Outline for the base of woodworking table.
Hey guys, Amateur woodworker here. In the attached photo you'll see a diagram for the lower set of stretchers I'm planning on putting on my woodworking table project. The tabletop is about 6 foot by 28 inches made of 4 bonded 2X8's. The 6 legs are 4X4's and I'm using 2X4 stretchers. Just underneath the table, I'll have a standard rectangle of stretchers connecting the legs and a couple of cross-pieces throughout the center. Pretty standard. For the lower set of stretchers, which I'm planning to have about 10 inches above the ground, I was considering using the layout seen in the image, allowing me to comfortably use a chair or stool at the table without the legs being blocked by the stretchers. The stretcher doesn't need to be recessed quite that far but maybe 1/3 of the way towards the back of the table. I do a lot of work with smaller wood projects and leather and I like to sit while I stitch or dye. Would this work or are there unforeseen complications? The majority of my projects are small in scope, but I do a little bit of metal working so I want to ensure the table can take a beating. Thoughts? https://preview.redd.it/s44ud0ywb55f1.jpg?width=772&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0d57a945c99dc0e9c8050e320bff0cb6e7f27a08 submitted by /u/DungeonsNDeadlifts [link] [comments]
