   Don I built my dining room table with two columns but I used two feet instead of three the two columns are connected at the base by a center rail. If I would of have my time back I would of turned the feet so that they were facing 45 deg form the center line of the table instead of 90 deg and made them a little larger to keep with the columns proportions.

   Thanks for the comments. I have since sold the table and been working on a set of plans for a new design that I will start next year.Scott C. Frankland

   Don  I just brought home mother-in-law's old mahogany dining room table that has two pedestals / three legs as you described.  I had taken it apart without noticing which way the legs face.  I pointed the odd legs inwards so they wouldn't protrude.   Now I find that you can't scoot the two end chairs in very far without hitting the other two legs.  So I don't know what's right, but you might want to check it with  chairs in place.

   Thats just about what happened to us.  The floor refinishers took the table apart, and can' remember how it was.  I checked furniture catalogs (as a woodworker, I keep as many as I can get on hand), and they all seem to point the odd leg toward the table ends.  Don
