I'd secure the legs to the apron by using wood screws. I'd then secure
the top to the apron using "Z-Clips".

looking attachments that are listed on the same website he furnishes, down

If you are going to be so damned picky, use finish nails.

I like pop rivets, tho I found out recently that you're supposed to
predrill holes for 'em.

Note - the guys here with the really loose jowels are the ones
whose replies are "tongue in cheek" - which is why they have
loose jowels - Edwin and Morris in this thread for example.

I used to make rustic furniture and often used lag bolts to hold the slabs
together.

I had a friend who banged together some recycled planks into some temporary
furniture. He did not even bother to drill pilot holes. He just drove in the
lag screws with a baby sledge hammer. When they wouldn't go any further, he
would then use the socket wrench. How's that for fine woodworking??

My carpenter brother says "the hammer is for putting 'em in, the screw
driver is for taking 'em out". The hammer is usually one of those
delicate 20oz framing hammers.
