Oh is it? Having never done this before I went for the over engineered approach . Perhaps I got carried away with my new favourite tool, the biscuit jointer on loan from Bob 9F. I made the buttons en masse as well.
Just to show how far my woodworking skills have progressed. Here is the table, partially seen earlier in this thread, that I made at least 35 years ago. Legs attached to rails using T bolts (bed bolts) . Plastic corners used to attached the top.
In some ways woodworking was so much easier back then. I just had an idea and ran with it. Nowadays I spend longer perusing the web related to the project then I do actually making anything. And I still get it wrong. .
