Learning from my mistakes


In the Fall of 2005 I built an art easel for my step-daughter, the process is featured in in the slide show on the side of the blog. The table of the easel split, due to an engineering error; I did not allow for proper expansion and contraction of the table. To remedy this problem, I have removed the table and will widen the holes that the screw passed through so that they become shaped like a slot. the split will be filled with clear epoxy and planed flat once again. Then when re-assembled the table will be able to flex, preventing a further splitting.
