Farmhouse X-Leg Side Table

Attach the legs to two of the 2x6 shelf boards with 2-1/2" screws, edges flush on top and outside. Leave a 1-1/2" space underneath the bottom shelf — a spare 2x board makes a good spacer to get the height consistent between both leg sets.

Scribe and cut the X detail directly against the assembled legs, following a reference guide for the scribing technique.

Attach the 2x2 side aprons to the leg sets with glue and 2-1/2" self-tapping screws, driven at a slight angle for a stronger joint.

Use 2-1/2" screws to attach the shelf boards to the 2x2 side aprons.

Lay the tabletop boards face down on a flat surface. Attach the base to the boards with 2-1/2" screws and glue driven from underneath. Sand and finish.
