sorting out the legs

Here's how the legs will be spaced, overall height will be about 33" tall so that I can get over the bench planes when working the wood. The legs here will have 4" long tenons draw-bored directly into the top like so:



I'll offset the shoulders such that there's 1,1/2" clearance on the outside, and 1/2" on the inside like this:

  4. The 34 inch height ought to be good. Office desks are around 30 inches. Kitchen counter tops for tall guys like you and Lightfoot are around 36 inches. I have a bench in my hangar that is 40 inches and it's real nice for looking at the airplane parts I'm working on. But Planeing on wood products is another story...
