More of my home made furniture.
the wood slab on top is 1 3/8" thick. I welded 4 studs on the inside lip and drilled holes thru the wood slab. I counter sunk the holes on the wood slab bottom side and nuts sit flush inside the wood slab on the bottom side. The entire frame is welded together and i sand blasted it and had it powder coated as one unit. the hardware is all dummy bolts. i wanted the look of the rivets but dont have the tools to do it. so i cut the heads off carriage bolts and drilled holes thru the steel plates and plug welded from the back side.
I will get a few more pics of the attaching method tonight.
