Since all the major parts are so heavy, I thought to key the leg units to the trestle and loose-pin/dowel the tabletop boards together, as table leafs are loose-doweled to a fixed table top. With this wide of boards, I'm concerned with expansion and contraction, so I think they, individually, need to remain free floating.

Once in its permanent place, the table isn't likely to be moved, so the weight of the top (200+ lbs?) should allow it to remain in place, but I will attach it to the base with a loose/sliding connection of some sort. I haven't worked out that specific loose/sliding connection, yet, but it shouldn't be too technically involved to execute.

I never thought to apply the epoxy a little at a time, and why. Thanks for that key info.
