I didn't care much for the blocky IKEA table we had so I made one with similar dimensions inspired by Alexandre Chappel's design.

Looks great! Do you have any close up shots of the lugs?

Thank you, here are some better angles. The upper and lower lugs are mostly the same, except the top ones have 2 extra screws

Looks beautiful and sturdy, and the colours are great. Amazing job!

I was going to mention putting a slot in to allow it to pull tight to the leg and was very happy to see you were ahead of me! Nice design!

Yeah, I had some iterations to be able to use the not so round shovel handles for the legs. Thanks!

Jethrotull’s Aqualug is one of my favourite songs.
