Trying to make a vaulted game table with removable legs. Should my frame and spacer board contact the leg surface, or float away as pictured, if I plan on using hardware and hanger bolts to hold the leg on the frame? Also, I put 3 dowels at the top of the leg to insert into table arm rails to try to secure the top tighter...didn't want any hardware visible from the play area so I was going to put a bracket below the playing surface and use the dowels at the top for extra support. Bad/good idea on those?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
