My Daughter and Husband are retired and now running a Boy's Ranch for
about 8 problem youngsters.<br>
She has requested 8 small bedside tables. Large enough for a small lamp,
etc.<br>
Got to be Low Cost !<br>
Looking at metal corner brackets to attach the legs. Cost at the big box
is approx. $2.50 per. bracket. Need 32 of them !<br>
Question: Cannot a piece of hardwood be cut at a 45 degree angle at each
end be used for this purpose? Just drill a quarter inch hole in the
center .<br>
Instead of $80 for commercial brackets, these could be done from the
cut-off bin<br>
What is the feeling of the group? <br>
Thanks !<br>
