Most of my dressers or small tables I use corner blocks and just screw from underneath into the top. I don't expect them to be moved a lot.
I want to build a sewing table assembly that I can breakdown and move and set up again reusing the same mounting holes in the bottom of the top. One table is @ 7ft long with four legs, 2nd table is about 5-1/2 ft long with two legs and sits 90 degrees to the other and they both sit in the corner of the room. I plan to connect the two leg table skirt to skirt with the 4 leg table using four furniture connectors through the skirts. Plan is to make the two tops use corner blocks, and install this in the shop and route the edge with a round over bit. Then take the tops off and disassemble the bases from each other and move it into my wife's sewing room then reassemble. I am Ok with my plan for the bases, but I need to be able to hold the routed edge when I put the tops back on.
I was thinking of using 1/4-20 threaded inserts in the top (overkill, but I have a bunch of them in the shop) and once assembled, route the edge and this should let me put it back together and hold the routed edge at the joint?
Appreciate any ideas on a better way to go about it. Thanks, Brian
