How would you do it?

Just caught this thread LN.

Could you have made the legs then joined one length of the top to two legs with dowels and then done the same with the other two, finally add the centre part of the top with biscuits , hope that makes sense.

Hi Dave

That's a really clever idea.

So how do you then attach the legs?

Thanks
Neil

Well I used pocket screws and copious amounts of PVA.

I knew you'd weaken when I suggested that :lol: :lol:

Table looks really very nice Nibbo - I particularly like to see furniture before the finish is applied as I have rarely seen a piece that was improved with the finish on. I just love the look and feel of the bare wood

Dave,

That's a great idea. I shall file it under 'to be used one day'.

Neil and Nick, glad you like the idea. I wish I could take credit for it.

As far as attaching the legs, it depends upon the style of legs. You could glue in more wood behind the trim pieces as needed. Just make sure the grain goes the proper direction. If the legs are like LN's table, you could attach the legs as he has done on his table.

Hi Dave

Thanks for the explanation.

I thought you had some cunning plan for the legs as well.

All the best,
Neil
