After the base assembly is complete, I start working on the sliding mechanism that will carry the split top. I use maple for some of the parts, and walnut for the slides that will be attached to the table top when I complete it.
Although not very complex, it is a design that demands precision to work correctly.
As always, I welcome your questions and comments!
