Photos reposted from MAKE[Charles] I'm a fan of MAKE magazine for sure. Definitely this and Readymade are the go-to mags for me as a maker for ideas and cool projects. Through a bunch of random links, I ended up on this project today that is very similar to one of my concepts. I've always liked the idea of slanting the legs of a table with slots and allowing the weight of the top to hold it together. I like this one and with a little tweaking to lock in the top with another slot you could get rid of hardware all together. I love gypsy furniture that can just lay in the back of the car when you're ready to move. Let me know what you think...
Here's how they cut the slots - definitely good work for a router if you've got one...
Here's the base - supported just by locking into the slots that were straight in the legs and angled in the cross support. Pretty simple right?
Check out the entire how to on Make if you want...
Thanks for the link. Always looking for new ideas on how to use any materials and this is way simple. As soon as I get caught up on some of the refinsihing I need to take care of I plan on starting to use some of the stuff on hand to create something new out of something old (or mistreated). Great link!
