Coming to close on a kitchen table -- top is now down, its circular with a
48" radius. This weekend I am working on the pedestal or supporting structure. The plan for the pedestal is to use an "X" on the floor of half lapped boards at 90 degrees and the vertical riser is an open structure of 4 individual posts.The question is to support a table that is 48" in diameter is there a minimum size needed for the feet -- the "X" on the floor -- should it extend to the end of the table -- 1/2 the distance to the edge 2/3 etc. I can handle the esthetic angle -- just wondering about the engineering.
