Ok, yes - I know this isn't handtool related, but this is the only place I post... I don't know the other folks outside of here!
Anyway, I'm taking some time on a dining room table. My wife didn't want something with straight lines, she wanted a center round pedestal and ordered one from Adams Wood Products (specifically the Large Traditional Single Pedestal Base).
The pedestal comes with 4 bolts on the top, and to be blunt I don't know how to connect it to my 1" thick round walnut blank. I'm thinking of a 3/4" section of plywood bolted to base, and that then attached via a set of screws in elongated holes? She wants it finished before she decides on if it needs an apron... (which will be another question I post I'm sure).

* And for the record, I was worried buying a pedestal. But what I got from Adams Wood in TN impressed me.... I would use them again.
