Pub Table

Cut four Foot Rails to size from 2 x 2 boards, as shown in the cutting diagram. Then, with your pocket hole jig set for 1 1/2" material, drill pocket holes in these pieces where shown.

Cut four Legs to size from a 2 x 2 board, as shown in the cutting diagram.

Cut four Aprons to size from 1 x 4 boards, as shown in the cutting diagram. Then, with your pocket hole jig set for 3/4" material, drill pocket holes where shown.

• Begin assembling the table base by creating two assemblies that each consist of two Legs, one Foot Rail, and an Apron.
• Position the Foot Rail between the Legs, as shown, and then attach it using 2 1/2" coarse-thread pocket hole screws.
• Then position the Apron and attach it to the Legs using 1 1/4" coarse-thread pocket hole screws.
• Repeat the process for the other assembly.

• Now you can bring these two assemblies together to complete the base.
• Attach the final two Foot Rails using 2 1/2" course-thread pocket hole screws.
• Then position the final two Aprons, and attach them to the Legs using 1 1/4" coarse-thread pocket hole screws.

• Cut four Corner Blocks from 1 x 4 board, as shown in the cutting diagram. These will be used to reinforce the table base. Note that both ends of each Corner Block are beveled at 45°.
• Drill four 1/8” pilot holes through each Corner Block where shown.

Attach the Corner Blocks to the Base using 1 1/2" flathead wood screws, as shown.

Cut six Top Boards to length from 1 x 6 boards, as shown in the cutting diagram. With your pocket hole jig set for 3/4" material, drill pocket holes in five of the Top Boards, as shown. You don’t need to drill pocket holes in the sixth Top Board.

• Now you can assemble the top.
• Lay out he Top Boards as shown, and then attach them together using glue and 1 1/4" coarse-thread pocket hole screws.
• Once the glue is dry, sand the top smooth.

With the top complete, you can attach it to the table base, as shown, using 1 1/4" coarse-thread pocket hole screws. Make sure that the top overhangs the table base equally on all sides.

Once your table is assembled, you can give everything a final sanding. Then apply the stain or finish of your choice.
