Could you give more specific

Could you give more specific on how you did the supports for the redesigned top and the measurements of your boards? I want to make this table this weekend and love your version!

Thanks!

Perfect! Thank you!
One last question: did you use 1x3s for the supports and invert a 1x4 on top to attach the board from the bottom? Or did you attach some 1x2s to the supports?

They are 1x4's with an inch

They are 1x4's with an inch taken off on the table saw; I didn't think to buy 1x3's. And yes they are 1x4's on top of that to screw through from the bottom.

Spacing of table top boards

Hello - LOVE your design!

I'm trying to figure out your cuts. How far apart did you space your table top boards? Thanks!

Middle support

As much as I look at the Ana's original plan and this modification, I can't see what the slats are screwed in to. Are there additional 1x4 boards that the top is resting on. I can see the frame but can't figure out the what the slats are attached to. Any suggestions or help would he appreciated. I'm sure the answer is staring me in the face but I just can figure it out. A novice builder without plans.

Thanks!
