Daryl Kiel, Thanks for the reply. I am sandwiching the two layers of MDF to give some thickness but mainly for rigid strenth. The table size is 6'w x 12'long. I had not considered an apron unless its necessary.It will have a 2or 3" solid edge cap arond the perimiter. The legs will be 40" wide x 28 1/2" tall x 6"thick. It is 2x framework with 3/4" oak ply wrap around it. THen I will bolt a 12" x 48" x 1 1/2" board to the top of the leg,then I will bolt thru the overlapping part of attaching board into the under side of the MDF top. This is were the question of type of bolt/screw and insert if needed will be used. Considering the long span I'm thinking it needs three of the leg supports. Also what type of glue,need working time and rigid when set. DO you think its necessary to use veneered bottm layer MDF so it can be glued and screwed and not warp. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. Great website hope I can start veneering some projects soon,afraid to practice on something this large. Thanks Glen Timber Treasures

Dear Glen,Do me a favor, fax me a drawing with a cross section of this table, the legs and how you see them attaching to thetop. I think I see it, but sometimes I get it wrong and make recommendations that are way off because I didnt understand what was going on. My fax # is 207-725-0932. Once I look overwhat you send, I will respond on this forum.: Daryl Kiel, : Thanks for the reply. I am sandwiching the two layers of MDF to : give some thickness but mainly for rigid strenth.
