Parts list to make a high table.
- The top consists of 2 or more Scaffolding boards.
Any wood will do, but we prefer the use of reclaimed planks.
These are connected with another short plank below the tabletop. - Four tubes for the table legs.
We advise a height of 110cm. for these table legs.
Use shorter tubes if you want to make a dining table. - Four tubes, each with a length as your desired table size.
We suggest to use tubes of 80 or 90 cms.
Another shape for these tables could be stretched rectangular.
For tables of 80x120cms it is wise to add extra support between the table legs.
The woodworking plans for a farmhouse table show another method to connect table legs.
You can add four through corner elbow pieces to connect extra tubes as with the barstool footrests. - Plus 4 half open straps to connect the tabletop to the tubes.
- Furthermore you need 4 base plates or plastic stops for each table.
The plastic tube endings prevent scratches from the table legs. - For the top of this table frame you will need four corner knee pieces.
These three way elbows are like all other connectors available in bare metal and a limited range of colors.
