In this video, I finish the construction of the base assembly for a contemporary style trestle table. I cut the bridle joint for the mid brace, drill the draw bores, cut the tenon wedges, hand plane all the surfaces, glue and assemble the base, and attach the corbels. The base assembly went together nicely and should be a perfect platform for the Cherry table top.
