The table top for the new Apple II table is finished. Just curing for a week or so. Still need to build the frame. This one will be simpler than the last. Just a basic mortise and tenon with an extra set of supports about six inches down on the sides and back.

Table is finished and installed. Mac LC III has FINALLY been moved out of my office.

The table's final dry fit. It's almost perfectly level which was one thing I was worried about.
Also, the glue up with shims.
Tomorrow, the finishing goes on and it should be ready to attach the top

Finally finished the joinery for the table frame. Just needs a few final tasks:
* Shorten the legs from 36" to 29.5"
* Remove some of the visible layout markings
* Round off the sides of the legs
* Add the slots for the z-clips
* Glue (with a couple of shims) the joinery
* Apply the finish to the frame
* Attach the top
