A little bit of work Friday night. I trimmed one corner of the lower Aprons to match (it was about 1/8 inch off by using a hand plane.
Next the 8 end caps were cut and sized. These will go in the corners of the top and bottom aprons to dress things up a bit and attempt to make the table nicer than it really is.
Here's a picture of an end cap in place
Some finish testing - I'm not sure I like any of them at the moment. One plus of shaping the end caps is that I ended up with a nice supply of "large bases" for big units like artillery trains.
Saturday will be dedicated to adding the "L" braces for support, installing the temporary plywood tops and building a few accessory trays.
The table will get used in it's first game next Thursday so I need to get moving.
You really are a clever and industrious chap aren't you Miles!
