It turns out I didn&#8217;t account for the length of the holdfast shank, so I&#8217;ll need to cut a small notch here and in the front cross brace. I&#8217;m very happy with the dog hole spacing, so I wouldn&#8217;t change that. I could move the brace block further towards the rear, but then that makes the width of the shelf that sits on the lower stretchers narrower. Since I want that shelf to do double duty as a filler board for the tool well if needed to make the top completely flat, it needs to be 10.5&#8243;. Which is what dictated the placement of the brace block in the first place. So notch it is.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.mykos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/upside-down-top.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-322\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.mykos.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/upside-down-top.png\" alt=\"upside down top\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are still a few cosmetic things that need to be done. I&#8217;ll round over the ends of the cross braces to make them less pokey.
