QUESTION: Does a table top really Need biscuits/dominoes/dowels, or is glue enough? in c/[email protected]

Thanks for the info! I’m hoping for a few years, at least, with daily use. Would steel legs like these from Semi-Exact be enough support to use glue only? BTW, I’m not married to the glue-only concept. Just really curious about all kinds of joinery.

Assuming proper alignment, is clamp n glue of the planks good enough joinery for long-term stability?

Honey badger-saurus don’t care. Repenomamus robustus, indeed!

Thank you! I was thinking surely there have been more than a couple thousand new converts. :)

Is that bump just for lemmy.ca, or for all instances?

Saw it on the Kreg site and mostly followed the plan. All 2x4s with pocket holes.

My dad and I had the misfortune of driving behind a truck that apparently had a load of dead cows headed for the rendering plant. No place to pass on the highway for a few miles and it was summer. Horrible.
