Mobile Planer Table

Step-by-step build — 9 steps. Also available as a print sheet.

  1. 1Drill pocket holes

    - Start by drilling two pocket holes on each end of all eight of the legs. - Set the collar depth of the drill to 3/4" instead of 1 1/2" thickness, due to the fact that the screw will be going into 3/4" thick wood.

  2. 2Assemble Planer Base

    Using wood glue and 1 1/4" pocket hole screws, attach one Planer Leg into each corner of the Planer Base.
