   Hi Andy,
   Mrs. Jet here
   Nice to see another generation interested in the finer points of woodworking. The hole is over the garbage can, that's why there's an over hang. The table top is also not centered as there is less overhang over the drawers and more overhang on the other side so you can pull up a "Bar stool" and "sit and chat" or shuck some peas. The residents of the home are not bed bound and still willing and able to help in th kitchen when they wish. The design of the table fits the house perfectly.
   My eldest son son (Jet Sr.) Was in charge of turning the table legs on the lathe we bought when the wood shop at school went bust (Their loss, our gain).
   Take care and Happy New Year"No doubt exists that all women are crazy; it's only a question of degree." - W.C. Fields

   You should probably put some hardware on the drawers and deliver the piece too.

   Nice work.

   I was wondering if cookbooks would be pushed up against it from the end, but thought  nah....they've get really dirty there. Tray storage might be the deal.

   Beautiful project and very nice of you to do it.

   Question on the top:  Are the boards simply edge glued?   I see some marks on one edge that could be for something like allthread rod or similar.

   The top was biscuit joined glue up. The only metal in the whole thing are the runners for the drawers and the angles that hold the top on to the base.
   Those marks on the side are flaws in the wood I filled with saw dust and glue. Still need to be sanded."No doubt exists that all women are crazy; it's only a question of degree." - W.C. Fields

   No prefab.
   We found some great maple at $2,50 a board foot. 16" wide 2 1/4" thick and just over 8 feet long.
