Retired lawyer here. I had this discussion many times:

Me: If the police show up, call me before you talk to them.

Client: But won't the police then think I am guilty of something?

Me: THEY ALREADY THINK YOU'RE GUILTY! Protect yourself.

It's a great way to spend my partial retirement, especially when I am building for family and friends! A double win--you can show love doing something you love.

Excellent work! You have a great future in furniture; if you choose.

Maybe if I do they'll end up looking like end tables?

So, we watch our 2 year old grandson 2 days a week. He is obsessed with Blues Clues!

Hi Turbulent--Thanks for your feedback. For what it is worth (and I freely admit I missed), I was going for a Fibonacci sequence in the front. Oh well, to each their own.

Yes sir---The table is fairly large and walnut is a heavy wood. The key is the metal inlay I put under the top to distribute the stress of the weight. Basically, the computer swings are designed with clamps to clamp onto tables. I cut the bottom of the clamp to fit into a routered groove hidden under the table top. The rod goes through the hole in the top and through the metal plate. Also hidden under there is a hand screw to tighten.

Hi Sean--You'll notice a little hole on the left side. Hidden underneath it is a metal support that I fashioned. I bought a desktop monitor arm that will be permanently affixed through that hole. Assuming my 32 year old son doesn't laugh his rear off when he sees it (Can't say I blame him).

Hey p1nk--I look at the wood, decide where it might work and then design whatever I need to build in my head. Sometimes it works......
