Re: What would you do???
The rest of the table is quite plain,so I would not make a jack-a-lope out of it as someone else described it. If you are not going to keep it, i would sell it or give to some needy college student to use. I would sell it for at least the cost of poly and sand paper that you have used on it. Not a bad looking table for what it is. db -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Legacy Ornamental Mills group.

Re: What would you do???
Curtis,I was wondering who took my table out of the pile I put at the street JKThe table is a "simple" table (design-wise). I feel if you turn some "fancy" legs, you will make it like the "jack-a-lope" - too peculiar to be appreciated.My vote is to finish "refinishing" it and then either sell it via Craigslist (not eBay) or donate it to your local Salvation Army Store, Habitat for Humanity's "Re-store" or to the Red Cross or Goodwill. Definately - do NOT put it back in the trash. (If you don't want to do any of the above - it can be burned in your outdoor fireplace/chimea. Just keep it out of the landfill.) I have seen folks place items out at the curb with a sign that reads "FREE!". Some that do that even list it on CraigsList - under "Free Stuff" - as a "Curb Alert".Best of luck.Mac-Original Message- From: CURTIS GEORGESent: May 6, 2015 12:34 PM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: What would you do???

Re: What would you do???
Hi Curt The phrase “Who said put it back in the garbage?” was British humour at play or even work. I plead guilty to doing similar things from time to time. A few years back I salvaged a couple of alabaster table lamp base from the skip (UK version of a building site dumpster which costs about $300 a week to hire) and I was going to clean them up re-wire and then sell them and probably I would have made $100 to $150.00 on the pair, guess what they just went for re-cycling a week ago as we are moving house and my workshop is being cleared! The free wood value idea is the best given the astronomic rise in the price of wood. If it was me I would now sell it and realise a few bucks if I could, I would not spend time enhancing it unless that adds lots of dollars.

RE: What would you do???
If I was altering the legs I think I would do a really fast pitch like one turn for the length of the leg with many starts in a rope but it really is a personnel choice and there is heaps as you know Make a whole new leg from scrap to see what it will look like first then if you don’t like it leave them as they are and warm your self with the scrap leg or use the designer kit and do some life size drawings of legs and stick them to the legs to see what new ones will look like that’s why we have the design kits isn’t it. I always do that.
