I'm planning to make my 1st "real" woodworking project, a base for a glass
topped dining room table. The basic design will be a bit like this metal
one, only executed in wood: http://www.dwr.com/productdetail.cfm?id=0375
Top size will be 72" x 42" x .5".


Nice looking table.

Have you determined how much that glass will weigh? I'm a little worried about
the joint at the top of the legs.


I think I'd use a bridle joint there.
