Turning the tables

Word got out that work on the new BAC tables would be continuing today at the Boatworks. The process started over the summer when a contest was held to create art for the tabletops of a dozen round wooden tables that we use at some functions, particularly our cabaret nights. The art was done on canvas, and 12 winners were chosen for our tables. The plan is to attach those paintings to the tops of the tables. It was decided that it would be best to remove the wooden discs from the pedestal bases, so they were placed upside down on a work surface and I was handed a power drill to remove the screws. Later I was part of the crew putting contact cement on the wood and on the canvas backs. After that I had to leave to get on with other parts of my day, so I didn't see the next step of adhering the canvas to the wood. Later the canvas will be trimmed and coated with a clear acrylic to protect the surfaces. The results will eventually be posted on the BAC blog.
