What makes you think only 50% of the material was removed? Regardless, what is your point? This table probably costs $100,000. The person who buys this can afford to hire a crane to move it, and will probably never eat off of it. You have some strange estimation skills.

Drilled away is about 50% of the surface. The four solid legs will weight at least 100kg. I think the glass top at least 75kg. I reckon this table is around 400kg. The top weights 408kg.

The result was probably a solid but light enough to be moved table. I'ts beautiful in my opinion.

No, it doesn't. I think you (Howard) have a hole fixation. 909 holes mean anything? No, it doesn’t.

A crane ...? Do aluminium, 909 holes or exquisite mean anything? I guess not Perhaps speak to your wife gently, she may help with the 10 inches. Yet I surmise she could move it anywhere she wanted - on her own. One in my home, one in the Tate Gallery... not sure where the other 8 will go. Don't mind really 8-) These 10 pieces are extraordinary! You miss the point. … not bad?! A crane …?

This piece is an example of balance and beauty that can be accurately described as art/blend furniture. My only criticism is the moniker you have chosen. This wonderful object screams out for a descriptor that gets it out of the kitchen and into our living and dining room. More machined art in the works I can only hope!
