I turned the table over and drilled the table buttons for a 1 inch #8 screw. This leaves 1/8 inch before the screw would go through the top. I used 10 buttons to hold down the top, this should help keep it flat and tight to the apron turrets.
Now I need to make the molding that matches the top and bottom of the turrets. This I will make by using traditional molding planes. I made a half set of hollows and rounds earlier this year and I am eager to use them.
I made some 3/8 inch stock and then used my fillister plane of create the first groove. Then I used the rabbet plane to create steps for the 3/8 inch round plane to follow. It worked out pretty good.
Tomorrow I check out the shape and make adjustments and I hope it is a lot warmer.
Here is the latest video:
The top looks very secure with the buttons. Three cheers for the moulding plane and sticking the profile. You're nearing the end and it's looking great.
