Changed your clocks?
Got myself a new project - converting an extending oak dining table into a bespoke, extending coffee table.
We've been looking for ages for a very large, affordable coffee table, but with no success. Then I had the bright idea to use a 2nd hand dining table and take down the legs. The fact it's extending and oak, to match our floor, is an added bonus. It also adheres to our upcycling ethos (that means cheap).
He were looking for something in the farmhouse dining table area, but they're impossible to find without paying a fortune and it would be a sin to convert something that's antique.

Hay is convinced it will and up with no legs, as I'm bound to take a bit too much off one leg and then go round compensating each leg in turn, ad infinitum until all the legs are 1mm in length. Hay calls it a Dick Emery table, as there was a Dick Emery sketch where he did exactly that to a billiard table to get it level, but I can't find a video of it.
I prefer to call it, when it's finished, a Cartesian Dualist coffee table - having a point of contact between the extended and the unextended.

Photos of the finished product will be available shortly - or perhaps a photo of the top with 1mm legs
