Converting an old marble table to a coffee table. I haven't worked in my shop recently and forgot how much work even the most basic thing like cutting to length is. Anyways, I'm happy how things turned out.

How did you cut the right-angle groove in the top of the legs?

Hmmm.

Now that I think about it, you bundled 6 pieces together to make the rails. So you could make the legs by bundling 9 pieces together, and have 3 pieces cut short to allow that to slot in. If you did the final planing pass for every single piece at the same time--so they were all exactly the same size--you should get a very tight fit.
