This will be my next project and I was curious on how should I fix the top to the trestles ? I am used to tabletop buttons but I don't think it's applicable to this design. Any ideas ?
As for the trestles, am I gonna lose lots of strenght by doweling the top of the frame to the vertical beams ? All the rest will be mortise and tenons but I figured it might be easier to dowel that part.
