Thank you for all the suggestions on the pool cue railing. Thanks to the ones I've received here and from other forums, I have a perfect picture in my mind. I will post a link to some picures once it's done. I have all the materials and will be building it over the next few weeks, between work, side jobs, etc.

Now I'm looking for some input on a table my wife would like me to build. It's a three legged crossed coffee table, if that makes any sense. A picture of it can be scene at: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/maxpower_hd/my_photos

It looks simple enough but I can't seem to figure out how to do the third leg. It looks as though you could notch the first two and fit them together but I'm confused on the third. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Although not technically crossed, you could have a short center piece that allows you to mortise and tenon, dowel, or biscuit in it (top and bottom) to create the three leg effect.

Take a look at a camping portable stool to get an idea of how they get the crossed legs to work.

mortise and tenion, dowels or pocket screws and glue. If you have any old jacks around (remember that game) use one to inspire you. My first thought was a tank trap, but I don't have any of those around except in maybe "Medal of Honeur".
