A simple shaker style table in white oak, finished with spar urethane and kitty approved.
The breadboard ends on the panels were an education on this one; on the top they aren’t strictly necessary, but I felt they were needed on the lower panel so that the movement of that captive panel wouldn’t rack the legs. Found out I prefer making the tongues with a router rather than the dado set on the table saw.
Looks great, excellent job! Just out of curiosity how did you attach the top to the base?
Thank you very much!
I ran a groove with the normal blade of my table saw along the inside of the apron boards, you can see them here during an earlier inspection:
We used metal Z-clips that screw into the top and just kind of poke into that slot. They work kind of like hold downs, the slot is a little farther from the top edge of the board than the height of the clips, so as you tighten the screws it clamps the table top on. They’re attached on the edges with the breadboard ends, so as the panel moves the clips can translate along the slot somewhat.
