Q&D Outdoor Kids Table
SWMBO picked up an old round pedestal dining table and asked me to convert it into a large kids height table for here family daycare.
It's all screw and glue except for the halflap joint at the bottom. The post is set into a 15mm recess in the feet and then secured with a high dowel and some 100mm screws. Seems strong enough.
All made from a heap of discarded unworkable karri tat I've got lying around. Only good for glue&screw.Cheers,
Adam

The little toads errr darlings aren't going to climb on it and tip it base over apex are they?
Sounds a cool game though, tip the table on the toddler. :eek:Boring signature time again!

Update,
The bloody thing start to wobble. Not an isntant joint failure but the 1inch dowel joint and 4x100mm screws didnt stay together. If you have a close look at the photo I've only recessed the ost 10mm into the half-lapped legs.
A few intimate hours with a ryoba and a 1inch chisel and the post has a nice recess which the half-lap base slots into perfectly. I also added adjustable feet which screw into T-Nuts. All seems as solid as a rock now.Cheers,
Adam
