Well......... do yerself a favour & make the table!!
It's not that hard & is a real focal point. Rocker's article shows you how to do it in the easiest way possible.

I must congratulate both of you on the excellent work.

Exceptional execution, but that is no surprise.

Well Major... after seeing Rockers efforts and making my comments... I am

I just came back here to have a gander and work out how he joined that apron to the legs... gotta watch it so I dont make the sodding things to spindly eh?

Im considering making the legs (1in x 1in) join blocks (4in x 1in) that will be the corners wherein the front apron will also join this Im hoping will make a smooth transition to the sides

HOWEVER!!!... I was a tad conserned with the spindly nature of the legs and there being nothing lower down to keep them from wobbling later :eek: this shouldnt be too much of a problem I guess... I also see now that I will just give them a slight taper from about 4 or so inches below the join and gently round up to the join that should do.

One thing Ive just noticed with Rockers is (mmm yes I shoulda had a longer look back when I first glanced at it ) that hes made his with straight legs!! why on earth I thought he had made it with curved legs is beyond me!! So Ive added a degree of dificulty I didnt need to eh!

Dingo,

If you mean you are making the legs just 1" square, I think that is too spindly. My table's legs are 34 mm square at the top, and the inside faces are tapered so that the bottoms of the legs are 19 mm square. I suggest you print out the online article whose URL is given in post #13. That has a list of dimensions as well as details of the joinery.

Thanks

Good on ya Wild Dingo!

Here is a link to some construction photo's I took while building it, they might help . CLICK

There are other general photo's of the table on my site under the heading Tables. CLICK

Make sure you spend the time making a good form for the curved front as you use this when triming the front to length. This allows you to not worry about working out the cutting angles of the front curve.

I have posted an article about building my version of Major's table on my blog; see the link below.
