01 - Following lots of research and planning, a large sheet of aluminium is fixed to the circular wooden table. Also a steel band is fixed to its outer edge.
02 - After careful markings are made, the long endeavour of adding the many thousands of "nails" are added through the aluminium and into the wood. This was spread over several sessions to ease the task! As I have a small section of original floor-plate (100mmx100mm) I was able to use this as a pattern-guide.
03 - The underneath of the table, with extra supports added.
