Love this thread, and this table. Quick story...
https://twitter.com/jason_a_w/status/1346514724410646528
When I was in my early twenties, I had a temp office job for a publishing company that had just moved into new offices in lower Manhattan.
Right before they'd moved in, a basement storage room my division was using had flooded, and my boss decided a good way to guard against the recurrence by having a huge shed built. In the basement. Of the office building. In lower Manhattan.
Reader, I built the shed.
I'd done some carpentry work before, and I knew my way around power tools, but I'd never built a building-type structure before.
My main concern was that it not fall down. So I built it hell for stout, as my dad used to say, in every way I knew how.
There’s an aesthetic to hell for stout, and that table is all over it. I like to think my shed had a whiff of it too.
