Because the leg mortises are cut in line with each other the top of the leg is weaker than one with perpendicular mortises. Dragging the table creates a large amount of leverage at the top of the leg, and it could split. A cornerblock is made to strengthen the leg.
I placed a second corner block to further reinforce the joint.
Z-clip slots are cut with a biscuit joiner and a spacer.
The base is mounted to the top with clips and screws.
The clip is a secure mounting method that allows for seasonal movement.
