Hi all,
I'm in the process of making an Oak hall table for my daughter that will have a shelf about 6" from the bottom. With the exception of this lower shelf, I have it all dry fitted and ready to glue up. Now the problem is that I can't think of a decent way to secure the lower shelf to the legs. The best way I can think of right now is to notch the inner corner of each leg and recess corners of the shelf into it, perhaps providing a dowel as well. However, its all made from solid 3/4" material and I'm worried about movement. Any ideas??? Below is a sketch of the table...
Thanks,
Mark
