project nightmare build-up

Lookin Good! I love seeing custom frame buildups like this. How do you feel about the wood table? I was up in the air when I started to build my frame about building a wood table or spending the money to build a steel one. It's nice to be able to tack to a steel top, but with the price of steel these days, a wooden one is tempting. Hmmmm.

well i wish i would have made it a little taller other that i think the wood one works just fine. i thought building a steel one but like you said the price of steel it was just not worth it to me. plus i'm need really going to be building a lot of frame so there was just no long term reason to build a steel one
