Unusual 'Floating' Table

I can only ehco others, superb!! I really like your elegant solution and the location against those doors would make for a lovely evening meal

One thing that interests me is the coating on the poles. You say that it is compliant and so squashed a little by your clamp, I wondered if it is going to 'sag' a little over time and let the table (heavy) tilt out of square? I guess that if the clamps are very tight, then the material on the pole is squashed really hard and this is not a problem

Veeeerrryy interlesting point!

Don't know the answer to that. Time will tell.

The two flanges on the steelwork are still about 10mm apart so should be plenty of room for a bit more tightening if needed.

The material looked like some sort of epoxy with a granular filler, hard but not that hard. The frame has 'eaten/pulled' into it a bit so there is a small ridge at bottom of frame 'supporting' itself.

When we tightened it up we REALLY tightened it up! they are 3/4" bolts!

I had no idea people were so interested in this, very pleasant.
