Re: New Project - Medieval Trestle style Breakdown Camp Tabl
You could extend a tab on the two legs and make it a mortise and tenon joint in that first layer of the table, underneath the top layer.

Re: Possible replacement for hay bales
I think the plastic barricades are the better looking of the plastic options presented so far. They at least have the cosmetic appearance of a wall. Round barrells look like...well...round barrells. Of course, the bonus is you can always hide really easily if you are wearing plastic armor already. J...
