Sadly, this tree was badly damaged by a hard freeze a few years ago, and was on the verge of falling over and taking the garage out with it. I am happy that this tree won’t be heading to the landfill, and I am looking forward to making things out of it in the years to come.

And they work!! 1/8" brass plate, 1" cold rolled steel bar, hand-turned brass knobs. All of the slide bolt hardware was fabricated here in the shop. The hinges were purchased, but needed a LOT of work before they were ready for prime time. /////////////////////////////////////////// Done and done!

Posted: 01 Sep 2015 08:50 AM PDT http://clarkatron.tumblr.com/post/128114333734 Breaking edges, softening details- the last few little things before the oil goes on. I love this part. The gap in the rule joint is where one of the steel drop-leaf stays will slide out from under the main section to support the leaf.
