wood topped glass table
I was asked to put a wood table top on a large glass jar. This is a neat
trick, or at least it was for me. If you are interested the steps are over at http://aroundthewoods.com/bottletable.html ______ God bless and safe turning Darrell Feltmate Truro, NS, Canada www.aroundthewoods.com |

Hi Darrell
Glass bottle you say, carboy we call them, 54 liter, I have a couple, quite fragile, and mine are full with grape juice, just bubbling away. Nice job, but FRAGILE.

But the carboys I remember from childhood had a pretty thick wall and seemed to take a fair amount of punishment, as they were used over and over. This was in Scotland, so maybe the word applies to differnet types of glass container. |

Never question a customer's taste, just your own, I say. With the bottled water boom discovering plastic, ought to be a few glass bottles for those who want 'em. Tradition has the cleat running cross-grain, as you know, to help keep the top flat. Slotted places for the screws to accommodate movement. Yours looks like it runs along the grain. Looks like white ash, or is your local black fairly light in color? |

Thanks Leo.
Like Lobby says, this thing is pretty solid. I have no idea how old but it has been around for a while and seems to have taken a few knocks and survived. ______ God bless and safe turning Darrell Feltmate Truro, NS, Canada www.aroundthewoods.com wrote in message oups.com...

Thanks George.
I was thinking of putting the top cross grain but most movement will be along it so I slotted the screw holes and put it length wise. This is a one piece top and well dried so I think it will be all right. I think this is white ash. The color here varies quite a bit and some of the black is fairly pale. ______ God bless and safe turning Darrell Feltmate Truro, NS, Canada www.aroundthewoods.com "George" wrote in message t...

Hi Guys
I guess this might be another case of "economics" as in the way they used to be and the way they are now, the carboys I have are almost paper thin and hand blown, one is slightly thicker than the other one. The first one I got from an older man that was unable to any longer handle the large bulky bottle, and the last one I bought from an Portuguese store that gets it's olive oil in bulk in those bottles, and it is very thin. Trying to remember now, I'm quite sure that the carboys we used to get, with battery acid or distilled water in them, were a lot thicker than the ones I have now, funny I didn't think of that before. And yes those would be a lot stronger, but still glass.

Fingers and brain disconnect on previous post.. Sorry
If that were mine. Darrell, I'd be really tempted to take out my router and cut a not to conspicuous narrow slot in the center of the table and use jar as a giant coin bank.

Jim
In Canada our coins go up to $2.00 each. That would be an expensive bottle. ______ God bless and safe turning Darrell Feltmate Truro, NS, Canada www.aroundthewoods.com "Jim Hall" wrote in message news:Cf9Vg.3102$ef2.2350@fed1read09...

Ha.. Would have no problem in the states filling one up in no time with
pennies. There about as close to worthless as you can get. Many people won't even bend over to pick them up if they drop one. I heard they cost more to make than they're worth. Kind of a nuisance in your pocket. I'm always looking to get rid of them, guess I need to find me one of those green jugs.. grin Well ok, then.. Maybe there's something else in Nova Scotia that's small, collectable and easy to find.. Sea shells..? "Darrell Feltmate" wrote in message news:6xbVg.2905$H7.621@edtnps82...
