I asked a few questions about a table build earlier and thought I should post the finished table. It's made of pine and the plans were for a beginner. It called for screw only construction, but I'm not gonna put in that much work and use screws, so some redesign was called for, but I had to keep the basic design. Anyway, here are two photos - one of the frame, and one of it finished. I added extra bracing because I was not happy with the construction and it turned out rock solid, (phew!).

Good job! Is this for you or did you build it for someone else?

Good job. I like the bracing you did. Very smart. How is the top fastened to the frame?

Thanks David. A cousin has a granddaughter getting married in June and it's a present for her and her soon to be husband. My cousin and his wife came and picked it up today and they were thrilled with it. That's all that counts.

Thanks Bill. The extra bracing did what I hoped it would do.

Sorry Bill - I forgot to mention that I cut slots in the rails and 90° braces for the little z clips, (whatever they are called).

Thanks Tony. My cousin and his wife came by and picked it up yesterday. They were very happy with it.
