Step-by-step build — 11 steps. Also available as a print sheet.
Start by cutting your legs. Cut three boards to 24" with parallel 10 degree miter cuts on each end.
Time to drill your pocket holes. Don't drill anything on the legs. Make sure that you're working on the underside of your boards. You should drill all of your holes on the long side of each board. On each of the top and lower beams, drill two pocket holes on the mitered edge to connect to the legs. Then, on the points, drill two pocket holes on each tip, but make sure they are drilled in places that won't run into other screws. See the picture.
Use 2 1/2" Kreg pocket screws to attach your top beams together at the points.
Use 2 1/2" pocket screws to connect your lower beams together at the points.
Clamp your top beams down on something like the Kreg Mobile Project Center. Use 2 1/2" Kreg pocket screws to attach the top beams to the ends of your three legs.
Slide your lower beams down until they encounter the legs on all three sides. This should be about 8" from the bottom of the legs. Use 2 1/2" Kreg pocket screws to attach the lower beams to the legs.
Stain your geometric coffee table legs whatever color matches your decor. Then, apply polyurethane for protection.
Finally, apply a top to the geometric base. A 36" diameter round top will work best for this size leg base. If you are looking to really see the design well, a glass top will work best and can just rest on top. If you want a wood top, you can either cut one, or purchase a prefabricated round wood top and attach it to the base with wood glue and clamps.
