Step 6: Legs and Appron
Legs-
The legs I ordered off EBay from a guy who turned them from antique pine beams. The legs are 30 inches tall and 6x6 on the top. They are over the top large legs. The only problem is the legs had large weather cracks in them. So I filled in the legs with the same 2-part epoxy I used on the top.
Apron-
With the apron I used the same wood as the top and cut mortise tenon joints using my drill press on my Shopsmith. I also cut a grove in the apron about 1/2 inch from the bottom. Then some glue and clamps, and we are almost done.
