A style of table that is cheapest and strongest. and easy to build. The style is adaptable to shape. The "L" shaped legs bolt to the frame and are glued. The rest is done with screws. It is easily rigid enough to add wheels. This one in the photo used to be taller but i shortened it. New legs could be built for a couple dollars This is spruce framing 2x6 wood.
I would say that this is my invention, since i had been working with simple structures over a period of years. It was meant to be taller as a "work table". The legs are 1/2 ripped of the same stock and then glued to right angle cut to size and shaped along the edges. The bolted joint is a kind of compression joint that compresses near the top of the structure. All the parts seem to support and bolster all the other parts. I think of it as a modern primal piece of engineering art.
That a handsome looking Table! What are the eye bolt for?

@amy2x The bolts actually hold the legs on and holds it together. I made another one with regular 1/4 inch bolts. If you have eye bolts, you can actually assemble and dissemble with only a screw driver. All the parts reinforce the other parts. The actual table top is supported on the top of the legs. This one was a 36 inch tall table, but i shortened it to a 24 inch tall. It's very rigid or sturdy Could probably hold a half ton. Ultimately it ends up being strongest for cheapest..
