Answers: How do you build a mid-century dining table with an angled base without math?

• Mid-century dining table
• White oak woodworking
• Angle-based table base construction
• Half-lap joints
• Festool Kapex miter saw
• Finishing with Rubio Monocoat

What it concludes

• You do not have to put biscuits or dominoes into a table top because glue joints are plenty strong.
• Tracing out table bases on scrap plywood and using marked lines is easier than using math and geometry.
• The Festool Kapex miter saw with a trenching feature makes cutting half-lap joints easier than using a dado stack on a table saw.
• Using scrap tape on the base legs prevents clamps from marring the wood during glue-up.
