I am looking for table leg brackets. Ones that attach the table legs to the apron. Does any one have any ideas about where I could find these.
Thanks,
Dawn |

To start WELCOME. I am not sure exactly what kind of brackets you are looking for but Rockler carries these http://www.rockler.com/ecom7/product...GMGFDADADADBDB
I think that I have seen something like that at Lowes also.

Dawn, you're very welcome. Personally I would consider using mortise and tenon or dowel joinery over using those metal brackets. But the brackets do allow you to disassemble the table for transporting or storage, and they're a lot easier to use. Let us all know and see how the table turns out.

I've used them on a dining table I built because it was necessary to be able to take it apart to move it. They work great, are rock solid and very easy to work with. The hardest part is actually the hanger bolt but if you make a "V" brace to hold the leg and a drill press to drill it goes quite well.
Put 2 nuts on the hanger bolt and tighten them against each other and then you can use a socket wrench to drive the hangers in. Once it's in the nuts come back off easily.

I saw that link, and thought that it looked like my 17 M.O. daughter got control of the keyboard. Imagine my surprise when it worked! | |

Dawn, When I was teaching school, got to see a lot of table legs. Some were fastened to metal brackets, while some were fastened to wood brackets. Both fastened with hanger bolts screwed into legs on one corner, and then fastened to diagonal brackets (wood or metal) with nuts and washers. Being that you are a woodworker, it just makes sense to use wood (scraps of hardwood such as oak, maple or ash) to make your own. The metal ones had to have a slot cut into apron to work, while the wood ones were just screwed on. | |
