Adding some wooden pins

Because the assembly of the table was not stable enough, another conncection between the table surface and the table legs is needed. After some brainstorming and extra research, we decided to put 6 wooden pins on the table legs, and 6 holes in the plates of the table surface. These should make the construction more stable.

The little side plates are to ensure that the wooden pins don't fall out because the wooden pins have the same diameter as the wooden plates. These plates were first glued onto the table legs, but they kept falling off because of the force needed to put the plates into the wooden pins. Then we decided to attach them with some small screws to make sure the product is durable.

The result is that the configuration of the table, even without the textile, is already a lot more stable. With the textile, the friction between the holes and pins is a little bit more, making the final product even more stable. The table however, still shows a little bit of unstability, but this can be explained because the holes in the table surface were drilled too big and not straight enough.
