I'm looking for the best way to connect the wood apron to the metal legs. The best that i can think of right now is lag screws from inside the legs into the apron. I would love any suggestions. Thanks

If the tubing has thivk enough walls, you might be able to tap it to take a bolt. Getting a threaded insert welded in would be better.
