If my use of HD lumber has resulted in the apron being approximately 1/4″ thinner than the 1 5/8″ in Paul’s plans should I compensate in any way? If the housing for the legs is 5/8″ deep should there be a give and take to allow for a full inch of remaining depth left in the apron?
Working with this lumber has definitely been challenging, but I feel like I am learning a lot more than I would have buying perfect wood from a hardwood dealer.
Cheers!
