Nice job! Since you asked for comments, my only concern is how
the brace is attached at each end. If it's just a couple of
nails into end grain, I would add something more substantial--to
make sure it lasts forever! People will surely place their feet
on it... Lovely table!

I agree it's nice work.

I've noted several people expressing concern over attachment of the
legs. If you look closely you'll see that there are plugs consistent
with pocket-hole screws. Looks like 4 per leg. Can't tell if there
is also dowelling or tenons, or, for that matter, if what look like
plugs are in fact dowel-ends.

Good eye.

Four 2-1/2" pocket screws per leg into the horizontal brace.

Four 2-1/2" HD counter sunk pocket screws (not pocketed) attach the
brace to the bench. The screws were driven at a 12.5° angle. Same angle
as the legs 'cuz that's how the drill had to be held. ;-)

I threw some glue at all connection points just for good measure.

Pocket holes are filled here, counter sunk holes were filled later:

For future situations, you can make the pilot hole a little larger in
diameter to compensate for movement.

Thanks
