Tabletop Connection
Steel tabletop fasteners are a great way to attach a tabletop to its base while still allowing for seasonal changes. On a table with straight aprons, it’s easy enough to saw a kerf to hold the connectors with the tablesaw, but on a curved or molded apron that’s not feasible. Instead, I’ve found that my biscuit joiner cuts these slots quickly and accurately.
