Adding Legs To A Table Top
I am currently making an oak table with bread board ends.
Adding legs to a table top. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what would be the best way to fasten the skirting and legs to allow for movement in the table top. Sheeting clips were used to attach the plywood top to the base of this table. Granite not only is good for counter tops but is also handy for a table top.
Once each leg has dried use an L-shaped brace to give further strength. While you are getting supplies be sure to get see my post How to Paint Table Legs the Easy Way. Adding the legs sure made the bookcase look so much better and suited for the space.
As it stands you have created a flex point and it will loosen over time. I highly recommend the Genesis GLCD122P. Mounting screws and hanger bolts not included.
You have them going across the table legs. The same way glass tabletops are attached to legs happens to work. Since granite is stone and not wood it needs a different method for attaching table legs.
If there is not an existing leg platform to install the leg you can easily add a block of wood to the underside of the furniture and then install. Apply glue to one end of each table leg and put in place. Attach one side of the brace to the leg and the other to the underside of the.
Install threaded inserts with a dab of glue for lubrication. If they were inside the table legs the tables would be set to a fix point. The first is to notch into the leg.
