For this table i was think 42 by 34 approximately with a two inch thick solid wood top that has a brace every 22.25 inches center to center and then a cross brace, to support the brace slats, consisting of a 4 by 6. The brace, the slats as i called them, would be 2 by 8 pieces.
Or, if my inferior description doesn't make sense, then see the image included. Black & Gray is the top, red is brace, yellow is cross brace and green are the legs
Black & Gray, top; 3, 11.25 wide by 42 long, 1.5 thick
Red, Brace ; 1.5 wide and 34 long, 6.5 thick
Yellow, cross brace; 3.5 wide, 42 long, 5.5 thick
Green, legs; 3.5x3.5 post 23 tall
The table as described could take up to about 600-1200 pounds. My logic being;
A) I have a barn full of wood.
B) One must account for potential idiocy.
C) I'll wind up with a nice 15 wide pocket just tall enough for one or maybe a pair of smaller bits of TEA.
D) MORE POWER!
E) Sag is evil.
F) I can.
Oh, and this is just the base table i intend to have a shelf on hanging off the back of it.
Can you say solid as a dead rock?
