Either way, I'm impressed that you got such a good glue up at that scale. And that you add some glue to pins that will probably never come loose.

But building it outside would definitely be less than ideal.<br /><br />There were still a couple of places where the top wasn't 100% level, but I was positively surprised at the outcome.<br />The problem is that it is difficult to joint such long boards on the sides, because you need somewhere to mount them.<br /><br />Perhaps I should build a "skottbenk" https://skottbenk.com/2018/04/29/kva-er-det-med-skottbenken/<br /><br />Another advantage of building one of those is that you are accepted as a member of the Norwegian Skottbenk Union!<br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-53383085617902378482018-05-06T11:15:58.572-07:002018-05-06T11:15:58.572-07:00That thing is huge.

I'm thinking of building a table in my Munich woodshop sooner or later, and haven't worked out all the logistics yet. I'm thinking if I built something as big as yours I'd have to do it outside. Not ideal.<br /><br />Nice job with the glue-up. I've yet to have a tabletop glue up turn out as nice as you did here.

At least in our family, so a smaller version is not necessarily a bad thing :-)<br />I actually thought about using cargo securing straps, but it worked fine with adding two clamps together to work as one. <br />My need for that long clamps maybe arises once every four or five years, so most of the time I would just be moving them around and cursing over that they take up permanent space.<br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-15649043680463982122018-05-06T07:38:53.337-07:002018-05-06T07:38:53.337-07:00Very nice table.

I didn't build it, I am not equipped to make dovetail sliding rails (nor do I have the skills). But it can be bought: https://www.osbornewood.com/table-slides.aspx<br /><br /><br />As regard 'I have only two clamps that will span 48" ', did you consider using "Spanish windlasses". You can exercise a lot of pressure with them. You have to protect the edges of the board otherwise they will be marred.<br />SylvainSylvainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06334251598652872682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-20001162926217071842018-05-06T05:52:11.317-07:002018-05-06T05:52:11.317-07:00Hi Ken
Thanks for the nice comment.
You nailed it...Hi Ken<br /><br />Thanks for the nice comment.<br />You nailed it pretty accurate with the reason for the hay rake. I just like the look of it, and it gives a visual interest in the base of a table that I often don't see. <br /><br />A lot of rustic looking farm house tables in Denmark have a nice looking top and then all is messed up because of a strange base. Either some welded legs or a much too large and bulky looking X at each end etc.<br /><br />It is not the easiest base/frame to build, but I like a challenge as much as most woodworkers, so that is also a reason to do it.<br /><br />A funny thing is that a lot of non woodworkers find the base interesting, which is not that common if you have a more regular styled base. Not that I build to attract attention from others, but it is nice when people comments on something like that.<br /><br />The table can easily be made a bit more delicate without loosing the ruggedness. My top ended i being 10' x 4', so that is why I scaled up the base to a beefier look.<br /><br />I think that Barnsley originally wanted to return to the form/function with this table, so that is why it isn't decorated, but merely chamfered to remove weight where it wouldn't compromise strength.<br /><br />I have followed pretty close in the footsteps of Don Weber in this build.<br />https://www.popularwoodworking.com/projects/the-barnsley-hay-rake-table<br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-33101790005898506942018-05-06T04:52:18.940-07:002018-05-06T04:52:18.940-07:00Jonas,
