William Morris Table Repost - Text Intro - Good work and a couple of comments
 

Correction -
I see the 180 mm measurement and how it relates.
Hope this gets through before the sharpshooters see
it. ;)



From a brief look at the table plans-

pdf looks great, jpg quality too low to really be useful.

Drawings show that you did a lot of good work converting
from picture, especially since the picture is at an angle.

On the 'actual size' part - some measurement is needed.
Output to printers varies so it would be trial and error to
match if made exactly, and a terror if scaled up or down
as you mention doing and some vendors show. The only
way I see to do it is to try to match up the short leg angles
shown and wing it from there.

The 'Scale 1:10 & 1:1' and 'See Other Sheet' are confusing.

Good work. Someone that likes this style can get lots of
good info from it.

Thanks for posting.

I have been drawing some plans to make a William Morris table taken from
photographs of a surviving piece. I haven't seen the piece so I can't be
totally certain that I have the overall dimensions correct but I am pretty
sure I have it close. I suppose it is possible that the original is 30"
high - a table you could sit at, but that would make the top 3" thick. I
have drawn it 18" high with a 2" thick top 36" in diameter which I think is
very likely how it is. A table for my house needs to be smaller still so I
will probably scale it down further and make it 24" diameter when I come to
build it. It appears to be made of clear knot free deal.
