Do you have to make the chairs as well? Thanks for sharing.

[Larry Crim]

Can't wait to see the finished product, love the grain in walnut. I'm a Wal nut.

I would make everytning out of it but the wife is partial to lighter woods.

[Donnie Raines]

Looks like some really nice Walnut there! Looking forward to the finished product.

[Frank Pellow]

Looking good. I too, love working with walnut.

[Don Abele]

Jerry, beautiful table. I love the walnut. I am just finishing up a new kitchen table that is made from maple and walnut. Be sure to post pics of the finished piece.

Be well,

Doc

[Jerry Ingraham]

All done. Here is the rundown and thank you all for your kind words. Hope I answer everyone's questions here. It is 36"wx60"lx30"h with two 11" leaves for a total 82". The leaves self store underneath on brackets that hang from the slides. It's a tung oil finish with satin spar urethane. The slides are from LV at about $50.00. I underbid it when I bartered for a brand new 1023s but it's my first commission and I'm hoping for more business and referrals. I do own a 15 yr old craftsman saw but wanted to upgrade to a cabinet saw. I'm thinking of saving the craftsman for dedicated dadoing and coupling the two saws with a table board with router undermount (which is my current setup) so I can use the fence for all three. Now to unpack that saw....

[Michael Stafford]

Jerry it is great. The clean lines and beautiful wood choices make it a very attractive piece. I guess it will seat 8? Very nice job! When do you start on the matching chairs, sideboard, china hutch... You get all that done and you will have a complete shop full of new tools. :p

[Steve Clardy]

Looks fantastic.:D

As for keeping your old saw, I would. I made a mistake by selling my old saw when I purchased my 1023S in 1994. Sure would be handy to keep the dado blade on. But---its gone.:rolleyes:

God, walnut is so pretty! Awesome job...awesome job!

[Jerry Olexa]

Nice job, Jerry and the wood finishing and final look is awesome!
