Pop's Round Table - UP DATE





There once was a round dinner table that was used to feed the
 Elggren Family.
********
Like all good things in life. . . the "Kitchen Table" broke.  Pop converted it to a 15" tall "Coffee Table" to be used as a display in the front room.


The home it was built for was sold.  It was moved to it's new home in Layton.  (Also known as the Elggren Family). 

The dining room / coffee table once more "gave in" to the time and abuse it was given. 

Dismanteling of the table to reveal what Pop did many years ago to modify it from a kitchen table to the coffee table was a
 "head scratcher". 


Reinforcement was needed to stablize it for the next generation of kids.




Hours of thought and preparation went into accomplishing what needed to be done.


Help from Dustin and Payton were welcomed. 

A special plate was designed and screwed in place.



But most important. . . the finishing touch was put on by the
future generation.



The bottom was replaced. 


The table was flipped over and Poof!!!!



The table is ready for the kids to lean, sit and lay on it as the Papa and Grandma yell  "Get off the table".

I hope this update will allow it to move to at least one more generation.
