I remember why it's called woodWORKING again (progress pics inside)
Converting an old marble table to a coffee table. I haven't worked in my shop recently and forgot how much work even the most basic thing like cutting to length is. Anyways, I'm happy how things turned out.
If it is still possible, can you please post a picture of the joints from the perspective of the feet? Is it simply rectangular holes to fit the pegs (not sure if that's the correct English word)?
Unfortunately I didn't document that part of the process. But you figured it out correctly. It's two rectangular pockets that meet in the center of the leg. I drilled a bunch of holes using an 8mm drill bit and then chiseled out the rest. This process works quite well, even though it's not extremely precise, especially since I used pine.
From the last picture, it looks like legs can slide from the bottom direction onto the joint. So the legs don't have a "rectangular hole", but a "L-shaped slot from the top". I hope this description make sense.
No, It's the rectangular holes meeting in the middle.
That joinery is so clean!
Great work!
The pictures make things look better than they are ;) but thanks anyways!
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
