1. Ergonomics is how different things are made for different audiences. For example a chair for a preschooler will have shorter legs causing the seat to be lower to the ground to be proportionate for the small child that is meant to sit in it. A chair for a high school student will be bigger than for a small child, this is ergonomics the different sizes that are meant for different people so they're proportionate with the persons body size.

2. The rebate Joint would be the best idea for this table because it combines the legs with the top in a strong, sturdy, and efficient matter. Another option is joining two boards together lengthwise, the tongue and groove joint is much stronger than a butt glue joint. Tongue and groove joints can be created on matching boards using matching router bits, or on a table saw. In this woodworking article, learn how to use your table saw to make perfectly matching tongue and groove joinery. Also another alternative is doweling. A few dowels are glued into matching holes in corresponding boards. The joint is clamped until the glue dries, which yields a strong, durable, classic woodworking joint. I feel that these three ways are the most efficient ways of combing are table top with the correlating legs.

3.We will cut the base legs on a triangular angle pinching the legs pushing the force up through to are joints that are connecting it with the top of the table. 1 potential problem for our project could be that are table may be off balance due to the amount of weight not being balanced. We plan on solving this by evenly distributing the weight in a triangle base on the inside part of the leg and the outside part of the leg.
