Butterfly table update

I got the base and top of the table from my friend. The base parts are held together by dowels. The glue has pretty much stopped functioning and the base is rickety. More than one dowel was broken and the base was simply falling apart.

So, last night I started rapping on parts with a deadblow hammer in order to disassemble it. I will then strip the wood and reassemble with fresh glue and dowels. That should hold for many years to come.

I also "roughed-out" the butterflyu wing supports on the bandsaw. Will need to drum sand 1 wing to final profile, then use a pattern bit and router on the other for qan exact copy. After that, it will need stain, finish, and assembly. Nice little project.
