Shelf on Coffee Table |

We are planning to build a coffee table with a shelf. What is a good way to attach the corners of the shelf to the legs? The table will be about 3x5 feet; the legs will be squarish, not round.
Thank for the help. —Peter

Question about Garage Doors |

Greetings,
We had new house built last year which included an obscenely expensive garage door from a local door company.
I've already had to have them come out and look at the door (and make a bunch of changes to the installation) because it was creaking, groaning and popping.
Now some 5 months later, it's creaking, groaning and popping again.
I went and had a lookie see, and what is obvious that as the door travels on the tracks the wheels are extending outward.
With the door down, there is about 3/4" of shaft showing between the wheel and the bracket. With the door up, there is about 2" of shaft showing. This is a heavy door, and the shafts are angled downward from the load and the increased extension.
Just for laughs, I put my 4' Stanley level on the tracks attached to the wall:
As you can see here in 4' the track is about 1/2" off of vertical.
I've had garage doors for literally decades, and never had one that needed the attention this one has needed.
Are the uprights to your door vertical?
Thanks

Wood sealant for greenhouse |

We are about to embark on the assembly of an 8 x 10 greenhouse purchased thru Costco...Wood components/kneewalls with polycarbonate glazing panels. All wood has been given a coat of water based stain/sealant at the factory and has been routed out (after staining/sealing) for the insertion of the glazing panels. I would like to give a coat or 2 of sealant prior to assembly, focusing on the grooves as they will not be accessible in the future and will most likely be subject to moist conditions, but also on all mating surfaces/joints. According to the manual the lumber used is Cunninghamia lanceolata.
Thoughts/suggestions on a good sealer product is appreciated...
TIA

Length of turned legs |

Afternoon All,
I build furniture (mostly Shaker and Arts & Crafts style). I have a client that wants a Shaker style blanket chest. Plans call for four legs for the lower piece (the top piece fits into a lower piece).
I do not turn (although I build everything I do with hand tools only). As I mentioned, I need four turned legs. I can supply a turner with the profile of the leg. My question is:
If I need a turned leg that is 13" long, how much extra do I need to make the leg blanks so the turner can shape the legs on his/her lathe?
I have not yet located a person with a lathe or I could ask him/her the question.
Thanks,
Harold

Maybe I should reconsider a segmented head |

for my jointer/planer, not the one on my shoulders. I took the blades out to sharpen today because there is a nick in them. Wow, I didn't realize how deep they were. It took me an hour to sharpen the three of them. That likely would have been a 10 minute job to rotate one or two cutters on a segmented head. I looked into one months/years ago, then let it drop because I'm cheap. Perhaps I should reconsider; I'd rather being cutting wood than maintaining equipment these days.
The issue isn't just the segmented head. Because of the increased power needed to run one, the anemic 3 KW motor likely will need to be replaced as well. I can barely take off 1/16" now w/o bogging it down, so I generally go 1/32" per pass. SLOW. With a segmented head it's going to be even less unless I put a new motor on it, so I think I'm looking at at least $2k. If the 750 lb thing weren't down in my basement shop it might make more sense to sell/replace it, but that's not going to happen at this point.
Anyone else dealt with this first world dilemma?
John
