Step-by-step build — 6 steps. Also available as a print sheet.
Lay the 1x8 tabletop boards together and glue between them. Measure the assembled width and cut the trim to fit, then nail the trim to the ends with 1-1/4" brad nails and glue. Build two identical panels for the top and bottom.
Match the top 2x4 inner support to the side trim length and attach the legs with screws. Attach the cross supports with 1-1/4" brad nails and glue, adjusting for level.
Attach the leg frame inside the top panel with screws and glue.
Set the leg-and-top assembly on top of the bottom shelf panel. Attach with screws and glue.
Finish the base by adding the remaining cross supports with 1-1/4" brad nails and glue.
Sand all surfaces and apply primer and paint, or stain and poly.
