Thanks for the reply. I think we are talking about 2 different pics. I was referring to pic #3 in the opening post " Slabs on the 'Bot". It appears that there are screws on one end of the board but there doesn't appear to be room for more screws.

You are correct- stage one milling the legs, blanks are screwed to table. 60" Y axis has solid area with no vac hold down, so I use screws with abandon, regardless of all the reasons not to.
While there are 2 at each end of the slab, additional screw or two are used in strategic locations out of the bit path. (For some odd reason, those two images are shrinking more than the others on upload.)
Here's a different one where they're more evident.

Thanks again for the reply and the extra pic. I thought there had to be more screws but could not see them. Could not even see space for them with all the cuts. You have a great looking chair.
Sure thing - thanks for the kind words
