Funny enough, I love brass casting, maybe because the only thing I have to do is model making.<br \/>\nAnyway, one day I notice those wonderful vintage drafting tables and architect&#8217;s tables and fall in love with them. It&#8217;s a very unconventional item, not many people want them in their dollhouses, but it was a chance for me to try metal construction. It became so easy for me planning a piece for woodworking purposes that I thought metal would be something similar for me. Oh boy, I was wrong, big time.<br \/>\nThe table I made is simple, but there are couple of things that maybe not so easy to make &#8211; gears for height adjustment, table top angle adjustment. The parts are quite big, so you cannot just solder them together (and of course I thought I could when I was making a 3d model). <\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/vika-m\/46925262504\/in\/dateposted\/\" title=\"IMG_0083.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/46925262504_30da9d8f43_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" alt=\"IMG_0083.jpg\"\/><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Here are casted pieces<\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/vika-m\/32435633287\/in\/dateposted\/\" title=\"IMG_9672.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/7885\/32435633287_4c4078391a_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" alt=\"IMG_9672.jpg\"\/><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/vika-m\/32435634217\/in\/dateposted\/\" title=\"IMG_9684.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/7924\/32435634217_2ce65d2301_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" alt=\"IMG_9684.jpg\"\/><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><a data-flickr-embed=\"true\"  href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/vika-m\/40411902373\/in\/dateposted\/\" title=\"IMG_9685.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/7832\/40411902373_11131bea8f_z.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"587\" alt=\"IMG_9685.jpg\"\/><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>All the parts needed cleaning and fitting.
