I was able to finish the big table base today, just in time for the client to visit the shop and see it! He was happy with the piece and is excited to have the tables delivered. He checked out all the other things I do, and it was a lot of fun to meet and come to know him. After he left, I went to work on the smaller table bases. Here are some more pictures!

These are the brackets for the foot rail! They are welded in place to attach the foot rail around the table base.
All brackets welded in place.
Here is a corner post with the two brackets welded in place.

The foot rail welded to the brackets, and the big one is done!
