calmly ranted:

Also, anyone have any good ideas on ways to mount the top to the trestle
portion to easily be able to knock down?

I've thought of hidden dovetail rails or simple "wooden latches" (just a
block of wood MTd into the bottom of the table top, then use a peg into a
hole on the trestle bottom)

Sliding dovies work well, as do M&T with pegs, same as the stretchers.


I just want to make sure it's sturdy enough if someone needs to pick up the
table and move it or pull and slide it....

That's a good thing to plan for.

So you're going with the 7" overhang, are you? Are there any Alpha
Males to be seated at this table? They'll be MIGHTY ****ED at the
lack of leg- and foot-room at the GOD end of the table.
