Attaching Table Top

[Gary G™]

Love your table—it’s beautiful.

I make wooden buttons.
It’s real easy and has never given me problems.

My method is similar to what’s in the picture in this link:

My buttons are made like the ones shown here:

However, I make a slot in the aprons as wide as necessary for expansion rather than slotting the whole thing.

Thus, it’s a combination of techniques from both approaches and I believe it’s the better solution.

Thanks for the links Gary.  That's what I've used in the past.  I think it works well.
