Current upgrades to a gold crown one

[Ron Padilla]

I have had to take my time putting this table together since picking it up in P A and hauling back to Tennessee. After I spoke with Glen I decided I would do the gusset route for supporting the aprons! Now I say for certain that some would say that a GC1 wouldn’t need to be gusseted and some would say you should and other might say (Aw what could it hurt) so here is the route I took

. Now it is kind of hard to see but I have the bearing plates under each foot of the table as I am still making the nail pad for the feet. You will also see where I have added 1/4 thick 4x4 angle iron 3 inch wide gussets where the slate will join together. This is done on both sides of the apron and so far on one end. Hope this might help some in trying to figure a good way to help prevent apron and slate sag!!

Today I added the multi nail pad for the feet it is 3/4 plywood covers with some very tuff rubber rounds in the one photo what you will be looking at is all the nails driven into the plywood

nail pad for the feet

Thank you for posting pics. What is the purpose of the nail pad? Thanks.

So that it won’t leave a foot print in the carpet

Wow, I get it now. Sort of like walking on a bed of nails.
I’m not sure that it will work but who knows.

My table will stay in its same location so I don’t worry about the carpet

King Cobra is the one who gave me the idea! So I don't think mine is the first to have these under the feet to not leave a mark

Ron, thanks for the reply. Seems like a good idea. By the time my table needs to moved the carpet will need replacing anyways lol. Please keep documenting the work you do to your table.
Thanks.
