Instructions
1Drill all Kreg holes
After you have cut your wood according to the cut list, add Kreg holes in both sides of the the two longer table frames, the 2 longer table bases, one side of each of the table legs, and all around the 1” table top. Then, in the 2 longer sides of the table base, add 3 Kreg screws along each so you can attach the base to the table top using Kreg screws (these holes are not shown in photo).
2Assemble Table Frame and Table Base
Using 2 1/2” Kreg screws, assemble the frame of the table top and also the table top base. They should be identical.
3Attach table top
Using 1 1/4” screws, attach the table top to one of the two frames you just created. (Paint or stain table top desired color before step 5.)
4Attach legs to table base
Using 2 1/2” Kreg screws, attach the legs to the table base. (Paint or stain your desired color before step 5.)
5Attach base to table top
Using 2 1/2” Kreg screws, attach table base to the table top.
