The Table

Conceived by elite designer/artist, Jami Larsen.
This table has heavy loads of form, function, and raw industry.





The idea came from the chopping block, but with a removable, adjustable, steel base.

We started with laying out the 2"x3" boards, and preparing them for our threaded rod. Carefully measured up and drilled out 105 holes, all in line.

We ran 3/16" allthread through, and capped the ends with SS washers and Nyloc nuts.









After snugging the top down, we took it down to Tom Anderson at Creative Openings http://www.creativeopenings.com/, where he threw it in his massive planer and squared it off.



We wanted adjustability.
Something you could sit down with your laptop, or sit ten people around it for turkey dinner.
Raise it, lower it, whatever.
 
So we made it long, narrow, and gave it over 4" of adjustable height travel with these feet...
 


 That screw into the bottoms of these legs... 
 
 

Pretty ideal for standing, sitting, or just leveling out uneven floors.


 

Moving the table in and out of places was sure to be a pain at 8' long, so making it modular was key. All of the legs are attached by four 3/8" studs, nuts, and lock-washers, so just pop the legs off with a 9/16" wrench and take it anywhere.
(Anywhere you want a badass eight foot long adjustable height table)
 

 
We are considering making a few more of these tables, if you'd like one for your home or business please shoot us a message and we'll set you right up.
We left this table raw, but there are multiple finishes, colors, and protectants available for both the wood and metal, so a custom look is certainly achievable.
