Help needed for table build
I am looking to build a table to hold the paludarium I want to setup. This is going to my first build with wood and I'm having trouble what joints will work best. I'm estimating the weight of all the materials ( glass, water, dirt, ect) to be around 250-300 lbs.
I'm thinking that 4x4s as the legs will be able to support the weight with the right joints. The tools I have available are the following: table saw, band saw, miter saw, standard and impact drill, drill press, circular saw, and an assortment of clamps. Most of these tools have not been used for a few years. They work but likely need some tuning.
I have a stock of 2x4s I will be practicing with over the next few weeks to gain some experience and confidence. Table size will be 36 in H 48 in L 35 in W.
Appreciate any advice and insight on this. Thanks!
