Victorian drum table

[gasman]

Finished tonight
Carefully cut the leather to size, mixed up some stiff wallpaper paste and pasted it together before rolling it flat
I am pleased with the final result - and I think Dad would have liked it too. Thanks to all the helpful comments.
Stuartpaul I had a look at your pedestal table thread today for the first time - don't know how I missed it before. I understand what you are saying about the strength - but I think mine will be OK. I loved your table and we even had the same triple beading router bit from Axi!
ANyway here are 2 shots of the final finished piece
Thanks for looking

Mark,

Looks the dogs!! Cracking bit of work, - reckon your Dad would be proud. Mine passed away last year and when I use some of his tools still get a lump in my throat. Having a piece of furniture like that is a great reminder.

I'd leave the drawer without hardwear, - it doesn't need it visually. Unless of course you need it to open the drawer!

Thanks ever so for the comments. I agree about the hardware - it is almost a 'secret drawer' without hardware as you have to look quite hard to see there is a drawer there. The missus is pleased, my mother is pleased, I am very happy and I think Dad up there is looking down saying 'not bad, son' - he had a very critical eye!
