[QUOTE="Rayo56, post: 179624, member: 2022"]That is fantastically amazing - looks like the main post was a pattern for a casting from a foundry as it is not solid and the 2 halves (Cope/Drag) have dowel pins to be matched up to the holes. The metal apparatus my have been used to keep the 2 halves of the base together during the sand molding process! I'm thinking someone took the pattern and tried making it into a table as the legs look added. That so much looks like the way we used to glue up segments to make a roundish chunk of wood to be turned on the lathe to make a round pattern. You have to figure you ain't adding a table top to that the way the pics show![/QUOTE]
