Pub Tables 4
After milling the skirts it is time to attach them to the tops. This is accomplished by screwing pocket screws through the inside ring of the skirt into the underside of the top.
A close up shot of the skirt. I routed the same detail on the edge of the skirt as I routed on the table top.
The middle turned leg is connected to the top using the square plate you see here. Four screws into the leg and four screws into the top and everything is good!
It was time to tackle the eight feet. They were rough cut way back in the first entry and had to wait for the arrival of the middle leg to go any further. Their time had come and, using a pattern and a flush trim bit, I cut out their final shape on the router table.
A subtle, yet fancy detail is routed all the way around both sides of each foot.
A dovetail is routed into each foot using what else but a dovetail bit and the router table.
The tops of each dovetail are cut away, ensuring that when the feet are attached to the turned leg, they will cover the top of the corresponding dovetail slot. Just wait and see.
