I am building a coffee table similar to the American Bungalow Coffee
Table from the Thos. Moser catalog and wondered if anyone knows how the
legs are joined to the frame holding the table top. In the picture on
the web catalog it looks like half-lap joints are used to join the
ornamental stretchers to the table supports (cross-members). From the
picture it looks like the this four-member frame is just sitting on top
of the legs. Perhaps it is sitting on top and pegged together prior to
attaching top? Anyone ever have a close look at this table or have a
good idea how this joint is made?

Thanks, Joel
