My Dad's been building a patio table for Kaisara & I for over a year now. It's actually been finished for a couple months but we had to borrow a truck to get from Dad's garage to our patio. Beautiful isn't it? The base is polished stainless steel, the table top & seats are red wood. He didn't put a seat on one of the ends so that my sis can pull up to it in her wheelchair. He thinks of everything!
He turned the removable lamp that plugs directly into the top on his lathe. It's crazy heavy. It's made from brass, copper &, of course, stainless steal.
He had his good friend & carpenter, Jay Shanor, make a gorgeous storage box for the lamp when it's not in the table. Daddy even put adjustable Teflon feel on the bottom of the legs so it sits level on our slanted patio slab. GENIUS!
My Dad is so talented. I envy the patience he has when working on a project. He is very meticulous & detailed. If I'm not finished with a project within a few weeks, MAYBE months, it's never gettin' done, friends!
Though you'll never even see this blog: thank you Daddy from the bottom of my heart! I will cherish this beautiful table always!
