re: Side-Table, w/Floating Top

Madts, Jack: thank you for the comments and question…

Jack: this project, I knew what I wanted to do prior to starting – which is different from the Contemporary Desk finished last month. I had completed much research on floating-top tables; but found a normal table that looked good to me; then, I reverse engineered the floating-top. Since the legs are canted at 4.5 degrees (off 90), I had to cut the Shelf/Leg joints at 94.5 degrees (to the long axis of the Leg). To keep the tops of the Legs in the same plane as the Table Top, I used the router table to create the Leg Tops – a detail point. Once you take things out of straight or 90 degrees, things get interesting…

Thanks, again.
Mike
