The safety stop.


The lock handle, actually a ball valve, in its unlocked position.


Specially ordered brass acorn nuts, distances and bolts.


Art Deco inspired table top, custom shaped and routed details.


Copper pipe holders used as hinges, bolted through the wood, and metal bars for reinforcement, on the back. You can see the painted over bolts that holds the metal bars.


Brass decorative cigar box corners, ordered from Holland of all places.


An extra brass handle on the top of the bottom side.


Not all parts are soldered, to be able to dismantle the construction. Here a T-shaped brass compression fitting.


The back leg rests on rubber feet to minimize vibrations and corrosion.


And of course a name plate in brass to top things off.
