This may be a little hard to explain without a diagram... but here we go.
Although the top is 20mm thick I wanted to add some cross bracing re-enforcement. To do this I'm using 40mm x 18mm pieces of myrtle. (Though some might argue using quarter sawn tas mryle for bracing is excessive...)I prepared 5 pieces but I think 4 will work well.
I've removed 5 cm of materal which will had a matching slot in the thicker edging pieces.
The plan is to use 5 x 25mm brass screws. One centered and four evenly spaced. Of course, I will oversize the outside four holes to be 2cm slots, allowing for expansion.
The grain of the legs will parallel the braces removing concern for expansion at that point.My blog: ~ for the love of wood ~ - http://theloveofwood.blogspot.com/

You need a bench hook Dan! 10min with a few bits of scrap and you have more control and save your shiny new bench from damage.

I'm liking the table, but I'm really liking seeing the 'bench in action!

I just couldn't stand to see him scratch his beautiful new bench. And its just so much easier to hold your work.

From the look of the figure in the top, this is going to be an impressive table.

Here's the rather unusual under table bracing. 2 of 4 done. (Had to patch a knot before completing the last 2.)

Last week I've made some solid progress on the top. I have all four braces now installed and made headway on the breadboards. The breadboards need some fine tuning to get a good fit. I don't want to make them too lose so I'm waiting for a bit of time to re-sharpen the plane for some trial and error.
I've uploaded pics to the blog of the steps involved.
