Mike Y Posted September 8, 2018 #1411 Posted September 8, 2018 Congratulations! It is incredible, and it is very handy that you can actually see both sides with a mirror! It was a pleasure to follow the journey, looking forward to the next one.

tlevine Posted October 18, 2018 Author #1412 Posted October 18, 2018 I have finished the base. I am not totally satisfied with it but it will do for the time being. The base is marble and the edges were roughened up. The pedestals are turned from pear and drilled to accept a threaded rod which screws into a captive nut in the keelson. Thanks everyone for following this five year epic journey.
