This is my second zig zag table, built in 1988 and constructed from 2″ by 6″ walnut and white oak. The table took around 40 hours to construct, keeping in mind it was engineered to be set up as a production run. I used a steel re-enforced rod assembly method to do the actual gluing of the segmented block sections. Once the glue was dried I released the steel rod tension which also serves as a permanent re-enforment for maximum strength and stability. Notice the photos show a step by step process of cutting, gluing, cutting again, and gluing again to achieve the random brick or zig zag pattern.
