Step-by-step build — 10 steps. Also available as a print sheet.
Using 1 1/4 Kreg screws and glue, screw together the top as shown. The five 1x4's should be stacking in the middle with the two 1x3's on the left and right.
Attach both scalloped aprons to the legs. Legs should be angled outward.
Attach the bottom shelf supports using 1" Kreg screws 7" from the bottom of the leg and centered in the middle. Make sure to keep the support straight up and down and not angled like the leg.
Attach the front side and back to one another by the shelf supports using 1" Kreg screws as shown in the photo above.
Attach the side aprons using 1" Kreg screws. Keep the apron flush with the angled legs. The apron will be just slightly angled.
Flip the frame upside down and attach the top using 1" Kreg screws. The front and back of the top should hang off about 1 1/2" and 2 1/2" on the left and right.
Attach the bottom shelf boards with brad nails. The front and back boards should be right up against the legs and there should be 1/4" gap between each board.
Fill all the cracks and nail holes with wood filler and sand all over. Apply your favorite stain or paint.
