I'm thinking coffee table base.

As the title says I'm thinking of making a table base out of this. Was thinking of a live edge slab top. Opinions anyone ?

Go for it!

 

Gee thanks, haha !!
Crazy thing is..... My wife went for it !!! It's small, actually the same length of our current table. Actually I can make it any size want. It's stable, easy to move, easily fits in my blast cabinet and made in Wisconsin by real beer drinking welders.

 

Not sure eclectic quite covers it................
If it's what you want, go for it. Should be a nice convo starter.

 

sounds like he will enjoy the back story to the machine while drinking beer from the new top.

If that works, go for it.

 

I believe that would be to large of a diameter. I could rabbet out a rectangle although. Hadn't thought about needing or wanting to look down at it though.
People always hang saws, axes and such on the wall so I thought it would be different. And due to it's size it's about as useful as @#@'s on a bull so this would give it purpose.

 

How about a patio table instead.

 

Interesting hadn't thought of that. I went for the coffee table idea because I was given permission to hang a chainsaw from the beam ceiling (still haven't picked one yet). That and the finishing rack gives it a cabiny look. We only heat with wood so..

Although when I mentioned to her "chainsaw lamps" I might have gone to far.....

 

Build a block coming down from the table top, then use the ram/wedge to pinch it in order to fasten the top to the splitter.

 

Thanks for the input ! I could make another rod threading just what I need at the cylinder end in order to clamp the top. Since no fluid will be in it, maybe some blasting media.....

 

You could drill and tap the cylinder for a set screw to hold the rod in position. You could probably force the rod forward with compressed air instead of fluid until you tighten the set screw.... Wouldn't get a lot of pressure with air though

 

Hey that's me!!!

 

Interesting since I am planning on piping the house with compressed air anyway...... Let's see.. interchangeable table tops, helluva nutcracker, sausage/jerky press, kindling.....

 

Ever hear of Custom Welding in Clinton wi. ? That's who made it. Musta been for Toys R Us ...

 

I'm not sure how well the seals would stand up to multiple doses of compressed air (might be fine, dunno?). I can honestly say I've never once thought about having compressed air in my house.

 

Compressed air, clean and
dry is awesome at cleaning a house. First we clean as best as we can. Then I put a 5 HP electric air cannon in the main doorway pressurizing and 4 supervac fans located throughout for turbulence. All windows open..... BLOW like crazy, everything that can take it ceiling, under bed, bathroom fans.
Keep going until you see nothing coming out.
If you think I'm nuts detail your vehicle then CAREFULLY air hose it with a fan behind you and see what appears.
