aliebling Posted October 18, 2020 Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 I have a electric sit/stand desk DIY base kit and glued up a nice wenge and zebrawood top for it. The metal arms for attaching to the top were clearly not made to deal with wood movement. One line of screws is pretty close to the center of the table. I thought about leaving those as normal and reaming out the rest of the holes to allow for breadthwise movement (screws then mounted with washers). Better/less invasive ideas?

Popular Post wtnhighlander Posted October 18, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 18, 2020 That will probably do fine. If it still concerns you, try bolting some figure-8 fasteners to the rear rail, using flat head machine screws from the top side for a flush fit. Then wood screws up through the other hole into the wood. Leave the 8s angles so they have wiggle room. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted October 19, 2020 Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 Never thought about using flat head screws on the table part of the figure 8’s. It would allow fore better movement I bet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
