Will the sessions solution break how seasons are currently implemented?
December 9, 2024 at 12:55 PM
I like this idea. Manually refreshing sessions is a small pain to think about and abstracting it away is nice.

I might also suggest having lower level primitives that don’t do any automatic behavior, as an escape hatch if people want to build something completely custom.

Haha. I would totally do commissions but a 300 lbs table would be a bitch to transport.

When AI takes my job maybe this will be the next thing 🤔

Thank you Vlad!

After letting everything dry and cure overnight the table is now complete!

Thank you. Yes, it feels really good to make something like this that I know will out live me.

Moved the table inside for final finishing. The top alone weighed almost 250 lbs!

Set up the top on saw horses to paint the legs and base and finished the top with a natural stain and briwax.

Yes. I’m in the Hudson Valley in upstate NY. Luckily it doesn’t usually get too humid here in the summer and the table will be inside an air conditioned house.

Thanks for sharing your expertise. I just did a deep dive on how to use cleats instead of bolting the top to the base. Really good info.

Ah thanks. I didn’t know this! Unfortunately, I already bolted and glued the frame down 😬 Hopefully I don’t get too much expansion. Anything else I can do here besides hope for the best?

Thanks!

The legs and frame will be painted black. The top will remain natural-ish with a very light stain and wax finish.

Frame is now attached to the table top. Caulked up the joints and filled in any screw holes and large gashes on the legs. Gave it a nice initial sanding.

We’re ready for paint and stain now.

More table updates:

Got the legs sanded and bolted to the frame. I also dry fit the legs and frame to make sure things were feeling stable and the height felt good with a chair.

Table updates:

The frame is now glued and screwed together.

Next step is to drill holes through the angled corner joints and install the leg bolts.

Here’s where I’m at right now. I’ll post more as I make more progress.

Designing with wood is really fun!

I copied the framing idea from our existing dining table and just sort of scaled it up. I hope it works!

I got a local lumber mill to mill a slab of maple for the top, the legs are salvaged from an old busted table we bought last year.

I’m def top 5 in my area.

I hate that you moved to Philly like 3 months after I moved away.

Building it with Swift/Swift UI, so it should work? I'm pretty new to macOS development, so I'm not sure if there are gotchas there.

Did a bunch of hacking last night and now have embeds on the timeline view working. Progress 💪
