I'm planning on buying one later this year but in the meantime I'd like
to go ahead and make the table for it. I'm most interested in knowing where
the bolt holes through the legs/feet. I'm not planning on drilling the holes
yet ( I'll wait until I actually have the lathe in my shop) but I want to
plan out where to put the cross stretchers so I'm not drilling into them
but would like to have them pretty close to where the bed bolts down.
Also I'm planning on using 3" C channel (Approx. 1/4" thick) for the table
front and back aprons and 4 stretchers. Then 3" square tubing (again 1/4"
thick walls) and 1/4" thick plate for the top. I think this should be stout enough
but wanted to see what the group thinks.

If it's crazy but it works, it's not crazy.
