Maestro New Model CT-1 Custom Table

Today we will look at the construction of a table. First, you need a laminate top, not a solid top, as a laminate is stronger, thus being able to withstand the weight of the things you are putting on. Next you would need 4 legs which are solid, making the weight distribution even. Make sure to knock on the wood as you would a neck to test the sound.

Using the bolt on system, fix up the legs with the table top. Add some rubber or ABS plastic on the ends of the legs to let the the table stand firmly without any lateral shaking or sliding.

Finally, using 2 strips of top quality pine, construct the X-bracing at the bottom part of the table top to give it more strength and to prevent warping. Fasten down with clamps to ensure the gluing is firm and wait to dry. Scallop and shape the bracing as you like.

The final product, ready to use.

*Disclaimer: The above instruction is just pure nonsense from the Maestro staff. However we DID construct the table. You can check it out at Maestro @ Esplanade.

Silent Emissions

A joke I heard on a Sunday in KL over some coffee and pancakes. Enjoy.

An old lady walks into a clinic and asked to see the doctor for consultation. She said to the doctor," Doctor Doctor! I have a serious problem!"

"What is it?" asked the doctor.

"I keep getting these silent farts coming. They ain't smelly and there's no sound, but I'm pretty annoyed by them. Is there any way to get rid of them?

The doctor searches around the drawers and took out a bottle of pills.

"Here, take these, 2 pills 3 times daily, after meals. When you finish the medication, come back and we will see how it goes."

So the old lady followed the instructions given by the doctor. A week later, she came back, this time with an angry look on the face.

"Hey Doc! You told me to take the pills and I did. But now the farts are freaking loud like cymbals crashing! What the hell did you give me?!" the old lady shouted.

The doctor calmly replied, "Ok, now that we have cured your hearing problem, let's move on to your nose......"
