    On that style I'd likely just slot the bottom of the apron for a few elongated holes and screw the apron to the top. I haven't used the figure 8s myself.

    When I can I typically try to screw a cleat into the bottom of the table (elongate holes in cleat for wood movement), then cut a mortise in the top of whatever stretcher/apron/base, then drawbore the holes.
