  5. 5Assemble table top slats

    Assemble the table top slats onto the frame. I used 1.5" overhang on both sides of the slats. The first slat was attached flush on the inside edge of the long apron giving a 1" overhang in the front of the table. I used a yard stick which was about 1/4" thick as a spacer between the slats.
