Well I've recieved some e-mails and a heads-up on a post over at Wood.net, so I thought it best to fill us in on where we are with Carlo's table.
We're moving along quite well. Of course video will surely follow.
Although I wish I could, I cannot work exclusively on our Mollino and it's a piece that has an exceptional story.
When Gigi and I have completed this next step, you will find that like Carlo, this piece takes you out of your woodworkers comfort zone and demands you be a "mechanic". This is a very important aspect to this build; a topic rarely discussed and one we cannot leave out.
As we discussed Carlo Mollino earlier in our episodes, this build is not about experimenting, but experiencing, and I am having a blast building this piece. The lines that emerge and the site lines that are created are sinuously beautiful. Carlo's table is not your father's Oldsmobile.
There are many ways which I have mentioned in video that this build could be completed, but to me its a 1957 Cadillac convertible, long in chrome.
I'm not going anywhere and to quote Fred Astaire, "It takes time to create something memorable".
Meet you at the saw........Neil

Sweet Neil! I love that you are making this piece your own. Nice lines; the "rear" flip curve is really beautiful. Can't wait to see the video..

Fantastic Neil,
But I'm not sure if this "update" isn't really more of a suspenseful teaser! You will sure have us all checkin' back daily after this.
I'm not sure where you are going with this now, but I love it, and can't wait to see the next video!us
Niel--looks fantastic. Were the holes in the original plan or are they a late addition? I like time in either case. Thanx for sharing and keep up the great work.
I'm loving it Neil!!
This table is really looking great, I specifically like the double wave thing going on. Its been very interesting to see where you are going with this.
Take care, keep up the good work.
